FAQs
Are these shoes suitable for long-distance trail running?
Yes, the Speedgoat 7 is designed for long-distance trail running and hiking, offering ample cushioning and energy return to help reduce fatigue on extended efforts.
How does the new SCF midsole differ from previous versions?
The new SCF (Supercritical Foam) midsole provides increased energy return and a more responsive feel compared to previous Speedgoat models.
What type of terrain are these shoes best suited for?
They are best suited for technical terrain, including rocky paths, steep ascents and descents, and uneven trails. The Vibram Megagrip outsole provides excellent traction on various surfaces.
Can I use these shoes in wet conditions?
Yes, the Vibram Megagrip outsole offers reliable traction on both wet and dry surfaces. However, like all trail shoes, performance may be reduced on extremely slippery, wet surfaces.
How do I attach gaiters to these shoes?
The shoes feature integrated points for gaiter attachment. Refer to the instructions provided with your specific gaiter model for the best way to secure them.
What is the primary benefit of the refined heel collar?
The refined heel collar is designed to provide enhanced comfort and a more secure fit around the ankle, helping to prevent irritation and slippage.
Troubleshooting
Shoes feel too tight or uncomfortable
Ensure you have the correct size. Try wearing different types of socks. Loosen or tighten the laces to adjust the fit. The midsole may require a short break-in period.
Reduced traction on wet surfaces
Check the outsole for embedded debris that might be reducing grip. Clean the outsole thoroughly. Ensure the shoes are not excessively worn; consider replacement if tread is significantly diminished.
Debris entering the shoe
Ensure laces are tied securely. Consider using the gaiter integration points to attach compatible gaiters for added protection.
