FAQs
Are these shoes suitable for everyday walking?
While the Speedgoat 7 offers excellent cushioning, its aggressive outsole is optimized for trails. They can be used for walking, but may feel less efficient on pavement compared to road running shoes.
How do I know if I have the right size?
Ensure there is about a thumb's width of space between your longest toe and the end of the shoe when standing. The heel should feel secure without excessive slipping.
What is the main difference between the Speedgoat 7 and previous models?
The Speedgoat 7 features a new SCF midsole for enhanced energy return and a refined heel collar for improved comfort. It also includes gaiter integration.
Can I use these shoes in wet conditions?
Yes, the Speedgoat 7 provides good traction on wet trails. However, like most trail shoes, they are not fully waterproof, so your feet may get wet in prolonged submersion.
What type of terrain are these shoes best suited for?
These shoes are ideal for technical trails, including rocky, rooty, muddy, and uneven surfaces. They offer excellent grip and stability on challenging terrain.
How often should I replace my Speedgoat 7 trail shoes?
The lifespan of trail shoes varies based on usage frequency, terrain, and individual gait. Typically, they should be replaced every 300-500 miles, or when you notice significant wear on the outsole or a loss of cushioning and support.
Troubleshooting
Shoes feel stiff or unresponsive initially.
The new SCF midsole may require a short break-in period. Wear the shoes for shorter walks or runs initially to allow them to adapt to your foot and gait.
Debris entering the shoe.
Ensure gaiters are securely attached to the integration points. Tighten laces adequately and consider a snugger fit around the ankle collar.
Slight discomfort around the heel.
Verify laces are not overtightened. The refined heel collar is designed for comfort, but individual fit can vary. Ensure socks are not bunching.
Traction seems reduced on very smooth, wet surfaces.
While designed for technical terrain, extremely smooth, polished surfaces can challenge any aggressive tread. Clean the outsole to ensure optimal grip.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup:
These trail shoes are ready to wear out of the box. Ensure they fit snugly by adjusting the laces. For enhanced protection against debris, attach compatible gaiters to the integrated points on the shoe.
Compatibility:
- Gaiters: Compatible with most standard trail running gaiters that utilize attachment loops or hooks.
- Socks: Recommended to be worn with moisture-wicking trail socks for optimal comfort and performance.
Care:
- Cleaning: After each use, remove excess dirt and mud with a soft brush or cloth. For deeper cleaning, use a mild soap and cool water. Avoid machine washing or harsh detergents, as this can damage the materials.
- Drying: Allow shoes to air dry naturally at room temperature. Do not place them near direct heat sources like radiators or in a tumble dryer, as this can degrade the adhesives and materials.
- Storage: Store shoes in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight when not in use.
- Laces: Check laces regularly for wear and tear, and replace if necessary to maintain a secure fit.
