    This product is for…

    Dedicated trail runners looking for a reliable daily trainer across light to heavy technical terrain, including steep and rocky ground. Also suits those training for mountain races or longer alpine objectives.

    Worth noting…

    The toe box is slightly wider than the previous version (6), a noted improvement for long-time Speedgoat wearers. The heel counter is not stiff, which one host flagged as a benefit for those with Haglund's deformity.
