Marco Brunyer's review
I have been using the Speedland GS model for the past 3 years, and I haven't looked back. Any time I need a shoe to reliably crush long miles in, this is the one I grab. Highly recommend for all runners putting miles on the trail. There hasn’t been a product with better life than this one.

I have 4+ different variations of Speedlands and absolutely love each one. So many miles on each pair. Great for big technical terrain, and can we talk about micro-adjusting the boas??

I ran my first 100 miler in these and had almost 0 foot issues. They are responsive and have a wide toe box for my wide feet.

I have put over 1000 miles on my two pairs of these shoes. Light gravel work is the most extreme surface I take them on and it will wear them out faster. For speed workouts on a track or treadmill they are my weapon of choice!
