Speedland - GL:SVT

(I run for them, disclaimer) SpeedLand GL:SVT. I live near Banff in the Canadian Rockies and take them into the alpine 2-3x a week. Built in gaiter, great tread, carbon plate acts as a rock plate, boa system lacing. I’ve worn then with crampons and have done everything from 40 mile days to low grade soloing in them. Big fan.

Speedland shoes, Path Projects & Roark clothing

Currently rotating 3 pair. 2 pair of Speedland. One for trail (GS:PDX) and the other (GL:SVT) more aggressive for crappy trail conditions. Also have a pair of Hokas (Clifton) for road and treadmill

I’ve been using Speedland shoes for over a year. Changed the game for me and I’ll probably never go back to “big box” shoes

Said it before and I’ll say it again. Speedland shoes are unreal. Wide toe box, cushy, great traction and will outlast just about any other shoe I’ve ever ran in. Worth every penny!

Availability. Not much people wear shoes they can't try on. Im a big fan of the skechers performance line and I tell everyone about them but it makes it harder when its just word of mouth. I use speedlands on trails and even for me it was hard justifying buying something you may not like. I almost guarantee if you had shoes available at more running shops or retailers you'd be able to get more people into them. Plus most shops only recommend what they carry.

Speedland, the only shoe I will wear on trail.

I rolled my ankles about every 6 months in speedgoats then switched to speedland and haven't rolled an ankle in 2 years. They also last longer and I will never wear a shoe without boa again.

Yep most overrated shoe on the market along with hoka speedboats

My last pair of Speedlands lasted me over 1000 miles. While it can be expensive up front it saved me money in the end as it lasted at least 2.5x longer than a $150 pair would.

Since you’re willing to spend some money, you should look into Speedland. Superior durability.

Oh yeah, bummer. Get a stateside friend to send some!

Speedland are the super supers.

Dozens- hoka, altra, topo, speedland and mount to coast. Rotate them all kinda. Two different sizes. I am a big guy and don’t cheap on my shoes. Whatever it takes to get the miles in.

Speedland, all day every day.

Speedland. They’re expensive but they last for a long long time.
