Speedland - GS:CCD Trail Running Shoes

Expensive but speedlands are super light and cushioned

6’4” and 204 here. Depending on what size you need, check out Speedlands. Expensive, yes, but last way longer than Hokas so probably a wash in terms of cost.

Saucony exodus ultra 2. Can find on Amazon. Topo ultraventure if you like a roomy toebox. If you can afford a little higher i just got two pairs of speedlands and I'm loving them so far

Topo are pretty durable and are in my summer rotation…once the snow and rain hit they’re dangerous though. Speedlands are awesome in the bad weather but they’re pretty expensive, I’ve only purchased one pair of GLs due to price. The new balance Hierro are pretty wide as well and super tacky. I don’t have a wide foot but do appreciate some wiggle room on longer runs and hikes so my rotation also has some nnormals (my preferred shoe) and Saucony…

1. Super shoe but Speedlands are pretty dang wide. 2. MTC are good. I’d give em a ‘B’ if Speedlands and Altras are an ‘A’.

Speedland GS:CCD, nnormal tomir, craft explor 2

I just got the speedlands gs:ccd and i love them. The toebox is great and im really liking the boa lockdown. They are on the pricey side but they are supposed to last awhile

My Speedlands are approaching 600 trail miles and still look and feel great.

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!

Currently using On and Speedlands. Enjoying both

I just retuned the 005s as I couldn’t quite get the fit right (they’re great on flat road but couldn’t get it dialed for the steeper ascents and descents I do). I’m going back to the Speedland GS:CCD (I have the GS:PDX and they are my favorite trail shoes ever). For background: I have had two pairs of 001s for 2 years (white gum are my daily and travel shoes) and the ciele x Norda in gravel have been my trail shoes in rotation….but I keep going back to the Speedland’s when I want a superb fit (BOA is next level) and solid comfort on the longer efforts.

Speedland if you can swing the price. I’m at 500 miles in mine and still feel fresh…unusually rotate shoes at 300-350. I’ve done a 50k, a 50 miler and a 100k in them

I’ve personally found that a wide toe box is a greater advantage for me over everything else on trail. I’ve worn Altra, Hoka, Norda, and Speedland over the last 10 years of ultra racing and training. Wide toe box + BOA system is my holy grail and I’m currently in Speedland’s after coming over from the Altra Mont Blanc BOA. I tightened up my stride in zero drop over time and has been good for trail cadence and nimbleness whether I’m in a zero drop or drop shoe.
