No one has said speedland….i have the gs:pdx and they have a wide toe box, boa system so swelling feet won’t get hot spots, and an optional carbon plate insert. Brings the roominess of Altra without zero drop. Yeah they are ugly. But they are comfortable
You can get 10% off your order for being a new customer…that ended up getting me the carbon inserts for free. They way I see it, I can pay $160 for a pair of run of the mill shoes or for $100 more get a par of shoes that will last twice as long
Toe box is fine on H1’s. However, I wear a size 13 and my midfoot arch literally hangs out over the midsole when I’m standing. Like a fat guys belly hanging over their pants. I am really thinking of returning them. Anyone else experience this? My most comfortable shoes are the Altra Olympus 6 and Speedland gs:pdx.
So in love with my speedlands. I have a very wide forefoot and have had to run in wide versions of trail shoes for years but they all suck. Normal speedland pdx’s fit amazing! I love trail running again with these shoes, now on second pair
Trail Rotation: Norda 01, La Sportivia Prodigio Pro, Mount to Coast T1 Treadmill: Mount to Coast R1 Tried & Didn’t Like: Arteryx Sylan Pro, Speedlands GTX
I like my speedland GS much better than the H1. Better for my feet and more cushioned.
Speedlands have been the best for my feet. Not cheap but haven’t found anything better and I’ve been trying. Haven’t tried norda yet.
Speedlands GS models are awesome. Mount to coast h1 is great for road to flowy trails. Their T1 is great for chunky steep stuff.
Speedland GS. Worth every penny
Speedland GS. My go to winter shoe for the past two seasons, unreal traction and durability
Came here to say this! The Speedland GS are unreal. People are scared of the price tag but they will feel like new after 500+ miles
Speedland shoes, Path Projects & Roark clothing
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!
