More responsive, more stable, and with improved grip, they are designed for those seeking speed, protection, and confidence on any technical terrain.
Since its first version, the Speedgoat saga has become a benchmark in trail running, especially among mid and long-distance runners who need a shoe capable of performing in the mountains without compromising comfort. This new version follows the same path, maintaining the model's DNA but refining key details that make a difference when the miles start to add up.
This version's design reminds us of version 2, but with all the improvements and updates in its current technologies.
What's new in the Speedgoat 7?
The seventh generation maintains the essence that has made the saga famous, but introduces key improvements:
1. More resistant and breathable upper
The new technical mesh offers:
- Greater durability in high-friction and impact areas.
- Better ventilation on long runs.
- More secure fit without sacrificing comfort.
In addition, the redesigned upper improves the overall structure of the shoe, allowing the foot to stay better supported even on technical sections, descents, or uneven terrain. This is especially important in trail running, where foot stability within the shoe can make a difference on downhills or changes in terrain. Perfect for runners who demand the most from their shoes on technical terrain.
