Light, comfortable & responsive.
Feels like I’m cheating.
Love the shoes
Love the plates in all models!!
Its like having two pairs of shoes, one for long distance without the plate, and when I run shorter distances, I place the plate in the shoe.
I was super excited to try Speedland, I have listened to and followed Cam Hanes for years and most shows he recommends are 10/10. I first order a pair at my true to fit size of 11 but had to exchange for 11.5. To be honest the first 2 runs felt slow and clunky, but since that “break in” period I have loved the shoe. I have had Boa system in the past that have cut off too much circulation and numbness in my feet. With this system where the fabric wraps over the top and the cable is off the side it is perfect.
I will be ordering a pair of Trail shoes and more street shoes. I currently have about 75 miles in these and they continue to impress me.
One draw back is even with the carbon plate insert they are not as responsive as a Vapor fly. I would not classify these as a race shoe but more of a long run or every day trainer. Maybe it’s just me but they do not feel super snappy.
Love the shoe and the company! Keep up the good work.
The Carbitex GearFlex Plate is an outstanding piece of art to be honest. It helps when running through the streets or trails with what you’re stepping on, as well the push you can have off each time them feet touch the ground. I don’t say that it makes you run faster, but it allows you to run that speed you have, very consistent. I’ve ran without my plates, ran with my plates and I just have that much more control and consistent push every time off the tocks, roots, sticks, bumpy concrete, doesn’t matter, it really helps with that too! I have Plates in my GS:PDX, GL:PDX & RX:CCD, and I love it. I think the only time I’ll take my plates out, is when I’m washing mud from my shoes! :)
