This is my fourth Speedland shoe to own - in the first road shoe from them. I can see this is the best running shoe I’ve ever had and I took it out for a 10 mile run the other day and it felt so easy.

This is my fourth pair of Speedlands, this style is by far the most comfortable. Not just for trails but great for my nurse feet working long hours!

And I don't mean running shoes. I mean the best shoes in general. They just fit to your feet and return energy to your hips in a way you can feel just walking around. Much less trail running. I am an amateur ultra runner and if I can feel the difference I know that many will!

These guys never rest. Every model is an improvement from the last one. Every new version is tweaked using feedback from their pros and ambassadors. This shoe is head and shoulders better in every way than anything I’ve run in by them and that’s saying a lot. New midsole compound. New outsole compound. Redesigned heel cup. Strap closure plus boa. Lighter, faster grippier. Don’t sleep on this model. This is your trail race weapon for 2026/27.

This shoe wants to go fast -- I literally won (and PR'd) a race on my first run in it.
