Speedgoat 6 Trail Running Shoe - Women's

Vibram Megagrip is a specialized rubber sole designed for high-performance footwear. It offers exceptional traction on various surfaces, making it perfect for trail running. The unique tread pattern and rubber composition enhance grip, especially on wet or uneven terrain, ensuring you stay stable and secure during your runs.

Compression-molded EVA is a durable foam material used in the midsoles of running shoes. This process creates a denser foam that provides superior cushioning and energy return, helping to absorb impact and support your foot. This means you can run longer and more comfortably, reducing fatigue and the risk of injury.

A gusseted tongue is attached to the sides of the shoe, which helps keep debris like dirt and rocks out while you run on trails. This design not only enhances comfort by preventing irritation but also protects your foot, allowing you to focus on your performance without distractions.

Neutral support type shoes are designed for runners with a natural stride who do not overpronate. These shoes provide balanced cushioning and flexibility, allowing for a more natural foot movement. If you have a neutral gait, these shoes can help enhance your running efficiency and comfort.

A 5mm drop indicates that the heel of the shoe is 5mm higher than the forefoot. This lower drop encourages a more natural running form, promoting a midfoot strike rather than a heel strike. This can help reduce the risk of injury and improve your overall running efficiency, making it a great choice for many runners.

Shoes with features like Vibram Megagrip, compression-molded EVA, a gusseted tongue, neutral support, and a 5mm drop are designed to enhance your running experience. They provide superior traction, comfort, protection, and support, which can lead to better performance and a more enjoyable run. Investing in footwear with these technologies can help you achieve your running goals more effectively.
