The Speedgoat 6, a descendant of the original line launched in 2015, perpetuates a legacy born from the relentless pursuit of ultrarunning excellence. Its very name pays homage to Karl Meltzer, the legendary "Speedgoat" himself, a champion whose triumphs in grueling 100-mile races set the standard. This iteration, in the 'Varsity Navy Meteor' colorway, continues the tradition of performance and durability.
Designed for the rigors of trail running, hiking, and backpacking, the Speedgoat 6 Wide is a workhorse built for technical terrain and long distances. Its high stack height cushioning and rocker profile provide a plush, cushioned feel with excellent impact absorption. The shoe's construction, from the gusseted tongue to the heel pull loop, is geared towards performance in wet, muddy, rocky, and dry conditions.
The Speedgoat line has indelibly shaped the trail running and hiking communities. The shoe's impact is undeniable, with its thick sole design setting a new standard in the industry. The influence of Karl Meltzer, whose victories across the most demanding events, from the Western States Endurance Run to the Hardrock Hundred Mile Endurance Run, underscores the shoe's association with elite performance. The Speedgoat 6, in its 'Varsity Navy Meteor' variant, continues to represent the pinnacle of trail running footwear.
The Speedgoat 6 Wide utilizes an engineered woven mesh upper, meticulously designed for both resilience and breathability. This textile construction provides a secure lockdown, enhanced by a snug fit through the toe box and heel. The foundation is a compression-molded EVA midsole, coupled with a Vibram Megagrip outsole featuring directional Traction Lugs, ensuring superior grip across diverse terrains.
