Just finished my third race in the PDX, in rugged Monument Valley on the Navajo Nation. Despite a snow-flecked sandstorm, they performed superbly on dunes, slick rock, and muddy single track with plunging ascents and descents on technical terrain. The PDX has substantially improved my cadence in such tricky situations! It enables you to run with greater confidence. Highly recommend!
Customising the length of the lugz is awesome, but i think if you can relug a shoe when they are ground away, when the upper is still fine, that would really be bang for your buck...
I love this idea too. I’ll se if it’s possible.
Appreciate the sneak peak of the SL:HSV!
👀
Wow. Didn’t expect this video be such interesting and informative. Huge respect to guys for trying to bring technologies from mountain biking and basketball to running shoes. But it is still too expensive :)
PS
Are you going to sell spare parts for this shoe? Like new eva module if the original is worn out?
I think they are considering this! Thanks for watching.
Would these shoes be suited for daily outdoor work. For example rough terrain, grass, gravel, sticks etc. But also just standing stationary for long periods of time
Great walkthrough!
When you're a pioneer the old gaurd will resent your rebellion! In time, with education and exposure they will understand. I appreciate the existence of this brand and these guys. No one should be insulted by the price when there has been much thought and respect given to the development and athlete. We are not triathlon, not cycling, not skiing. But we deserve equipment options of the highest standards.
Thanks Brian!
@@dylanbowman8522 absolutely. My mission is to see Ultra create a space for serious amateur competition. Like marathon with BQ, triathlon/cycling with individual and team competition. Ultra needs a space for established amateur competition NOT strictly for the elites or rising elite. I see brands like Speedland as a positive step in that direction. I'd love to brainstorm this in your coffee hour meetings over at Freetrail.
Really interesting but the price is still shocking for a trail shoe ! It could only be justified by a really exceptional durability...
Totally get it. FWIW, the durability really is incredible.
@@Freetrail I believe you right away, but I can buy 3 pairs of my regular trail shoes for this price and I've done everything up to 100 miles ultra trails on my regular shoes. The question then is of this shoe can go 1500+ miles.... otherwise the price is prohibitively high to many runners. I really appreciate the innovative approach and I'd love to give these a try... but I am a 2500+ mile/year runner. I go through a LOT of shoes. If I need to start paying $375 per pair of running shoes... ouch.
It's a brand to keep an eye on though.
@@CyrrusNL Yep, I get it. We're hoping to have a more affordable option in the fall. The Boa is fantastic! I've never had issues with it coming undone. thanks for watching and commenting!
Shoes look great. Definitely some great design ideas.
100%
really interesting shoe, but good lord that price! Would need to get ~1500 miles or so out of them to really justify it (for myself at least)
Totally get it. I will say, they are very durable -- more so than other brands I've worn. I have a pair with ~450 miles that still feels great. The PBAX midsole has almost no sign of wear. The more cushioned version scheduled for fall release will likely last a ridiculous amount of time.
I don't get the price response when you open your mind to consider other outdoor sporting. Rock climbing, skiing, winter clothing, cycling, camping/long trail backpacking, golf and even bowling have similar or massively increased equipment cost. options
@@briannalia6440 Seems like a logical response given there are other companies that are offering a competing product at 1/3rd the price.
Now as I said in my original comment, IF the shoes have some insane durability or if we start seeing the athletes that are using these shoes breaking records there may be some argument to justify the price.
Until then, I think it will be a tough sell to the average trail runner, but perhaps that isn't there target market anyways...
@@nwOutdoorAdventures you've illustrated my point. There isn't a competitor offering the exact same product for 1/3 the price. They have been fully transparent with what materials go into their package. If you compare a Hoka or TNF carbon trail shoe to Speedland you're not comparing equal build specs and those details matter. At the end of the day $375 for a piece of hand crafted equipment with no sacrifice on material for a sport that most 100 mile events cost $250-$400 entry fee seems entirely reasonable. Why scoff at price when the brand is unapologetically honest about the components of the shoe? I have bigger issues with a $160 shoe that brings 3-5 year old technology.
Great and interesting video, how stable is the shoe, a shoe good for pronators?
Is the pebax drop in midsole replaceable?
These shoes are 🔥
In your podcast and here its not clear what your relationship is, as I think you say in the podcast that you are not sponsored by Speedland in the traditional sense. So can you clarify? Looks an amazing preformance shoe and great analogy to road bike shoes.
I’m sponsored personally, they’re sponsor of the podcast and my race, and I’m also an equity partner in the business. That’s what I mean by non-traditional. Very happy to develop this unique relationship. 🙏
@@dylanbowman8522 Thanks Dylan. Good luck with the company, relationship and race.
Ok, but what about those black versions? does that say SL:HSV?
Yep. Their next shoe is the HSV. Named for Huntsville I believe.
Sneak peek of the HSV!
Why hasn't BOA been adopted by more running shoe brands? I assumed after 10 years we would have more running shoes with BOA lacing?
Love BOA!!!
That Is one hell of a statement to make "Best trail shoe ever" and thats coming from an ultra runner from England!! SHOCKING price tag!!
Very innovative, hope you guys patented these novel designs. :)
😁
The Hack Shack is a little old place where, we can get together! Hack Shack Baby! Hack Shack Bay-Bay!
Lol 😆
Fantastic looking shoe, love that color, however there's no getting around that price, going to be a major stopping point for most potential customers.
Interesting!
What is the weight
Get it! Look forward one day to have under feet
🏃
