This is my 3rd shoe from Speedland and might be my favorite yet. I’ve also got the Tam & GS:pdx in the rotation. I like that these are lower stack and much firmer than the GS series. They still feel like they’d be suitable for 100 milers though. They’re light and nimble. Grip is great (an issue I had with the GS:Tam), first run was on damp trails with lots of slick rock and these things grabbed everything, no issues there at all. My only wish would be for another millimeter or two of space in the toe box. Shoe fits true to size for me, would recommend them to anyone.

Buy it.
Excellent shoe. Very much true to size, size 12 fits like a 12.5 did in my SFD for reference. The Velcro strap gives a great lock down, and I’ve been purposely getting them super muddy to see how well the Velcro works when not new, and it’s been great. Love the shoe! Traction is insane also with the longer lugs.

Amazing shoes
As a long time Altra runner I can tell already that these are going to be the shoes for me. There’s slightly less room in the toe box than the wide profile Altras but otherwise feels very much the same. Super well built and the velcro strap provides and unparalleled heel lock. Stoked!

Ticks every box
Previous reviewers have already covered the specifics, so I will just say that the GL:PDX is superb in all facets and I can't wait to put more miles on them. It is a technical trail slayer indeed. Bravo Speedland!
