Half Dome Summit - Yosemite National Park

Whether you're clamoring over boulders, scaling scree fields, or pounding up stair-like trails, the rugged Speedgoat 6's will get you to the top in comfort. Gain traction without sacrificing weight thanks to the meticulously crafted Vibram Megagrip sole. Each rubber lug is placed to mimic the hoof of nature's best alpinist, so have confidence that your shoes will hold on where others slip up. There's only one GOAT when it comes to bagging summits, and this summer it'll be you.

Klamath River National Forest

Many a hike through nature's most pristine landscapes have come to a screeching halt at the bend of a wide and rushing river. Wet socks can, and will, ruin a hike, but thankfully the Speedgoat 6's have your back. An upper layer made from a breathable woven textile allows any moisture within the shoe to evaporate before chafing has a chance to set in. Say goodbye to trench foot and heat blisters too! The Speedgoat 6's will help your feet stay as dry as the Camelback you forgot to fill before the hike.

Fern Canyon - Redwood National Park

Nothing smarts quite like your big toe run ram-shot into the overgrown root of an ancient redwood. But thanks to the Speedgoat 6's protective toe bumper, your days of hopping and howling are over. Ankle twists are a thing of the past too. The Speedgoat 6's dynamic vamp allows for full range of ankle motion which strengthens muscles while walking and allows for natural bend when those pesky roots do jump out to trip you. Your feet, and especially your toe nails, will thank you come the end of the summer.

Mosaic Canyon - Death Valley National Park

If you're the kind of person who seeks out the sun, then you'll appreciate the nearly weightless profile of the Speedgoat 6 and it's air-like foam supports. Sand is heavy, and hiking boots can turn a quick jaunt through the desert into an endless slog. The Speedgoat 6's ask so little of your legs that you'll have more than enough energy for shimmying through side-quest slot canyons. The lightweight midsole helps support your foot's arch even on uneven terrain, negating pain from your knees to your toes.

Coastal Tide Pools - La Jolla State Marine Reserve

Alien worlds are blossoming all along our nation's coasts. These magical places are accessible with the right gear, but downright dangerous for those in unforgiving footwear. Seaweed and algae combine to create constant slipping hazards, and razor sharp shells mingle with jagged rock in a painful embrace for anyone not sound of foot. Satiate your inner explorer thanks to the Speedgoat 6's sturdy Vibram Megagrip sole. Not only are you safe from slipping, but the rip resistant rubber will hold up against even the sharpest of shells. One small step for man... one giant leap for trail runners.

Any Beachfront Bar

All this adventure is sure to make anyone hungry, and maybe a little thirsty too. Thankfully you can count on the Speedgoat 6s' to transition from the mountain to the bar stool with ease and style. The soles' rubber lugs don't feel obtrusive when walking on surfaces like concrete or asphalt, and their rugged construction means you won't wear out your shoes. Gone too are the days of ugly outdoor gear. The Speedgoat 6's come in over 20 styles - from all black to practically rainbow. We're confident the only comments you'll get on your footwear choice are compliments.
