Best for Dry Trails
$120.00
The responsive Torrent won over longtime Speedgoat fans with its lightness and soft midsole.
Testers appreciated all that protection on our notoriously rugged local trails, but noted it complicate the lacing system, making it more difficult to quickly get the right fit. The lace pocket on the Wildcross follows the top-loading entry of the S/Lab Ultra and Ultra Pro. “I am a perpetual shoelace tension seeker,” said one tester, “I was unable to get that quick, one-pull tighten that I can achieve in the Speedcross. It took a little longer, albeit not long, to achieve the right tightness during the run.” Once they were able to dial in the fit, however, testers found that the shoe felt very secure.
