"The Speedland GL:PDX ($250) has a lower stack height and higher volume than many other shoes from the Speedland and offers exceptional comfort over longer distances. Equipped with a single BOA and a strap, the upper has a unique design that's a departure from the brand's more regular use of two BOAs. The Michelin rubber outsole provides plenty of grip on a variety of surfaces, and the 6.5-millimeter lugs are substantial enough to work in mud as well as drier trails."
"The shoe has an actual weight of 10.6 ounces (302 grams) for a U.S. men's 9. With a stack height of 35 millimeters at the heel and 28 millimeters at the toe, it's lower to the ground than other Speedlands. The shoe has a similar fit to shoes from Altra or Topo, but the 5-millimeter drop makes it more accessible than zero-drop shoes."
The Speedland GL:PDX costs $250 and combines a lower stack height with higher internal volume to support foot swelling during long efforts. The shoe weighs about 10.6 ounces (302 g) in a U.S. men's 9 and features a 5-millimeter drop with 35 mm heel and 28 mm toe stack heights. A single BOA dial paired with a forefoot strap secures the unique upper, while a Michelin rubber outsole with 6.5 mm lugs provides strong grip in mud and dry trails. An HTPU midsole plus a thick sockliner creates a comfortable ride, but the upper can be hard to lock down for narrow heels, reducing suitability on technical terrain.
