In short

Runners like it as a stable, comfortable trail shoe that does well on descents, but fit is a recurring problem, with some finding it too narrow or tight.

Runners find the Speedgoat 6 firm and stiff, with solid grip and a stable platform on rocky, technical trails.

Runners mostly use it for ultras and long trail days with good results, but some find it narrow or short.
