GS:TAM 2

I’ve got about 50 miles in the GS: TAM 2, and I’ll say it plainly: if you can get the fit to work for you, this could be The One. The fit leans race-tuned, so plan on a few runs of BOA adjustments before you find your setting. At first I had to work through some ankle rubbing on the outside of the left collar, but once I got my sock and fit combo locked down, these became the ultimate mountain cruiser.

The Mount to Coast M1 may be getting all the hype as the dreamboat 200-mile king, but the TAM 2 is not playing around and going for the crown. I think this is the best the foam has ever been in a Speedland trail shoe, and you can feel the years of tweaking paying off. It doesn’t feel like a trampoline, and it isn’t supposed to. Once you’ve got it dialed in, this is the most enjoyable “set it and forget it” shoe you’re likely to find.

I worry about updates as second iterations haven’t always met expectations. The TAM 2 is excellent. Lighter than the original, better heel collar fit and a revised and more responsive and slightly softer foam are evident improvements. The fit is interesting as I went for the same size as the Sky and LDVL RX models but found the TAM 2 is longer in the toe box on the run. I checked the insoles and they are the same length. The TAM 2 rocker is more subtle and flatter than the RX models so i suspect this generates the feeling of more length. I will likely go down half a size for the next GS release.

I've been using the Speedland GS models since the 2024 and the new GS:TAM2 is the best version yet. I started using the Speedland GS model shoe back in 2024 and it's been my favorite shoe since! I ran the 2024 Cocodona 250 and 2025 Arizona Monster 300 with no foot issues at all. The new model fits my foot perfectly; I love the new upper, improved foam and the color way is amazing! 5 Stars on this model Speedland, well done!

A little stiff on the outer left ankle but good to go after 10 miles. Can’t say enough about the quality of Speedlands. This is my 6th pair. I don’t run in anything else

Speedland shoes are the most comfortable and give you the most traction for climbing steep hills in Oregon at 66 years old that what I need
