Salomon Sense Ride 4 Men's Trail Running Shoes, Responsive ride, Foothold & protection, and All-terrain grip

Product Information

While I love the fast feeling of a larger drop shoe on the trail, the responsiveness delivered by the Optivibe midsole compensates with noticeable energy return. The Salomon Sense 4 Pro upgrades the midsole and outsole on the newest model of this shoe for a fast, protected run for any distance or terrain.

However, you're never going to get the same level of protection required from a trail runner as you would a heavy-duty hiking shoe. Although they are often heavier and less agile, if you only need a hiking shoe, good options for you could be Nike Air Zoom Wildhorse 6 or Salomon S/Lab Ultra 3. But beware, there is a marginal increase in price with the Nike hiker, and the Salomon shoe is over double the price.The upper combines precise foothold, especially around the heel, resistant fabrics and anti-debris mesh. The traction on the Sense Ride 4 is nearly identical to its predecessor. Featuring 4mm deep diamond-shaped lugs, these shoes do surprisingly well in both mud and gravel, as the lugs are spaced optimally to provide traction when things are loose while still shedding mud admirably. EndoFit: This is an internal fit sleeve designed to hug the foot in exactly the right places and provide a precise fit. What are your experiences with the Sense Ride line? Do you feel like this version is a big improvement? Just enough cushioning and Optivibe foam to absorb vibrations and decrease muscle fatigue without weighing you down. Will keep you comfortable and moving for many miles on the trail.

The Salomon Sense Ride 4’s are everything you want in a trail shoe – they are incredibly stable, lightweight, breathable and work well on all different types of terrain. Perfect for summer trail runs or hikes in the mountains. So why didn’t this moderately weighted, 8-millimeter drop trail shoe with great durability dominate the market? As someone who has run in every iteration of this shoe, I have my druthers, and the bottom line as to why previous iterations of the Sense Ride didn’t receive more acclaim is frankly the ride of the shoe itself.

The heel counter has been slightly redesigned, with a visually more narrow and slightly higher profile and with thinner padding around the collar.
