Several tester’s picked the shoe’s traction as their favorite thing about the Sense Ride, and one look at the outsole will tell you why. “I never felt any sharp rocks coming through.” Grippy Lugs “While the cushioning is just average, it’s enough for a trail shoe,” one tester remarked. While our data from the RW Shoe Lab indicated that the Sense Ride does have minimal cushion with an especially firm heel, it offered just enough protection underfoot for rocky terrain. The lightly cushioned and more flexible midsole offers a well-protected ride for fine-tuned control and feeling the trail. However, our testers didn’t think the shoe felt bulky despite having a little more weight on foot. Trail shoes will usually cost you a few extra ounces for added durability, and the Sense Ride is no exception. “ incredible traction in wet conditions and terrific water resistance.”Ī midsole that provides just enough cushion as well as protection from jagged rock (men’s shown). “This is the best trail shoe I have ever owned,” one tester raved. According to our testers, the pulley-lace system and the Gore-Tex upper made the Sense Ride a top pick for running when the weather is bad and the trails are worse. The design not only keeps your laces from dragging through the mud, but also saves you from trips and snags on the trails. The durable cord-like laces loosen and tighten on an adjustable cinch that locks in a secure fit, and then easily stores inside a pocket on the shoe’s tongue. The Sense Ride pairs its weatherized upper with quick-pull lacing to match. Using a new Gore-Tex waterproof membrane that is bonded to the upper mesh, the Sense Ride GTX keeps you feeling dry and fast for more puddle-splashing and mud-splattering wherever your runs take you. In its newest version, Salomon gives the Sense Ride a fully protective Gore-Tex construction that lets you traverse terrain that would normally have your feet soaked and spirits soggy. I'd be going elsewhere for my next dream waterproof trail running shoes.The right shoe f or: All-weather trail runningįorget turning back the next time your favorite trail floods, or detouring when your usual route is mostly puddles. I was so disappointment that whatever design this model was in 2019 has changed for the worse. It hurts so bad I barely could wear my climbing shoes on my trip. However, after a 30-min walk, my left ankle was so badly rubbed against the opening of the shoes (and I didn't even tie tightly), and I was limping the next few days. I've used them for years until sadly they were too worn out and have massive holes.įast forward to 2022 when I got the Sense Ride 4 with hope that i'd be able to wear my dream shoes again, so I got the same size same everything as the 2019 version. It was super light weight, easy to get in and out, good fit. I swore that this is the best shoes that I've ever bought because it helped me dry and survive many crazy adventures through national parks and races, and the Goretex is god sent. When I first wore my first Salomon Sense Ride GTX Invisible Fit Trail-Running Shoes that I bought back in 2019, I was absolutely in love. My left ankle bone was literally bruised! I'm not sure where to start, I was so disappointed.
