Well I just ditched my Topos because of the aggressive toe spring 😩 and I'm currently trying to find a replacement. Will try the HOKA Tecton X 2 this week. But my favs have been HOKA Speedgoat 4, HOKA Mafate Speed 4, and the Salomon Sense Ride 2 & 4 Favorite vest is still the Nathan VaporHowe
Yeah I've gone to a shop to try them on. I've worn the Salomon Sense Rides before so going for that would be a safe bet. The other two models do also appeal to me as I'm interested to try Innov8's technology, but wasn't sure how comfortable that pair is on tarmac.
Sense Ride is the most comfortable, mainly because I've worn them before. My feet aren't used to Innov8's make and its relatively lower heel drop but I'm contemplating giving it a shot - only if this model is suitable for pavement to trail running though.
And Sense Ride, while we're on Salomon.
I always liked the Salomon Sense Ride. Very durable. Not a large lugged shoe.
Both great shoes. I like the sense ride on my feet a little more. I'm currently rocking the ultra glide 2 in my rotation.
Also, the two Salomon models I have on rotation right now (Sense Ride and Genesis) have stood the test just as fine. SR in lower altitudes/arid soil and Genesis in the Pyrinees. They two give confidence, the former less "comfort" than the latter but obviously are two shoes for different tasks.
I have been running in the Italian Alps for about ten years with distances even over 100km. I think that's enough to give you some advice. It really depends on where you live, the terrain you train on (mud, gravel, rocks, roots), the distance you like. To start, however, I recommend a comfortable shoe with a 4-6mm drop that is not excessively cushioned (you lose a lot of sensitivity on the ground) a sole with not too large notches (if there are some fast areas) Hoka Mafate Speed, New Balance Hierro, La Sportiva Akasha, Nnormal kjerag. Salomon sense ride (cheap and fast) Now I'm using the Scarpa Ribelle Run, they have 500km but they're not good
I have a pair. They are light and have socklike design and are ment for longer distances and faster paces. You need to keep in mind that they are quite narrow and on a firmer side in therms of the ride. I have many Salomon shoes and to be honest I prefer the cheaper and less "pro" models such as Sense Ride.
I have duck feet and went from Altra to Hoka to Salomon for Trail. The Salomon Sense Ride work well for me. And I just bought Topo for my road shoe and I LOVE them.
I also have very wide (duck like) feet. I wear Salomon sense ride and even though they don’t preach it, this shoe accommodates my duckies pretty well. I do get callouses though.
No way! Yesterday while running with my Salamon Sense Rides, i thought to ask Reddit if there is a "Evo SL"-like trail shoe and today i'm reading this. Totally gonna buy it!
