Sense Ride 2

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.

I loved my Sense Rides but then I found Altra Experience Wilds. They are so light they have the same fun ride the Sense Rides had but removed the main issue I had with the rides being how narrow they were. Only downside is they last about 1/2 as long before needing replacing.

I switched from Sense Ride to Ultra Glide a couple years ago... Definitely my favorite shoe at the moment. About just as roomy, and a bit more plush which my feet really appreciate in the long run. I also really liked everything about the Aero Glide GRVL, except the lace loops (eyelets?) on the 3s were placed as such they bruised the top of my foot... Looks like the 4s redid the lacing, so I might give them another go. Really fun shoe.

I am so bummed Salomon discontinued the Sense Rides!! I tried the new Genesis and didn’t love how narrow they ran. They made my feet fall asleep. Then I ran in a pair of Asics for a while but they had a narrow spot that caused a hot spot on my pinky toe. Anyone else feeling the loss of the Sense Rides?? Find anything similar??

The Sense Mantras were the real GOAT.. when they transitioned to the Sense Ride it was a slow decline. I’d recommend trying the S/lab Genesis. Different price point but far better than the standard genesis IMO
