Salomon - SENSE RIDE 5 SR

Salomon Sense Ride 5 SR meet your requirements. I use them for my one-shoe solution. Very light wt too. https://www.salomon.com/en-us/product/sense-ride-5-sr-li5592

Whilst I haven't tried waterproof shoes myself I do have a pair of non-waterproof Salomon Sense Ride 5 and even when I've got them soaked - fully submerged - the fact they've taken on water hasn't really been an issue. I guess it just drains back out again. Even a waterpoof shoe won't prevent water getting in around your ankle, and then I can't help but wonder what happens to that water then - how does it get out? I think they'd be better suited for general walking rather than running and splashing around in streams. In August I expect you wouldn't have much to deal with water/weather wise so I'd just go for a pair of normal trail. Enjoy the Peak District - it's an amazing place to run and explore.

Hi, I'm maybe a bit too early but interested how do they wear on road, asphalt. I need something for mixed surface, not racing but running with rucksack, weekends overnight without planning route, so sometimes can be 10 miles on road. I'm doing overall high mileage (however mostly on roads) so needs some cushioning. Only need 1 pair of some universal trail shoes, can't take extra pair when I'm going overseas for a week or 2. Last year I finished my Salomon sense ride 5 (650 miles). They were fine, but insoles moving forward.

Salomon shoes have definitely changed. I went through two pairs of Sense Ride 5 in a year because the eyelets for the laces kept blowing out. The current pair is fine, but I’ll probably switch to a different brand

I just got a pair of these and took them out this morning. Compared to the Salomon Sense Ride 5, the toe box is much roomier, but I felt less agile in them. Guess I got to break them in more.

asphalt and mud? both end of the range... why not buy 2 pairs (cheaper ons maybe or from last years collection - who cares about the color?) I would guess that a pair specialized on dry ground with 3-3.5mm profil could be at half price better for your need than an expensive one that wants to fitt every condition at once. than ad another pair for wet and muddy condition maybe with less bumber/thinner sole (sorry but english is not my fav language) I have asics cumulus for asphalt <-- number 24 or 25 should be cheap already La sportive prodigio for dry conditions adidas soulstride flow gtx for wet conditions <-- have been very cheap on sale so maybe there is n o need for the newest hightech one fits all at the crazies coloring if you choose them wisely for different usecases. your daily runner should be your best shoe. all my shoes also work on asphalt. I also have Salomon sensride 5 with Currex Run Pro insoles, but after a lot of streching and more knowlage i think they are one number too small and I only wear em when i am not running know. They also fit all conditions for me.

I also live in Van and have the sense ride 5's. They've been great, i do the north shore trails once or twice per week and they've held up really well. I've used them for 13KM races and 25KM races and am currently training for an ultra in them and they are still holding up really well. I wouldn't recommend Goretex because your feet will get super hot in the summer time and in the winter its almost inevitable that you'll step in something that cause water to get into the shoe.

I just got a pair of Solomon Sense Ride 5 for $60 at Sierra Trading Post that seem pretty decent.

If you’re buying Salomon, get Sense Ride 5. The best. If you’re looking for cushioned and comfy for long distance consider the brand 361 model Futura.

I use Salomon Sense Ride 5s and they give me a lot of grip & lateral stability on turf. I've used them on hard ground too when I had to (heel pain in my cleats) but they'll slide out if you aren't careful. Not sure why you were downvoted for a solid opinion that was directly related to the OP's question, but some people are just dicks who have nothing better to do than downvote other people.

Yeah, that's why I switched from turf shoes to trail runners. Too much arch/heel pain. The Sense Rides work as well as the Adidas Mundial Team Turfs I played in for years but with a bit more cushion.

I ran a mixture of mostly trail and some road, plus some big hikes and international travel in my Sense Ride 5s. The tread wore down on the ball of my foot and I noticed I was getting like an impact soreness around my knees after about 600km. I still use them for some road runs and walks since I don't own road shoes, but they're trail retired for now, sitting at around 700km on them total. For context these were my first running shoe (read: form probably sucks but I'm trying not to scuffle), and I'm a big ass dude (100kg). I bought S/Lab Genesis shoes and got to use them for my first ever trail race. Probably too bougie of a shoe for someone of my level but the funky extra foam pieces have helped stabilize my one foot that collapses in while I run. They've been awesome so far in about 150km, but I'm strictly saving them for trails.

Salomon Sense Ride 5. The lugs are less aggressive than their other models which would make daily wear more tolerable, and they're pretty solid trail running shoes.

I’ve used whatever my current rotation trail shoe is on any and all hikes - Scottish munroes in full winter conditions with YakTrax spikes over the outsole, to running down snowdon in summer. Hoka speedgoats are good (latest iteration seems to have divided opinion), Salomon Sense Ride 5 for more technical stuff (find them super grippy), Saucony Xodus Ultra for longer stuff (nice cushion). Haven’t tried the NB’s you linked but I’m sure they’ll be fine! 👍

As a fellow haglunds dude.. my main long run/race shoes are nike wildhorse 8's. They don't have a vibram sole, but the toebox is wide-ish and the heel counters don't bother my heels. They have a high heel toe drop though. I also run in topo ultraventure 2's and salomon sense ride 5's. The sense rides don't bother my heels at all, but the toebox is kinda narrow, I can't run more than 15 miles with them.

What is the course like? Lots of “trail” races are glorified gravel races :) you can run those in nova blast. On other hand it might 500m up then down or more it also depends if it is rock or mud/roots. My recommend first ask questions later right now is Salomon Sense ride 5. Such an awesome fast shoe and it wants to fly on descents also relatively cheap. Also Salomon Genesis, more cushioned, stickier sole and bigger lugs, if it is muddy try those? But nothing replaces trying, I though about getting Thundercross.. tried them at an even a ran couple k, really trrrible fit for me. But some people I know love them

i haven’t seen any issues on the technical rocky parts, neither uphill nor steep downhills. Prior to this i had Salomon Sense Ride 4 and 5 (4 pairs in total), even managed to finish Madeira 115k with one of them with no blisters what-so-ever; but i feel these glide 3 even better.

Salomon Sense Ride 4. Been wearing them for years (since they came out) without any issues at all. Longest I've spent on the trail in them was 12 hours. They messed up with Sense Ride 5's; they got narrower and the insert slips around.

And Sense Ride, while we're on Salomon.

I always liked the Salomon Sense Ride. Very durable. Not a large lugged shoe.

Really depends on what kinds of trails you'll be running, and what kind of milage. I have and like the AP 5 a lot, but use it mostly for muddier and/or steeper terrain on longer runs. It has aggressive lugs, that you don't need for smoother, flater single track. They'll of course work for that, but won't be as fun. Same with the Speedgoat (which I also own) but they're a little more stable, while not a agile. If you're coming from the road and some fast running, something like the Salomon Genesis might work better. Or even the Sense Ride, if you'll be doing mostly shorter runs. The Sense Ride is what I use for "speed" work on the trails, and it's a fun shoe. But it doesn't have deep lugs or a lot of cushioning/stack height, so I don't use it for longer runs.

Trail version of the brand you already like. But if that doesn't work, Salomons are usually a good bet if they fit. Ultra Glide, Sense Ride, or Genesis are all sort of all-rounders that for me feel close to road shoes.

I haven't tried any of those, but did try an earlier Peregrine (10 maybe), and didn't like it. Too "dead" and heavy for my liking. But the newer versions are better from what I've read. It could be worth a try, given how popular they are. I do have all three of the Salomons I mentioned, but also have and like the Merrell Long Sky 2 and their Agility Peak, which I'm wearing more these days because they have a wider toe box.

I use the Sense Ride… they are great for my narrow feet

The answer is: it depends on the shoe. My Salomons shed mud pretty well (Ultra glide 2, Sense Ride 4, Thunder Cross), as do my Saucony Xodus Ultras. I wouldn't recommend either the Sense Rides or the UGs for very muddy conditions.

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.

As some have already said the Speedcross is amazing. I've been using them since the OG and use it for races up to 26 2. Just an awesome shoe that gets better with every new release. I wear mine down on the trails and when the lugs are down a bit use them for road/gravel/smooth trails. The 6 is amazing and I try something new I always regret it and they are moved to everyday/work in hospital use. That said I liked the Sense Ride but above 10 miles I could feel it in my feet. I race ultras in SLab Genesis and train in the regular Genesis. For your terrain and preference I would look at the less aggressive lines. Another option outside of Salomon would be Hoka Speedgoats. Super cushy and lower lug height that Speedcross.

You will sacrifice speed with approach shoes so it depends if you want to hike or also do some running. I do everything in trail runners. I know people who bring climbing shoes for some objectives, but not the ones you mention. As long as your scrambling, I don't think you will need to bring more than 1 pair of shoes (bar if you do a snow/ice/glacier objective and want to bring mountaineering boots). Shoes I've worn: Salomon Sense Ride, Salomon Slab Genesis, Norda 001, Topo Mountain Racer. All give more more than enough grip and confidence on hard scrambles.

I enjoy my pair of Genesis. They are comfy, feel light when I’m running and I always enjoy them. But that’s the only way to describe it for me? I don’t know why but I just haven’t had the same “I love them, I am obsessed with them” experience that people seem to be having. I actually find my Sense Rides are a much better fit for me and feel more natural. But there’s nothing I “dislike” about the genesis. I’m not sure I’m making sense haha. It’s been a mid experience and very average but it never deters me from wearing them and I rock them multiple times a week. Maybe that actually is a good thing haha

I cut my teeth in trail running with the speed cross and loved them, but for OPs situation, I'd recommend looking at the SenseRides from Salomon.  The lugs are smaller and more dense, also with a slightly shorter stack, which makes for  more comfortable light duty walking but still well suited for hiking and especially trail running.  I've completely switched to the senserides because I didn't feel like I needed the robustness of the SpeedCross.  Still a good suggestion though.  

The Salomon has the Contagrip All Terrain. This Contagrip seems that is really really bad. I have the Salomon Quest Elements with Contagrip Mud and is amazing how good the grip is on wet rocks of the rivers. The problem with Salomon is that they only say "Contagrip" and not the kind of Contagrip... And reviewers only say Contagrip. To check the model of Contagrip you have to go to their website and search the shoe and see the details of it.

I use Solomon trail runners, non-waterproof because my feet overheat easily in the summer. They've seen the presis in the summer without issues, and have decent grip.

I just ordered a pair from my local running store, only commenting to suggest you try them on first. I'm a 12 in Salomons and a 12 to 12.5 in Hokas, and I had to size up to a 13 in the 001s.

The best ones are the ones that fit!! I have wide toes and wore Solomon trail runners for a long time. I switched to Merrell Moab hikers a couple of years ago. Both are 13 Wide (EEE).

The downside of trail runners to me (Solomans) was I would sometimes get foot bruises on sharp rocky ground. I switched to hiking shoes (Merrell's) and I feel it's a better compromise between trail runners and boots. Pretty light and more comfortable.

My Solomans had a rock plate (thank you for pointing out my omission), but I feel a big difference with my Murrell Moab's. To each there own, I know trail runners are the favorite, the Moab works better for me (I have dainty feet, I guess).

What do you want to do? I love my Solomon trail runners but if I'm sliding down shale I'll take the Keens all day long. Both are good brands in my experience.

Over the years I’ve worn trail runners from Merrill and Salomon, or standard running shoes from Nike and NB. A comfortable fit was the main criteria. Even on wet ground I’d rather have fast drying sneakers than boots.

I like Oboz boots. I also like my Solomon trail runners. I've done massive days in both, totally depends what you are more comfortable in. I do personally find benefit in some ankle protection and waterproofness. Some folks poopoo that... but I bet they have wet feet.

Salomon trail runners. They’re my goat shoes - the only thing they don’t get a grip on is wet wood.

Absolutely, did all of the ABC trek in trail runners (Hoka, Salomon). You really appreciate the lightness of them.

I love my Salomon trail runners. I prefer them to my hiking boots and exclusively use them for hiking.

I'm a fan of Solomon hiking shoes (or really their trail runners) with Gore Tex and micro spikes! The spikes stay in my pack most of the year, just in case I go further than planned or I got unexpected conditions. A must have for me.

Current Salomon trail runners have to thick of a sole and cant feel rock well beneath them but I do agree that ideally trail runner style would be cool. maybe the ones I have just dont work well for this specific use case.
