I like the Pulsar 3. Its one of mye favourite shoes. I would advice you to try it on before buying. Those shoes wont fit a lot of people.
Since automod removed my comment ill post it again: The S/lab Pulsar 3 was my favourite shoe for shorter distances last year. Its a great shoe but durability is a bit bad and its quite narrow (like the speedcross is). Grip on techy stuff is excellent but sketchy on very muddy stuff. Same goes for the S/lab Genesis. The Pulsars are really cheap nowadays as well which is nice. Something that does stick on mud of the shoes i ran last year was the Tomir 2.0 and Vj Maxx 2. The Tomir is a proper allrounder but takes some breaking in. The Maxx 2 is also a great option for techy and slippery stuff.
Pulsar is the best shoes i ever try (for short trail) so much pleasure and feelings
Same. Great shoes and durable, but Salomon tore me up.
Best is dependent on the person and the terrain. I absolutely love the Salmomon Pulsar 3 for technical and steep trail and the Saucony Endorphin Edge for non-technical and well packed trails
I would consider the Glde or the Pulsar a more similar fit/run to the Ride than the Genesis.
Salomon s-lab pulsar is a good one for mellow flowy trails, and the Nnormal Kjerags are great if it's a little more technical, they're not quite as light or springy.
Nike Ultrafly have been awesome for me on faster, more runnable trails, even though they’re a bit on the heavy side. If you’re okay with a bit less stack, the Salomon S/Lab Pulsar is unbelievably light and only wants to go hard.
Mam ultra lehké trailove běžecké boty od Salomonu, mela jsem je i v Alpách na relativně těžký terén a neměnila bych. Je pravda, ze na delší a těžší pochody by se v pořádných horách pohorky hodily, ale v Česku je to zbytečný overkill.
