Sense Ride Series

Although the Salomon Sense Ride 4 has a special.place in my heart for being the shoe I used for my first 50k, the Norda 001 is by far my favorite shoe ever and the one I now go to 95% of the time...

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

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

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.

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.

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.
