For the Salomon brand, every runner is familiar. On every marathon track, you can spot the eye-catching little red shoes with the big 'S' logo, as well as the clothing, running shoes, hats, and backpacks of the participants on the trail. I am honored to have the opportunity to review the SALOMON SENSE RIDE. As part of the ultra-long-distance trail running shoe series, its mission is to help trail runners tap into their potential, break limits, and easily enjoy the race on complex and variable tracks.
This is my first time testing trail running shoes. Below, I will introduce the shoes themselves and the actual test, focusing on the wrapping and cushioning experience.
Opening the shoebox, a fiery red color catches the eye, giving a feeling of restlessness and passion. The shoes are filled with traditional absorbent paper balls. They don't feel heavy in hand (official weight 275g). The fiery red exterior with thin black laces makes them vibrant and unstoppable, igniting a burning heart in every runner.
Upper:
The upper combines breathable mesh and film overlay technology, with a high-elastic inner lining that accurately fits the foot. The upper is thin and relatively soft, which does not affect the breathability of the shoes and enhances the support function of the upper, providing a higher degree of fit and comfortable foot feel.
Toe Cap:
The toe cap is upturned, suitably supporting the arch. The large 'S' on the front of the toe cap highlights the identity, simple yet aesthetically pleasing, showcasing the brand's logo vividly. The anti-collision toe cap not only effectively alleviates foot impacts but also protects the toes, preventing injuries and providing multiple protections for the toes.
Laces:
The laces use QuickLace technology, allowing runners to quickly tighten and loosen them. By holding the 'S' ring at the top and pulling up, the laces can be instantly tightened. The tongue also has a specially designed small pocket to store the QuickLace buckle, preventing accidents caused by excess laces.
Insole:
Lightweight, good resilience, heat dissipation, sweat-wicking, anti-slip, keeping the foot breathable and dry for a long time. Designed to fit the foot contour, comfortable to wear. The back of the insole has streamlined anti-slip lines, effectively increasing friction.
Outsole:
The outsole uses advanced block-style zonal arrangement, providing good traction for runners. The transition part between the forefoot and heel uses 3D PROFEEL FILM technology, which is wear-resistant and anti-slip, ensuring reliable grip during fast running. This design makes the sole flexible, adaptable to various terrains.
Midsole:
The midsole uses Salomon's unique Vibe cushioning technology, combining lightweight ENERGY CELL+ and OPAL material technology to maximize cushioning and rebound, reducing fatigue caused by vibrations, making steps lighter and more powerful.
Wrapping:
The first feeling when putting on the new shoes is that the wrapping is very good, fitting well, and the shoes and feet are highly integrated. The high-elastic inner lining of the shoes accurately fits the foot. The shoe opening completely wraps around the lower ankle, effectively preventing heel friction and providing 100% protection for the ankle.
Support:
The high-elastic inner lining of the shoes accurately fits the foot, providing support for the upper. The outsole and midsole use unique technology to maximize cushioning and rebound, suitable for complex and variable terrains, effectively reducing avoidable foot injuries.
Actual Test Video Sharing:
The fiery red appearance of the SALOMON SENSE RIDE, with a quick-release lace storage system, and the large 'S' on the toe cap and tongue highlight its identity, making it cool and stylish. The shoe opening is soft and comfortable, with strong wrapping and fixation. The outsole uses advanced block-style zonal arrangement, anti-slip and wear-resistant, with a strong foot feel and support. The midsole has excellent cushioning. It is a good running shoe worth choosing, meeting the needs of runners on complex and variable terrains.
