Salomon sense ride 4 review6/9/2023 ![]() I regroup with friends back at the Marathon du Mont Blanc finish line where we scurry south across the ridge from Le Brévent. The system is lock-solid and doesn’t budge even after a full day on the trail. The foot is secured under Salomon’s iconic Quicklace system pull it, tuck it, and forget it. The inner sock wraps up over the collar, which sufficiently protects the ankles without rubbing on either the heel or ankle bones. ![]() Complete with the robust Ortholite insert, the shoe comfortably engages the foot, removing any hint of hotspots. Inside the shoe, an inner sock-like layer comfortably cradles the heel, while the stretchy tongue wraps upwards from the footbed, up over your foot. A thin rubber rand overlays this and wraps around the front of the shoe, forming a minimal exoskeleton for support and durability without compromising too much breathability. The Sense Ride has a roomy toe-box, with slightly more volume over the toes than other models from the brand. I spent the morning exploring the new kicks. With less focus on pure race, and a bias towards play, Salomon pitches the Sense Ride as a shoe that will serve the majority of a trail runner’s needs. I traveled to Chamonix with Salomon to get a taste of the brand’s direction in 2017. Review: Salomon Sense Ride Trail-Running Shoe It’s an ideal place to test Salomon’s forthcoming Sense Ride. It’s no wonder that it’s ground zero for the modern trail runner. Steeper than the Rockies, taller than the Cascades, these mountains are big, bold, and rich. I’m in Chamonix, France, the prototypical mountain town. Thundering out of the clouds below is the bravado of the race announcer calling the play-by-play of the Marathon du Mont Blanc. An occasional slash of red and white paint confirm I’m on the right path. With a thick mist shrouding the slopes, my feet punch the rocky staircase spiraling up into a void. The Salomon Sense Ride borrows specs from the elite S-Lab line for a familiar shoe that meets most trail running needs but doesn’t break the bank.
