Salomon Sense Ride 3 GORE-TEX Invisible Fit Trail Running Shoes

Ideal for long runs in adverse conditions, the SENSE RIDE 3 GORE-TEX INVISIBLE FIT integrates the GORE-TEX membrane into the outer material for a comfy mesh-like feel. Drawing on road-running standards to enhance the overall ride, the shoe is packed with trail-specific features like anti-debris mesh and a ground filter and grippy Contagrip outsole.

Breathable Mesh Upper

Allowing your feet to feel fresh and stay cool, the Salomon Sense Ride 3 GORE-TEX Trail Running Shoes have been constructed using a single layer mesh. The mesh is extremely breathable and allows a steady airflow to enter and exit the shoe, which will work to remove moisture from sweat out of the shoe. Once sweat is removed, the material will dry off quickly, and cooler air will replace it to keep you feeling comfortable. The material on the upper of the shoe is lightweight, which helps keep the overall weight of the shoe down to a minimum. This will allow you to push on and go faster, as you will have less to weigh you down. Sometimes it's hard to stay dry without developing that distracting clammy feeling, but GORE-TEX keeps water on the outside while letting perspiration escape from the inside; keeping sweat to a minimum and you, cool and comfy. By perfectly matching the GORE-TEX membrane to the footwear upper material, wrinkles and folds are eliminated, reducing pressure points and creating a true-to-size forefoot area. Reduced weight, less water pick-up and faster drying times are among the other benefits of this running shoe technology. A Sensifit system cradles the foot providing a precise and secure fit whilst the endofit system is designed to hug the foot in exactly the right places to improve feedback and foot wrapping. Completing the upper is a Quick Lacing System which provides a minimalistic and strong lace for a one-pull tightening ensuring you get the shoes on and off with minimal effort. A lace pocket is useful as it allows the laces to be stowed away making sure the laces do not get caught or snagged on any sticks or bushes out on the trail, reducing distractions.

Optivibe Midsole

Salomon have used their unique Optivibe technology in the midsole to ensure an ultra-smooth ride and long-lasting comfort. By taking inspiration from comfortable road running shoes Salomon decided to create a trail running shoe to equal the amount cushioning that road running shoes posses. The extra cushioning provides a more comfortable ride, especially when striking down on hard, unforgiving surfaces but, it also works to provide vibration-reduction and decoupling which are ideal when running off the beaten path. The Optivibe midsole has been constructed using a combination of foams which work to dampen shocks and propel you forward as you run. This works to reduce vibration upon footstrike and reduce muscle fatigue without affecting the overall ride. So you can go further for longer in complete comfort. The midsole also features a moulded orthoLite which provides additional comfort whilst also ensuring effective moisture management and increased breathability to keep your shoes fresher for longer.

Contagrip MA Outsole

Ensuring all-terrain grip, the outsole of the Salomon Sense Ride 3 has been constructed using Contagrip MA. The full rubber outsole provides premium traction on loose terrain ensuring a solid bond between you and the ground. The Contagrip outsole is built for the widest variety of surfaces; it ensures confidence on wet, dry, hard or loose surfaces whilst still offering long-term durability so you can go further for longer with complete confidence in your footwear. As well as this, the outsole also features multidirectional lugs which dig deep into the ground when braking or changing direction. The deep lugs are able to anchor the foot into wet and muddy ground, securing you into place whilst also forming a solid base to push off from. Lastly, a Propfeel Film exists to protect your feet from sharp object and loose rocks on the trail.
