Salomon Sense Ride 4 Trail Running Shoes
This updated version of the all-around SENSE RIDE is just as comfy and responsive with the soft Optivibe™ cushioning you love. The upper effortlessly optimizes your foothold, especially around the heel, and features really resistant, anti-debris mesh. You'll be ready to take off on new adventures, near and far.
Anti-Debris Mesh Upper
A welded, anti-debris mesh upper ensures the foot is encased in protection and comfort. The mesh construction is lightweight, yet protective and allows steady airflow to enter and exit the shoe, which works to remove moisture 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 mesh is also extremely durable and prevents debris from entering inside the shoe, so you can enjoy distraction-free strides. There is strategically placed protection, which adds durability and support to the, so you can have peace of mind when you're running on tough trails and harsh terrains. A Sensifit construction cradles the foot from the midfoot to the lacing system, and an EndoFit internal sleeve provides a precise and secure fit. 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 has utilised their unique Optivibe technology through the midsole of this shoe, 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 that equals the amount of cushioning that road running shoes possess. 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.
Contragrip MA Outsole
Providing an all-terrain grip, the outsole of the Sense Ride 4's have been constructed using Contragrip MA. The full rubber outsole provides premium traction on loose terrain, which ensures a solid bond between you, and the ground. The Contragrip outsole is built for the widest variety of surfaces, ensuring confidence on wet, dry, hard or loose surfaces, whilst still offering long-term durability so you can run further, and for longer, with complete confidence in the shoes you're wearing. The outsole also features multidirectional lugs, allowing you to dig deep into the ground when stopping or changing direction. Lastly, a Profeel Film exists to protect your feet from sharp objects and loose rocks on the trail.
