Our test team was less impressed with the Profeel Film’s ability to protect them from underfoot protrusions when running on sharp, rocky terrain. Test team members appreciated the level of cushioning for the trails one observed that, after spending a few hours out on the trails, the “ample amount of cushioning would help fight off fatigue.” Another praised the balance of cushioning and feel: “The 4 seems to provide a bit more proprioceptive ground feel than the 3, while maintaining a similar level of cushioning comfort.” The shoe also continues the Optivibe midsole design, which combines different foams to both enliven the Ride’s ride and absorb impact and vibration with an eye toward decreasing muscle enervation and fatigue. It was nice to confidently stride through less than ideal trail conditions.” Photo: 101 Degrees West “I liked how excellent the grip was! I used them on a rolling, rocky trail after we got a bunch of snow and the trails were super slick and muddy. “These were A-level traction,” said one tester. It’s the ideal travel shoe, for a trip when you’ll be running and hiking, walking on streets and sidewalks, or tackling singletrack and mountain passes - as the shoe dances the fine line between protection and feel for the trail.Īs with the Sense Ride 3, the 4 uses Salomon’s Contragrip MA outsole for dependable grip on wet and dry surfaces without compromising the rubber compound’s durability. It is a cross-over that is comfortable on the road, but even more at home off road. Limited shoe storage space? This multi-surface, responsive door-to-trail shoe allows you to skimp by taking the place of a footwear quiver. You want one shoe to do it all, allowing a responsive feel while still providing adequate protection - for whatever surfaces you choose to run on. It is a tad lighter and feels a little more svelte in places for some, while other testers thought it ran too big. Salomon kept most of the shoe the same between the Sense Ride 3 and 4, with minor changes seen and felt in the upper, which has new overlays, cosmetics, and additional padding in the heel counter. Inclusivity comes to a shoe that invites surface diversity.
