This shoes, 9.5 was way too big, it almost seem too tall. I have worn Salomon SLAB sense shoes for many years and 9.5 is spot on for me even with thicker Injinji Ultra socks (perfect combo btw). The shoe feels comfortable but supportive.Ĭomments: Sizing if really off for me on this shoe. August 31st, 2021Ĭomments: The shoes seem a bit snug around the ankle when putting them on but that feeling quickly evaporates once you start your run. Can't wait to see what they do with the next generation!įrom: Steve. This shoe has been a game-changer for saving my feet over long distances. It's fine on wet surfaces or even deep mud at lower pitches. The grip is fantastic, but this is not your shoe mud on steep terrain (think 1,000' vert per mile in the rain). Salomon does state this in the product description. The same has happened with the Ultra 1 and 2 for me. After using it for about 200 miles (1-3 long runs), the Ultra 3 gave me about fifty miles of training before they wore down a bit too much for anything over single digits. This is the ultimate weapon for ultra races and long backcountry missions. when worn with above-the-ankle socks, I've found that I don't benefit from gaiters at all due to the snug upper. It's well-cushioned for late in a long run as you start to form, but doesn't have the ankle-rolling high stack of Hoka. It's a far tougher shoe than it looks and sufficiently protects toes and the side of feet against rock kicks. The range in how the shoe fits accommodate foot swelling over time-cinch everything tight to start, then gradually loosen as feet may swell after 50-80 miles. The Ultra 3 is purpose-built for long distances, and it excels at that beyond any other shoe I've used. I also trail run in other Salomon shoes, Inov-8, Hoka, and Nike for various applications/distances/terrain. Great tread, and low profile shoe.Ĭomments: I 'm on my second pair of these, and the fifth pair in the Ultra line. Still trying to get used to the lacing system, but I like how they feel after a couple of longer trail runs. PLEASE change the outsole for the next version!Ĭomments: I bought these in a size 6.5 women's and they were huge, so I exchanged them for women 6 and they fit great. Shoes with Vibram Megagrip, both durability and wet traction aren't an issue.īoth Sense Pro and Sense Ride these weren't a problem. I would be hesitant to take them out in anything but a sunny day, but trail running isn't all that predictable. This is something I shouldn't have to do and becomes an issue of safety. But on damp or wet rocks I haven't found they grip particularly well and I've found myself trying to avoid wet rocks, especially running downhill. Two runs should not have lugs starting to wear down. I would be shocked if these make it nearly that far. I used the Sense Pro 3 and even after 200 miles the lugs were solid. I would say 1/2 larger than other Salomon.īut after 15 miles can already see wear on the outsole lugs, which for a Salomon shoe is unheard of. I haven't had any issues with the ankle collar and have really liked not having to worry about debris. They might feel a little snug out of the box, but after a few miles that wasn't an issue. I have a wider than average foot and they open up well and I haven't had any issues. Loving this shoe running through White Mtns in NH.
