Salomon Pulsar

Salomon Pulsar review: what runners say

Fit

Narrow and snug fit, typical Salomon: go half a size up for wide feet or a high instep. Once moving, the midfoot is well locked in and the heel is stable.

Feel

Direct, ground-contact ride with some softness at the heel but noticeable firmness in the forefoot. Not bouncy: the priority is control and precision, not energy return.

Durability

Contagrip outsole rated positively for long-term durability; one source suggests the construction should hold up for at least two race seasons. Exact mileage not quantified by sources.

Best for

Fast, short trail runs, races up to 50K, compact mixed terrain. Not ideal for ultras or heavier runners seeking extended cushioning.

Weak points

Getting the shoe on is awkward due to the quick-lace system and tongue. Grip reported as subpar in deep mud by some runners.
