Salomon Sense Ride 5

Salomon Sense Ride 5 review: what runners say

Fit

Narrow fit: multiple sources flag the shoe as narrow, with a recommendation to size up half a size for wide or medium-wide feet. True to size for narrow or medium feet.

Feel

Firm ride with good ground feel thanks to the modest stack. Cushioning falls in the 'trail plush' range: works well on soft and uneven terrain, not on hard-packed surfaces or asphalt.

Durability

50 miles tested with no appreciable degradation to lugs or upper. Synthetic materials and Contagrip place durability at category average; no signs of premature wear.

Best for

Trail from daily use to moderate technical terrain, muddy conditions, and steep descents. Suited to sustained paces on mixed surfaces. Not recommended for ultra distances, highly technical routes, or mixed asphalt-trail use.

Weak points

Narrow toe box: excludes wide-footed runners with no wide option available. The quick-lace system, praised for lockdown, can slip out of the garage pocket and snag.
