Love how you took it out on absolutely filthy trails and trashed it up 😂😂. Great review! I'll have to keep it in mind when I need my next trail shoe 👍👍
thanks for the support. usually, people are generally unhappy with my trail shoe reviews. either it's not enough vert, not enough scrambling, not enough water crossings...
@@kofuzi since you don't run trails a ton it's good to have a review from you. I've run in 3 versions of the sense ride and wasn't sure if I'd go back to them again but that review helped me see that they have made some better changes. And I do like pacing system of Salomon shoes so... Keep up the good work👍👍😁😁
So excited to see this review! I primarily trail run and my staples are the Salomon Sense Ride 4 and Mizuno Wave Horizon 5. Not sure about the Sense Ride 5 but the 4 has this thin padding on either side of the heel that prevents heel slippage, while maintaining a wide(r) toe box. Sounds like I need to check out the Aero Glide too
Just purchased the sense ride 5 Gore-tex in carbon blue colour. They look so fresh. Can't wait to hit the road with these (then eventually trails) :P I hope the Gore-tex will be just as comfty as the normal ones.
Thanks for the review! I started trail running with a group last summer and I am beginning the research phase for my next trail running shoe purchase once I'm done with this marathon training block.
Had the exact same Sense Ride 3 and now the exact same Sense Ride 5 colours. Then bought the Sense Ride 4 Goretex. All are very well built and the sizing fits me very well. They're not very bouncy, so it comes down to building up your running form correctly. Added a pair of Saucony Endorphin Edge for interval work and maybe races next year, but they have a huge toe box (had same size Saucony before and they were perfect). Also the build quality seems worse than Salomon Sense Ride. Overall, I'd get last year's Salomon Sense Ride for the regular training runs and they'll last you for a long time.
Рік тому+1
Does the Sense ride 5 still have that spongy water absorbing ortholite insole?
The lace garage "idea" is great but the execution is not. They put the laces right across the top of the garage thus hindering the access. Anybody have any tips on easing this process?
Appreciate the testing in mud. Here in the Midwest we have Dec-Apr cold muddy conditions. Wondering why brands aren’t making more winter waterproof trail shoes? For my weekly 10k trail runs in cold wet weather, I really would rather avoid muddy water in my shoes, even if it does drain out. Am I alone in wanting more Gore Tex - Waterproof winter trail shoe options? I don’t see any options from my fav brands Asics, New Balance or Altra. Just bought my first Saucony: Perigrine13GTX but nervous they’re too narrow. Salomon shoes are great, generally too high of a drop for me (knee issue). Hoka Challenger not mud lug aggressive enough (just like you pointed out)
I love my saucony xodus ultra runshield version. Ticks all the boxes you mention. I live in cold wet climate for 6 months of year , used to dealing with wet cold muddy trails nov through April . These appear to be on sale now as well :-)
Because your feet will get wet via your lower legs, ankles and socks. If you really want waterproof, you’re better off with waterproof socks and taping them to the lower legs.
I just tried these shoes on at the store and I didn't like it immediately. I didn't like the lack of softness in the forefoot-I'm running a duo trail/road 50k and I knew it would not give me a a smooth comfortable ride. I went over and tried the Hoka Techton x2 and oh boy-it was awesome and it was awesome this morning on my 22k trail run!
This is a joke, right ? Wet grip of Contragrip is average, I had quite some different Salomons (Sense Mantra 2, Sense Ride 1/3, Ultraglide, Speedcross 3, Pulsar Trail, Sense Pro Max, etc ) and not 1 of them was anything special in wet rock, stones...by the way, this is Common Sense in Germany
No it aint, i run in Contagrip, Asics grip, Nike s useless shit, La Sportiva, Continental there s a lot of great rubber out there, not to mention Vibram :)))).
I’ve had the best experience with Salomon trail shoes until..Saucony came out with the Ride 15 TR. That shoe can do it all while keeping the feet happy
Got 800K on my Sense Ride 3 and looking to change them. Kinda surprised you're telling that they're good for hard and short run since I like them on long slow non technical trail.
Salomon always advertises the Sense Ride as a road to trail shoe, but that’s not how I think of it at all. If you’re looking for a Salomon road to trail option, I’m loving the Glide Max TR. maybe also the Thundercross, if the trail you’re running to is a bit gnarly.
It’s a trail shoe. I think Salomon likes to think of this as a road to trail shoe, and it doesn’t have terrible road manners, but I prefer it on messy stuff.
Best for messy runs ? No, this is a she for light trails, not more, not less...closer to Sense Ride 1 than SR3, the SR3 was quite good on more technical (when more dry)
@@kofuzi No, german all weather runner...for real muddy runs you need of course a specialist (Inov-8 Mudclaw, X-Talon...), but the Contragrip seems to work much better in USA, as over here it's common sense that wet grip is soso...
@@kofuzi I got the same colour coming on Thursday and feel the same. Can’t wait to get them dirty and review them as well. Great work as always, Michael. Cheers from Calgary 👍
Great review. Since Pulsar in 2020 (same foam in Ultraglide and many recent models), Salomon has nailed it and I keep going back for their BOA.
I'd take boa over lace garage any day

Looking forward to get a pair after having tested all the previous versions. Sense Ride is one of the best trails shoes I've had. Can´t wait!
hope you have fun in them!
Bought a pair yesterday. 10 miles in so far #obsessed
Glad you’re enjoying them!
The quick laces and pocket - the one thing I’m always missing from non-Salomon shoes.
I'd rather pay a bit extra and have a Boa system if I'm going to go with this style of lace
Just purchased the sense ride 5 Gore-tex in carbon blue colour. They look so fresh. Can't wait to hit the road with these (then eventually trails) :P
I hope the Gore-tex will be just as comfty as the normal ones.

Looked like you were having a blast out there! #fullsend Great review!
Love my sense ride 4's but I mostly just use them for hiking and more technical trail running
Ohhhh you would love to come taking it on some of our technical trails here in Northern New Hampshire.

What’s your recco for a comfortable trail to road shoe? (I’m a wide foot guy to further complicate things)
Awesome to see a solid trail shoe review! I loved my sense ride 2s, not sure if the 5 is a step back to what made this shoe so good.
ASMR with the squishy mud.

Interesting @Lef, maybe I should research waterproof socks specifically for these mud runs… Thanks for the tip
I love goretex trail shoes in the winter

glad to hear you found something that works for you!
Waking up to a Kofuzi Salomon review. Suck it Monday!
So much different splashing vídeo from the lakefront ones 🙈😆😆. 🙌🏼🙌🏼🙌🏼 mud running 👍🏼
run what you got
best rubber in the game 🙌

Wonder how this now compares to the Thundercross...?
I like the Puma Voyage Nitro for more versatility.
Were those muddy single Tracs in mchenry county? I’m looking for some fun trails to run on.
yes. sterns fen.
I am waiting for your Asics Trabuco Max 2 review video .Thanks!
Soon. Taking them up for some trail running in Boulder. Then I’ll be ready to finish the video.
Yeah-uh guitar riffs. 🤘
Got 800K on my Sense Ride 3 and looking to change them. Kinda surprised you're telling that they're good for hard and short run since I like them on long slow non technical trail.
perhaps it is because you have run 800 kilometers in those shoes
Aero glide please
Wednesday
I love how you show how dirty they get hahaha
What’s your favourite Rosa’s to trail shoe ? I been looking at the sense ride has a option
More trail than road is must say *
Salomon always advertises the Sense Ride as a road to trail shoe, but that’s not how I think of it at all.
If you’re looking for a Salomon road to trail option, I’m loving the Glide Max TR. maybe also the Thundercross, if the trail you’re running to is a bit gnarly.
@@kofuzi It’s hard because I don’t want loads of cushion and height has I want to do ultra races in them also . So many choices out there it’s insane
sense ride 5 is a GREAT road to trail shoe option, unless you're a road runner that has forgotten how to run without a max cushion shoe
What would you recommend for a road to trail shoe?
Altra Superior, Altra Lone Peak, Hoka Torrent, Nike Peg Trail
@@kofuzi I would definately recommend sense ride 5 much more than superior 6 as a road to trail shoe. I have both and like them both.
Bro you're awesome
you are too kind
Hey i get new idea and get new shoes too
Plz review adidas terrex jawpaw heat rdy and VIVA BAREFOOT trekking shoes with mechelin tyre grip shoes
Those laces ugh
Yeahh.. that's make sense to ride
Mantul om
Accidentally had the video playing 1.5x. Though i was watching a commercial.
usually, people don't come up with pretext to complain that my videos confuse them for a commercial
@@kofuzi I didn't mean it as a complaint or more of in a humorous manner, but as always love your content.
how the hell you wash them? :)
I don’t wash mine
@@kofuzi so u just use them dirty?
Definitely for trail not asphalt or concrete
It’s a trail shoe. I think Salomon likes to think of this as a road to trail shoe, and it doesn’t have terrible road manners, but I prefer it on messy stuff.

I'm going to guess by the username and by the knifey spooney comment that you're a British mud runner
@@kofuzi No, german all weather runner...for real muddy runs you need of course a specialist (Inov-8 Mudclaw, X-Talon...), but the Contragrip seems to work much better in USA, as over here it's common sense that wet grip is soso...
This is a summer trail colourway. Hurt my eyes seeing it splashed in the mud.
you don't buy a blank canvas to hang it on the wall unpainted
@@kofuzi I got the same colour coming on Thursday and feel the same. Can’t wait to get them dirty and review them as well. Great work as always, Michael. Cheers from Calgary 👍
Cool shoes 👌
