My only issues with the shoe were that they could feel a little loose when running fast down hill. Which was better than I expected at taking on minor impacts. I was also a fan of the toe protection on the shoe. Enough to take a lot of the shock from trail running, without feeling like you have pillows under your feet. For cushion the Sense Ride offers a medium amount of firm cushion. And the upper build fits well without feeling tight. On the feet the Salomon Sense Ride feels comfortable in width without feeling wide. Something that is noticeable as soon as you pull them out of the box and especially when you put them on. The Sense Ride are also noticeably lighter in weight than the Speedcross. They have an aggressive look without feeling too much like they were designed for a muddy trail run. ![]() ![]() With a 4 mm lug and light foot protection around the shoe.

I do question if I would get my typical 250-300 miles out of these. Lastly, I tested them for 50 miles and the soles already showed a significant amount of wear. I think adding back in some ankle support would help a lot. On the downside I’d say that overall the sizing is a bit sloppy and loose. And I had no problem staying locked in while running. The grip may be some of the best I’ve ever tried in trail shoes. Overall I enjoyed running in the Speedcross. This lack of ankle support can lead to some lateral roll while running or making cuts on the trails. For the stack + lug height, the shoes are tall. Next was the lack of ankle support and padding. So for me, I wouldn’t recommend going up in size unless you have really wide feet. In fact I would say that overall the entire shoe runs large.

The Speedcross also has a higher stack height at 35 mm.Compared to an 8 mm drop on the Sense Ride.

Both Shoes feature the Salomon “standard” foot shape.Weighing 290 grams, compared to the Speedcross at 320 grams. The Salomon Sense Ride is the lighter of the two trail running shoes.A good choice for most all runners, unless you need a support/corrective running shoe.
