The second road running option on our list is Salomon’s contribution to stability shoes but the Predict RA approaches stability differently than other brands. Rather than utilizing dense foams and stiff guidance mechanisms, the Predict RA uses smaller adaptive tweaks to create a stability shoe that guides you towards your most beneficial stride, not a standardized ideal. The EnergyCell+ midsole cushioning is etched with grooves that correspond to the joints and anatomy of your foot, helping to guide your stride forward, as opposed to pronating to either side, and creating a firmer feel that settles in comfortably as you run. Similarly, the Contagrip outsole has an advanced version of the brand’s Geometric Decoupling design, with multiple lines and grooves that mirror those in the midsole to further channel your personal gait forward. The upper is also in sync with these mechanisms by utilizing the brand’s 360 Degree Articulated Fit, which is a thickly-molded fabric heel as opposed to a heel counter, to provide guidance and compliment the more flexible mesh of the rest of the upper. Standard laces complete the package to create a road running stability shoe that can rival any Asics or New Balance model out there.
