Salomon Sense Pro

These babies are light and fast. So much so that they really blend the line with a traditional road racing flat: just enough trail running features are in place on this model to keep you protected while really emphasizing speed. The Sense Pro 3 is not advised for the rockiest terrain but, rather, those courses that are somewhat smoother. The midsole EnergyCell+ cushioning here is thinner than in other models, providing less cushioning and a distinctly firmer support. The mesh upper is lightweight with the brand’s Profeel Film providing a thin protective layer against rocks and debris. As the Sense line of shoes promote a runners natural gait, the shoe has a minimal 4mm drop, which also emphasizes speed through rapid turnovers. The Contagrip outsole here is also noticeably thinner, though the soft rubber lugs still provide good grip on looser ground. If you’re light, fast, and can scramble over smoother terrain like a mountain lion, the Sense Pro 3 will get you across the finish line in record time.
