I have been happy with the shoe but wanted to try the Ride. Just got mine today from Running Warehouse (thanks for the coupon code.). I have a low volume foot so lasting seems good. I am surprised by the toe box height I am concerned that if it’s low now it will be problematic when my feet swell. Any thoughts?<br /><br />Best regards,<br />TomAnonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15842475491290985573noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10529476.post-70919557142405132542017-07-18T16:38:03.475-06:002017-07-18T16:38:03.475-06:00Hi Sam, Based in the UK and a lot of the races tha...Hi Sam, Based in the UK and a lot of the races that I have done have a mix of rocky paths, but perhaps more challenging are the stretches tussocky open moor which are hard to 'read' and often result in rolled ankles. For up to marathon distance the Inov8 X-Talons, the S-Lab Speeds or even the Sense SG all do well but I suspect that I need a bit more cushioning on ultras and up until now have used the Kigers. I think that Sense Ultra is going to be pretty good with the little bit of extra cushioning over the original Sense but a bit more control than the Kigers. I agree that the heel in the Kigers is better - as you say, I put this down to the better lacing and lower drop in the Kiger. I wish they hadn't chosen to make the sense ultra into high heels... I'll see how I get on with them over time - I may have to try some surgery to take some height out of the heel!The Stoathttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11810746631414671721noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10529476.post-29095027997534009422017-07-18T16:29:04.795-06:002017-07-18T16:29:04.795-06:00Thanks for the reply Sam!

I do some fairly technical trail running when I'm able to hit the trails, but mostly on the gravel roads around my house. I've tried both road and trail shoes and just about decided that I'd rather deals with lugs on pavement that endure another turf toe/stone bruise that no doubt was caused by running in road shoes on gravel. I have used the Rtr10 code and will continue to do so - I'm a huge fan of you guys' work.Chad Paynehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13417264293515151136noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10529476.post-10816856488621155112017-07-18T14:28:17.092-06:002017-07-18T14:28:17.092-06:00Hi The Stoat, Thanks for writing!
Where are your t...Hi The Stoat, Thanks for writing!<br />Where are your technical trails what kind of terrain?<br />Jeff did not run the Kiger 4 but I did. I said: "The roomiest forefoot of the bunch and most comfortable upper of the lot is on the Sense Ultra, followed by the Kiger 4 with its snug but fairly broad up front engineered Flymesh and no overlays. ". The Kiger is "wider" by your measurements is of denser, heavier, slightly less pliable mesh with more holes and has no overlays as the Sense Ultra has, the Kiger relying entirely on the double inner bootie and mesh for support at mid foot and to the front. I find the Sense Ultra to be roomier due to its lighter mesh and also what appears to be a bit more toe height volume due to its firmer higher very front toe bumper and midsole outsole which does not as abruptly rise to the toe. It is sublime up front. I have had no issues with rolling on technical terrain with the Kiger but I also don't push technical terrain very hard. I can see how one might slide off the midsole if pushed. This said I do find its rear of the foot support superior to the Sense Ultra, maybe due to the inclusion of the 2 Flywire cords and the lower drop this despite the rear being far more minimal and built up than the Sense Ultra's. I do think neither shoe is really intended for the most technical terrain and are more focused on speed and agility. Both are superb.<br />Sam, Editor<br />Sam Winebaumhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17969086391170473784noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10529476.post-6002271812041211002017-07-18T14:00:24.683-06:002017-07-18T14:00:24.683-06:00Jeff, on your comparison between the shoes at the ...Jeff, on your comparison between the shoes at the end you state that the roomiest upper in the forefoot is the sense ultra. Perhaps I misunderstood the the intended meaning here, but I have the terra kiger side by side with the sense ultra and the terra kiger is significantly wider. Probably 10mm on the sole and about 5mm in the upper (the kiger has more flare on the sole). My comparison is on a Size 9.5 US. I have found the kiger to be lacking in control in very technical terrain (sliding off the sole unit) but the sense ultra seems tighter offering better control in technical terrain. I just wish it was a more modest (4mm?) drop!The Stoathttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11810746631414671721noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10529476.post-61470866304971814902017-07-18T12:02:27.111-06:002017-07-18T12:02:27.111-06:00Hi Chad, Thanks for writing!

I am finding them superb on smoother UT single track, so comfortable. tested the S-Lab Wings here http://www.roadtrailrun.com/2015/11/review-salomon-s-lab-wings-well.html It is a snugger, firmer, stiffer and more protective shoe but all in all fairly close to the Sense Ride. My version of the 8 is earlier and maybe a bit firmer than what RW has on sale if memory servesThe Wings is best on the super technical and rocky trails. It's about the only trail shoe I would wear in the White Mountains of NH but is a bit much for smoother single track here in UT.

Where I have found the speedlace to be a real advantage though is with a shoe like the XA Alpine or the Saucony Razor Ice where it can be difficult to pull and tie laces with a built in gaiter in the way. You also do not need to tuck the speedlace anywhere, as it just lays anywhere under the zipped gaiter. I really wish the Crossover GTX had a speedlace.Jeff Vallierehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08106877622296558733noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10529476.post-13138418338297959512017-06-29T11:07:51.667-06:002017-06-29T11:07:51.667-06:00Tripp I agree.

Their speed laces clamp down over the garage pocket, kind of defeating the purpose of speed laces. You have to tinker with the tied lace to pull out the garage flap to let you tuck the slack from the lace into the garage. Seems like this could be designed better, and it would save me five seconds or more every time I lace up. And hey, that adds up over a lifetime of trail running.Tripp Knightlynoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10529476.post-76322923444775384372017-06-28T06:32:38.311-06:002017-06-28T06:32:38.311-06:00Hi Dan, Thanks for writing.

Pro 2 is 23mm heel/17 mm, 6mm drop while Sense Ride is 27/19, 8mm drop. Pro is 9.2 oz while Ride is 9.7. Ride has the Vibe insert while Pro 2 is just Energy Cell+. There are also differences in the outsole with the Ride having a fuller coverage of rubber, fewer windows through. My "sense" is that the Ride would be more cushioned and maybe a touch less agile but overall a more versatile shoe especially for longer runs on tougher terrain.<br />Sam.

Please let me know if you have any specific questions as to how the Sense Ride compares to any of the shoes we have tested.

Due to some time constraints this past week Jeff was not able to do his usual comparisons but as I am sure you saw he had some comparisons to the Sense Ultra and ProMax. When you say you are a "Mountain runner in the West" what do you mean by that? Single track, steep off trail, some combination? Do you like to bomb the downhills as Jeff does or take them moderately or slow as I do. I too run the the West, Wasatch and Park City but not at the time of this comparison. By and large most marked and built trails in the West or least the ones I have been on most in the Wasatch and Moab are mile for mile way less technical in terms of footing than even moderate single track style trails in New England such as my test loop which are full of roots and embedded rocks with far less smooth ground between than most Western trails . For my comparison and to really get at the differences and similarities I ran my 2.7 loop one shoe after the other over 2 days. My conclusion on the Ride compared to the other 3 was it had the least stable heel, due to firmness I think and the best overall forefoot combination of cushioning and trail feel.
