The Challenger can also cross over to roads similar to Pro Max but softer while Speedgoat is soft but with a more trail specific outsole. Reviews of both a link below. <br /><br />Sam, Editor <br />Thanks for reading Road Trail Run!

The cushioning absorbs the impact. Part of this can also be attributed to the ProFeelFilm rock plate.<br /><br />I was very happy with the performance of the outsole in all conditions. It does a great job of maintaining grip. The wet traction contra grip outsole performed very well in wet conditions on rocky terrain.<br /><br />Overall I found the ride of the Sense Pro Max to provide an acceptable amount of comfort about 75% of the time. I like that is rebounds well, and I like the feel of the dense cushioning when running downhills on the trail.<br /><br />I found that for most runs the cushioning was sufficient but I would have appreciated a little more softness. I have seen this shoe marketed as a road/trail shoe but I would suggest sticking to the trails.<br /><br />I did not like the ride and feel of the midsole when running roads. I also found myself desiring a softer feel when running on flatter terrain. I had a consistent knee pain in both legs after running in the shoe for a few hours.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10529476.post-75905306021033489892018-03-05T06:58:47.581-07:002018-03-05T06:58:47.581-07:00How does the cushioning compare to the Brooke Adre...How does the cushioning compare to the Brooke Adrenaline GTS 18?

The Ride is an amazing shoe IMHO, it essentially an S Lab quality/full featured shoe for 2/3 the price.

I got a pair of these back in Jan and have been putting a few miles on them as well as a few other pair of shoes. <br />Here's my thoughts:<br />- My normal size 8 seems about a 1/4 size bigger than "true to size"<br />- The speedlace and garage has created a sore spot on the top of my foot which required some getting used to<br />- Cushioning is great and makes long runs a pleasure<br />- Traction is fantastic and tread wear seems better than past Salomon models<br />- Roomier toebox than any other Salomon I've ever worn. <br />- Durability is also really good. <br /><br />I could easily see these being a good 100 mile shoe if they are properly broken in and you don't have issues with the speedlace causing soreness on the top of your foot. These wouldn't be my first choice for a 25k or shorter race on technical terrain though. They're not the most nimble shoe I've ever worn, but they do make a really good door-to-trail shoe.<br />Hope this helps.<br />Breeves2000https://www.blogger.com/profile/08452785926355236002noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10529476.post-37742062060045811182017-04-10T13:03:36.227-06:002017-04-10T13:03:36.227-06:00Hey Joel, tough call.

The Pro Max has better cushion for the longer distances, but if you have been OK with the Sense Pro 2, at least from a cushioning standpoint, I think you would would find the SLab Ultra to be a lateral, or even better cushioned alternative. I found the upper on the SLab Ultra to be much more comfortable out of the box, in fact, when testing, I never even thought about it, if only to recognize it's utmost comfort and security at any speed. With the Pro Max, even though the upper breaks in, I am quite often aware, that I need to snug the laces more to hold them on my feet better in tech terrain, or thinking I need to back off the snugness because I over compensated with the pressure and now I can feel the lace eyelets through the thin tongue.<br />Jeff Vallierehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08106877622296558733noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10529476.post-55370790725613512802017-04-10T12:31:09.820-06:002017-04-10T12:31:09.820-06:00I've been eagerly waiting for this review.

I've been running in the Sense Pro 2 for years and have the same lacing issue putting pressure on the top of my feet because I really have to cinch the laces. The Ultra doesn't appear to have that problem since the laces are wider. Joelhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00176295383101403940noreply@blogger.com
