True to size!Īll agree that it’s true to size, and also that it’s the same sizing as Ride 2. Multiple reviewers liked the comfort also on longer runs. The consensus is that comfort is great, not superb. Half of them said that it felt airy and that it would be great for warm weather, and the other half said that its breathability was “somewhere in the middle.” Several said that it was quite a stiff shoe.Ĥ experts commented on the breathability of the shoe.

When experts comment like this, you know they’d prefer something less firm. Only 1 of the 10 experts said that the midsole was “soft” and 1 other said that it was firm but not harsh. The general theme of the ride is that it’s firm, one saying that it was “alarmingly firm.” However, 3 of 10 experts said that after some miles, it softened up, but to what degree?

One said that it “work for most kinds of trails at the most times.” You won’t feel stones underfoot, and the protection is definitely considered above average. However, for most runs, the underfoot protection will be sufficient - especially as the sole comes with a rock plate.

In terms of underfoot protection, one claimed that it could have had more “TPU for sharp rocks”, and another saying that it was more for the forest than the mountain. Comments were raining in saying it felt “highly protective,” that it would “handle just about any terrain” when it came to protecting your feet. Another summed up it well saying it was “not an aggressive trail shoe”. This is expected, as the shoe has only 4mm lugs which by one was considered to not shed well. Several experts who took it to wet conditions weren’t impressed. However, it seemed that these experts had tested only in dry conditions, where it excelled. Experts commenting “consistently sure footing”, and “plenty of grip” as well as “held strong on slippery leaves”. Looking at 23 comments from experts on traction, the Salomon Sense Ride 3 must be considered to have good traction. The Ride 3 is quite a different shoe, and hence the many negative comments on its weight. However, this one is 1oz heavier than the Ride 2, and people remember the Ride 2 as a decent race shoe. Generally, you want as much shoe as possible with as little weight as possible, and it seems that the 280 grams were too heavy for all experts.Ģ80 grams is lighter than the average trail shoe (314 grams). It rarely happens, but all the experts mentioned the same gripe.

One mentioned a wider midfoot, but it was not confirmed by other experts.

Wider forefoot than most Salomon trail running shoes.

One says that it has less cushioning “contrary to what Salomon states.”

Most say it’s more cushioned calling its cushioning generous and softer, but others disagree.

One comment sums it up pretty well: “ lost what made them attractive.” However, the changes have pros and cons. Usually, experts are generous with their comments on all the amazing changes, but we were only able to find one positive (overall) comment stating that the “Sense Ride 3 has me hooked once again.” It’s my impression that the experts don’t like the overhauls. If you liked the Ride 2, I recommend you buy that version again as opposed to buying the Ride 3. The consensus is that there have been huge changes from v2 to v3. Sense Ride 3 vs Ride 2 - experts prefer the old The most famous Salomon's shoe for trail races (and its latest version) is Salomon Speedcross 6.
