Salomon S-LAB Sense 6

The claim used by the French company to define the new Salomon S/LAB Sense 6 is a statement of intent: "The right amount of protection, without adding unnecessary weight". So the first detail to highlight of these trail running shoes is that they are an ultralight model. No more and no less than a meager 220 grams, which makes us talk about a specific model for competition and for fast mountain running.

The Salomon S/LAB Sense 6 are designed by and for athletes seeking maximum performance in every race. And that's why Salomon has been committed to bring to light a model for mountain running with the best performance, including its most advanced technologies and materials.

Although the recognized and the "champion of everything" there is, and to be, Kilian Jornet wore this S/LAB Sense 6 in his adventures and misadventures in ultras distances, this model of the brand of Annecy is more focused as a flying shoe for rather short distances. And as we say, the best thing about these Salomon S/LAB Sense 6 is that they have been developed from the experiences of the runners themselves to make, let's say, an a la carte model.

Salomon S/LAB Sense 6, its strengths

• Natural fit

Salomon designers have opted to eliminate unnecessary elements. In this sense, the Salomon S/LAB Sense 6 includes EndoFit technology, which acts as a second skin, and which translates into an optimal and precise fit, in addition to offering a greater degree of breathability.

In terms of fit, special mention should also be made of the characteristic Quicklace system, a minimalist lacing system that can be tied with a single pull. On the other hand, the SensiFit system, which is capable of wrapping the foot from the midsole to the laces, generates a more secure and personalized fit, as well as increasing comfort.

• Safety and protection

In terms of safety, the Salomon S/LAB Sense 6 brings with it the exclusive Profeel plate. A resource through which the transition is favored, as well as improves the impulse phase.

• Suitable for hard surfaces

The inclusion of the Premium Wet Traction Contragrip system in the outsole makes the model suitable for running on any type of terrain, including hard surfaces.

We cannot close the chapter on the strengths of the Salomon S/LAB Sense 6 without mentioning its great cushioning capacity. This is where the EnergyCell+ and dual density compressed EVA technologies come into play, and thanks to which the cushioning of this trail running shoe is more than guaranteed.

• The EnergyCell+ compound promotes greater energy return, offering more cushioning and also more durability.

• While the molded EVA also contributes to making every step feel more cushioned.

LowDrop of 4 millimeters (18mm heel / 14mm forefoot), and the ultra-light weight of 220 grams, the Salomon S/LAB Sense 6 has been designed to run fast on not very technical terrain, and rather on hard and dry surface, providing reactivity and lightness. Trail running shoe very dynamic and with an attractive design, and even aggressive touch.
