Salomon Sonic 5 Confidence

Seeking to position itself on asphalt terrain, Salomon has been betting heavily on its Sonic family of Running shoes, with different options for runners of all types and conditions with its Accelerate, Balance and Confidence lines. Thus, the evolution of the Salomon Sonic 5 Confidence is one of the most important renovations of the French brand in order to offer a very comfortable silhouette to the runner for each of their daily training on the road.

If you are looking for technological revolution you will not find them, but that does not mean that the Salomon Sonic 5 Confidence reach the market with an improved version of what has been seen in their predecessor models. Although it is true that it is not easy to distinguish the differences between the Balance and Confidence series, the latter is presented as the most cushioned and comfortable running shoe from Salomon to add kilometers on the asphalt.

New features of the Salomon Sonic 5 Confidence

In the technological aspect these Salomon Sonic 5 Confidence keep the same keys that we have already seen in its previous version of the Salomon Sonic 4 Confidence. That is, the latest technologies of the French brand from Annecy, such as Opti-vibe in the midsole; SensiFit in the upper; and Contagrip TA in the outsole.

The Opti-Vibe system allows for the construction of a more efficient midsole, since it favors the combination of cushioning and energy return. The shock absorption capacity is greater, but also significantly increases the model's responsiveness.

As we have said, the upper of these Salomon Sonic 5 Confidence still maintains the exclusive SensiFit system and the 3D mesh, a trademark of the company. But it is true that the technical mesh of the upper has been renewed with a softer fabric, which wraps the foot better. Something that translates into a better fit, more breathability and a friendlier feel, which favors the high degree of comfort of this silhouette. It should also be noted that these Sonic 5 Confidence reduce the number of overlays, only present in strategic points of the shoe to gain more support and lightness.

It is also non-negotiable that the outsole of these renewed Salomon Sonic 5 Confidence does not resort to the multiple advantages provided by Salomons exclusive Contagrip TA rubber outsole. A technological resource that promotes traction and grip, even on wet surfaces. It is also a compound that contributes to prolonging the life of the shoe.

Nor does it seem that in the technical specifications section, these Salomon Sonic 5 Confidence present many changes with respect to its previous version, so the drop will remain at the standard 10 millimeters. Perhaps, and with these improvements in the upper of the shoe, the model is removed from above a few grams, which makes these Salomon have a lighter and more efficient behavior in the race, but always maximizing comfort.
