I recently purchased my 4th pair of these shoes which have been perfect for trail running and walking the dog over many years, all without a problem. However, three trips out after purchasing my latest pair, the laces had frayed and snapped both sides of the hand toggle grip. Clearly the design and/or quality of this lace system has deteriorated substantially. I've had to replace them with some 'Lock Laces', which feel a lot more substantial and are working fine.

I needed to go half a size up to accommodate my feet in the narrow toe box. However the fit is excellent and the shoes do the job perfectly on the coastal trails that I run. These have been used in all conditions and have performed perfectly. No issues at all.

The fit is amazing, very well cushioned and light and the grip is great. They do seem to have less support on the arch and feel like I may need to add some support insteps to level my feet out, they are classed as neutral but feel that they lack a bit of stability.

Excellent overall shoe for west coast trail running. The only minor downside is the tongue seems thicker than the three previous models making the shoe feel a bit clunky

These shoes are so comfy that walking becomes just effortless. I'm very happy with the purchase.

The shoe is really comfortable but usually size 12 fits me but this one is a little tight. Overall good product

The shoes are off by 1 size and Not 0.5 size. I have extremely narrow feet for a man, and I wear size 10. Even if I had ordered 10.5 shoe, they would still be too small by another half size. Not sure how did the Salomon manufacturing team got the shoe sizing this wrong. This is why I dislike shopping online for shoes and slides. The manufacturing date on the shoe is 03/23 and it’s now 03/25. 2 year old stock? Other than that the shoes are lightweight, outer sole is solid and lace system is convenient.

I purchased my first pair of the Sense Ride 5 GTX almost two years ago and bought another pair to replace them. (The fact that I purchased them a second time tells you something already) I have never had a pair of shoes fit better than the Sense Ride series, and the 5's are no exception. I have spent hours hiking, running, and walking in these shoes, and I have no complaints. They support my foot well and allow for a plush-yet sensitive feel. The previous pair I owned worked well, but after two years of steady wear the tread was mostly gone of the front and the fabric where the heel enters the shoe was ripped and worn (I still have the shoes and they are perfectly wearable). I had a slight problem a few months ago with the bottom rubber starting to peel off slightly, although a bit of shoe glue purchased from the hardware store fixed the issue. Overall I like the shoes and I couldn't be happier! P.S. Yes, they are waterproof, I have intentionally stepped in many puddles just to show off, and the only time my foot got wet was when the water went above the shoe, drowning my socks and my dignity)

I generally run my size with others brands (Columbia, TNF, etc...) and have no issues, however these were a little tight on the tips of my toes. After some wear, it got significantly better and holy cow is the grip and waterproofing good.

I like the lacing system and the colors in a lightweight and waterproof trail runner

Felt hard at first but after a few run it feels perfect

First of all, the shoe runs small compared to Sense Ride 4. More importantly it seems that this model is forcing my foot into pronation and it feels like I'm only running on the outside edge of my foot. Very uncomfortable! I feel none of that on my Sense Ride 4. This shoe makes me feel clumsy and unsure of my strides downhill. Sad, I loved sense ride 4, but this is a no go.

More comfortable after a few break-in walks, I like the warmth of gore-tex being up north, my quicklace was a little lopsided (when pulling). Not sure what to do about that other than being careful. Coming from the Outline and Outpulse, not as stable, so now I know I need a hiking model too.

Ces souliers sont très durables, je suis agréablement surpris!!

In my experience, Salomon is one of the few brands that still prioritizes exceptional craftsmanship in their shoes. I'm a huge fan of their products. I currently own the Sense Ride 5 without Gore-Tex and now have these as well, and I must say the quality is outstanding. The durability and comfort of these shoes are unparalleled. I would recommend considering sizing up, but of course, that can vary depending on individual preferences and foot shape. Overall, I highly recommend these shoes to anyone looking for top-notch quality and performance.
