Finding the ideal shoes to start Trail Running or simply to do relaxed runs in the mountains can be quite a challenge. Now, we have the new release from Salomon: the Salomon Pulsar Trail. Shoes designed with comfort in mind so that runners can enjoy long distances on mountainous terrain.

The main feature of these shoes is their comfort. They have a very padded interior that makes your feet feel remarkable comfort. The special thing about this model lies in the combination of the new Energy Foam midsole and the Energy Blade plate, which provide cushioning and energy when running. These shoes make running easy, allowing for smooth and fluid transitions. Although they can handle technical terrain if you don´t run very fast, their optimal performance is found on easier terrain. Additionally, they are lightweight, weighing only 280 grams, allowing you to run at higher speeds. The 6 millimeter drop also helps you control your stride and gain speed at certain moments. However, on extremely muddy terrain, the lugs of the 3.5mm All Terrain Contagrip sole may fall short, but on wet terrain without much mud, they provide good grip.

These shoes are spacious and comfortable, suitable for those medium/high weight runners looking for comfort and durability in their races of a certain distance. Although the Quick Lace lacing system may not provide a very strong hold and may cause some limitations on technical terrain, they work very well on forest roads or wide trails, allowing you to maintain a lively pace.

All in all, I had the pleasure of being able to test the Pulsar Trail model from the French brand in a very special race for me, the Salomon Mitja Pirineu. In it I was able to try them at fast paces and also on technical trails both up and down. And what can I say... forgetting that you are wearing sneakers is the best indication of success! Both in terms of grip and comfort, they provide a completely satisfactory experience.

In short, the Salomon Pulsar Trail is an excellent option for runners who want to enjoy long runs in the mountains without sacrificing comfort. The combination of cushioning and dynamics makes them stand out, and they are ideal for less technical terrain and higher speeds.
