In reply to @coffndrop. There is some arch contour, but it's not obtrusive.

hey,

was wondering if you could comment on what the arch is like in both of these salomon shoes…? is it built-up, or flattish? always imagined they would be pretty arch-y, from the look of them…

cheers in advance, pete!

In reply to Dan. I'd say the Topo MT is definitely a roomier shoe. If that's your decision making feature, go Topo.

Hi,

I wondered how you’d compare this shoe to the Topo Mountain MT? I’m particularly interested in the toe box size. The Sense Pro looks great but the Topo seems to be roomier around the toes (from pictures)

Cheers.

In reply to bradley. Not enough trail experience in muddy conditions to come up with a rec for a mud shoe. I know a lot of people like the Inov-8 X-Talons, and Salomon makes the Sense Soft Ground shoe that has bigger lugs.

Its interesting that you had to go a size down, im a 10 usually, but had to go up half a size in my mantras, ive never had a blister or any problems whatsoever in them, they’ve finally given up on me after alomst a year of a heavy pounding on numerous ultras one being a 75 miler and lots of road training, ive ordered the pro this time because the upper looked more durable as my mantras started to tear along the joins of the upper.
i cant wait to try them out, they are going to get christened officially on the peaks skyrace in the UK in August

also whats your opionion on a good mud shoe, im thinking of inov8 mudclaw or speedcross 3
cheers

Don’t let the reviews about firmness scare you off on this one. I picked up the Sense Pro (they can be had for about $80 on sale) and it ran great for me. I like my trail shoes pretty cush too. Felt like a bit firmer Helios to me. Not near as firm as the NF Ultra Trail…which is one of the firmest of the new shoes I have tried this season (seems I read Olson even has it modified with more cush)…the Ultra trail is most like a trail flat that I have felt this season. The Sense Pro felt like a pretty good all around package. I went true to size because I like a bit more toe room.

In reply to Lisa. I have found drainage to be decent in the Pro, have not submerged the Ultras yet. However, the upper is pretty similar so I expect they should perform well.

[…] går tjuvstartade Salomon sin sommar-rea. Jag var nyfiken på Salomon Sense Pro eftersom både Runblogger och The Ginger Runner har gillat dom. Och självklart slutade det med att jag kom hem med ett par […]

How well do these drain after a water crossing compared to the Ultra version? I have a mountain marathon race coming up with several water crossings and am weighing up my options. I like the idea of a stone plate in these in case of angular rocks – I think my feet would appreciate less bruising far more than they would less weight!
