Salomon Trail running shoes have earned an excellent reputation. The new Sonic Pro now extends that to road running. The upper is a Salomon strength, as those familiar with its trail shoes already know, and it excels at fitting curvy feet. The no-sew overlays and Quick-lace system snug the foot in and accomo- date its flexion while running, and the minimesh vents well. The midsole is a responsive layer of quality EVA that’s lively, with a quick feel. The outersole is a combination of high-abrasion compounds and textured patterns for grip. The responsive ride, midsole geometry, and sleek fit gear the Sonic Pro toward faster running—you determine how fast.
Testers: “Fit [is] moccasin-close, snug, but comfortable. Fast-feeling shoe that worked well for mileage or tempo runs.”
