I find these shoes super comfortable and honestly a pretty good walking-around-shoe. I can’t comment on these as a running shoe but for a lot of comfortable support, especially if you stand/walk a lot or maybe are slightly on the heavier side like myself, these are a gem of a shoe! If you’re a wider footed person, I would size up ½ - 1 size. They’re not a wide shoe but with the additional size I find them to be a comfy width with no annoying tightness anywhere.

Fit tip:
Slightly on the narrow side but not too significantly so.
  • Low cut profile for freedom of movement
  • Made with a simpler, lighter and more breathable upper for improved airflow when it is hot and better water evacuation for dryer feet when it is wet, mile after mile
  • endoFitâ„¢ upper construction is an internal fit sleeve designed to hug the foot in exactly the right places and provide a precise fit
  • Quicklaceâ„¢ is a minimalistic and strong lace for one pull tightening- easy on, easy off
  • Lace pocket provides easy storage for the Quicklaceâ„¢ lacing system
  • Engineered mesh is a structure that varies the weave to offer more support and durability or flexibility and breathability, according to the specific needs of the shoe
  • Relieve Sphere: the distinctive, wavy geometry of the outsole is specifically designed to diffuse pressure and to break down repeated underfoot impact for enhanced, durable comfort
  • All Terrain contaGRIP® is built for the widest variety of surfaces to deliver durability and confidence on wet, dry, hard or loose surfaces
  • Best used for 4 or more distance runs a week on mixed terrain
  • 4mm lug depth
  • 6mm heel to toe drop (41-35mm stack)

The Pulsar is an excellent go-to, every-day trail runner for a variety of terrains including occasional road use. Excelling on groomed trail, if you're running on wet, muddy or rooty terrain, say the Tararua Ranges, this is not the shoe for you. Suitable for long or short distances, the Pulsar boasts a moderate cushion, which some would consider thin in comparison to other maximalist trail running shoes. While not ultra-light, if you're looking for a light, durable and affordable option that can handle a variety of conditions (excluding mud), the Pulsar is an excellent option. This shoe does suit narrower feet and seems to run a half size big in my experiences trying them on.

Fit tip:
Runs big in length, narrow in toes

A really solid, comfortable and cool-looking trail runner! These seem to fit wide feet better than other Salomon shoes (which may be a bit narrower). They are a favourite of a lot of trail runners who come into the store, as well as quite a popular choice as a hiking shoe. I find that they feel very secure and comfortable on and they fit quite a range of foot shapes. While I haven’t taken these guys out in the wilderness for a tramp or a run, they would be one of my top picks if I were looking for a comfy versatile shoe to adventure in.

Fit tip:
Fits comfortably on a range of foot widths and sizes
