Salomon S-Lab 4

Salomon launches version four of its shoe aimed at competition, the Salomon S-Lab 4. Input few respects to its previous model changes.

The first feeling, once we put them, is extremely light. The feeling is of not wearing any shoe, although it remains very attached to the foot. Damping is optimal: it is very soft, front and rear but with the necessary hardness that provides the Salomon chassis and offers a great consistency. In the front of the shoe feel pretty stones and outgoing, but does not disturb. The sensitivity of the ground is very good you can feel the relief and surface type, which will help us in our trail.

As for the system of tying this shoes uses the typical Salomon tightening system commonly used in all their models and that offers such good results. This, together with the heel shape, which once seated is securely fastened, it provides a perfect fit. Even sometimes it’s difficult to remove them.

Another element already classic that incorporates this S-Lab 4 is the insole of the OrthoLite home and that the French brand also use in their models. A very soft insole that helps the absorption of impacts and the foot does not move inside the shoes, in addition to carrying an antibacterial system to prevent odors.

Moreover, the impermeability is low or low to moderate, enduring not constant splashing. As a downside it is noteworthy that the durability of the sole is moderate.

Shoe designed to compete not very fatty grounds and in all sorts of distances, especially interesting for ultra trails. It is a great choice having them just to compete and not to use them daily, given its relative wear. The high price also requires us to take care especially. Despite this, its value is resoundingly good.
