Customer Reviews Salomon S/Lab Sense 8 SG

I bought these last month for strictly trail running, and now I hit the gym, the grocery store and even run errands with them on. They are extremely comfortable and light-weight. I may have taken them off once this month to shower. Highly recommended for comfort and style.

Ich laufe mit diesem Schuh tglich in den Alpen auf allen Terrains und Bedingungen von kurzen Berglufen bis zum Ultra. Der Bodenkontakt und die Agilitt sind perfekt. Trotzdem reicht die Dmpfung fr trainierte Fsse gemss meiner Erfahrung auch gut fr Ultra-Distanzen. Der Schuh ist extrem leicht und trotzdem socken-hnlich bequem. Der einzige negative Punkt ist, dass die Sohle auf nassen Steinen und Fels sehr schlechte Haftung hat. Dies muss mit der Gummimischung zu tun haben. Der Salomon sense 4/pro ist hier beispielsweise viel besser. Wenn dies noch verbessert wird, ist dieser Schuh einsame Spitze!

Bought these 4 months ago and have been amazed with them. i was initially unsure about the gator, but became a big fan very quickly. You don't even notice it when you've got them on. The grip is, as ever, very good. Shoes are lightweight and feet do not over heat. Good on wet grass and rock but also on dry trail.

I bought it few months ago, I so happy that has made up for the concern of sands into the shoes.

Very light shoes, perfect to run on snow and wet trails...I love them.

I have run in Salomon shoes for 6 years various models mostly s labs versions . They a shoe you grow into the slab SG version 8 is a fast shoe . And you will feel it over muddy ground it's a lot lighter than previous variants and people ate going to mown about the Sock gaitor but this evolution. If you have ever run in mud or thick snow then you understand why they did this and it does work, the lace garage will perplex a lot of people and they are addressing it with some additional padding but I didn't have an issue . But some people will that you can be assured, but not every one can be pleased , slab and Salomon push boundaries that very few trail shoe companies do. It is hard to keep being innovative and you have to take risks. The design of the new shoe is huge step forward and you really should give the shoe time . I find after about 60k in the soften up and then like slippers . Keep doing what your doing Salomon you cannot please everyone .

J'ai t trs surpris par la lgret, le confort et l'amortie de la chaussure malgr son poids trs faible. Le dynamisme est prsent et la tenue de route aussi. Une chaussure complte malgr le petit problme de quicklace qui m'a laiss des traces aux cheville, problme rsolu grce dj par la super garantie salomon et aprs avoir trouv un meilleur emplacement du quicklace pour ne plus avoir de problme.

Fan de la SG depuis toujours. Pour moi c'est la version la plus aboutit. Le poids est vraiment incroyable. Je suis fan de la gutre, rien ne rentre dans la chaussure. La mousse qui est situe au dessus du coup de pied apporte plus de confort que les versions prcdentes, on ne sent pas le quick lace.

I love the new SG8, same snug fit and great feeling of the ground and control as previous SG but the gaiter is a pleasant surprise. No gravel or parts of the forest my socks anymore! And I like the feeling of having that little ankle "support".

Zapatilla que ajusta como un calcetn. Ajuste al pie preciso y muy cmoda. Control total de la pisada y buen agarre en terreno embarrado. La polaina es perfecta para evitar que entre algo en la zapatilla.

Skoens overdel gjr at den sitter tett og godt p foten. Med bare noen tynne lisser i overdelen, er det meste av vekt skrapet bort. Denne har blitt med p mange raske og fine lpeturer i terrenget!

Frst skeptisk till nya strumpan men efter testat den s r man fast! passformen r fantastisk. knns skrddarsydd efter foten. kommer garanterat inte in ngot skrp i skon oavsett om du har lera upp till knna.

This shoe is so fast. I'm looking forward to do all of my faater climbs in the sense 8 sg. It really does feel like an extension if your foot while running trails. The heel width is perfect, I had no issues with the fit although it's allways nice when the inside of the toe box doesn't slope inward for no reason other than to promote bunions, weak arches, ect. That wasn't too much or an issue here, but was noticeable. A few questions/issues: I don't understand why the profilm plate doesn't extend to the heel. When descending at full speed in this shoe (an obvious use case if you're looking for fkt's ect. There is no way to just be carefull about what your heel hits. You have to place your forefoot somewhere, and while your forefoot will feel amazing and very nimble, the bottom of the heel is actually quite perilously exposed to sharp rocks. Many mountains have extensive gravel/dirt trails with sharp rock fields/ridges near the peak. Why not make it just a little bit more versatile? The foam also creased almost immediately, but I am hopefully that this shoe will last for at least 100 miles of quick climbing/descending. The feel and ride are amazing, so I hope that this isn't an issue. I wonder if it's really just an outdated lightweight foam in use here. A little surprising for the price. Overall a very fun product, I would recommend them to certain people, especially if on sale. The low drop feels great! I try to bounce between 0 mm and 8 mm drops, but 4 is perfect. Some have noted that it feels like -4 mm at times. I hope that the next iteration promotes actually finishing races in this shoe by extending the plate to the heel.

I've now covered 100+ miles in these and the only thing I can fault is the amount of cushioning underfoot. Don't get me wrong, for anything up to 45k they have been perfect. Snow, steep muddy descents they're miles in front of anything else I've ran in. When it comes to anything longer,and more time on harder surfaces,you can(will) notice the.lack if cushioning. 6yeard on Hokas and I won't go back. I'm faster, more confident, less injury prone and enjoy the the response from the shoe...

I'm a huge Salomon fan and bought these more out of interest than need. I can't use them all the time as my feet are strong but not conditioned for how thin the soles of these shoes are. I LOVE them for going for a quick rip on soft ground (that's why they're called SG) but I have to go fairly gingerly if I run into rough terrain, which is common where I play. These were built to be fast and light and that they are. I do love using these shoes but they're definitely not my daily driver. I train in the Sense 8 and use the Ultra 3 for longer distances.

Une arme pour la mi distance mais les crampons sont fragile par rapport la sense 7 SG

I bought thse in the beginning of summer and I keep getting blisters out of them. I had s-lab sneakers for a long time and never had that problem. The only big comfort difference I can think of is that sensi-fit layer inside that normaly makes your feet very comfortable. The shoe is very light, and the sole is very good as well. The shoe is made out of some kind of mesh which drains very well if you're running in wet areas. I love the shoe and I'm still hoping my problem is just a longer break in process. I might recommend these as they are overall interesting

Nach jahrelangen Erfahrungen mit den S-lab Schuhen (Sense 6 und 7 sg) musste natrlich auch der Neue gleich auf Herz und Nieren geprft werden. Gegenber dem Vorgnger etwas schwerer, vom grundlegenden Aufbau aber dem Sense 7 sg hnlicher als dem Sense 6 sg. Pro: -etwas mehr Dmpfung im Vorfubereich - was den Schuh verglichen mit dem Vorgnger 7 merklich besser laufbar macht -perfekte Passform und hervorragendes Gefhl fr den Untergrund -vor allem im Neuzustand hervorragender Grip -sehr Schmutz resistentes Obermaterial -der integrierte Gaiter verhindert sehr gut das Eindringen von Schmutz in den Schuh Contra: -der auffallendste Unterschied - die Gaiter - bringen leider auch einen Nachteil - man bekommt sehr schnell Blasen im Ristbereich beidseits. Hier drften aber nicht nur die Gaiter als solche, sondern vor allem das mittig ins Obermaterial eingearbeitete (da, wo sonst die Zunge ist) Stoschutzmaterial schuld sein, da dieses ber den bergang vom Fu zum Unterschenkel hinausgeht und dadurch in dem Bereich einfach zu viel Material ist. Ohne die Stelle abzukleben entstehen auch bei krzeren Touren schon Blasen. Der Sinn dieses Materials erschliet sich mir nicht und es war auch beim 7-er nicht vorhanden. -wie auch beim 7-er scheint die Haltbarkeit der Sohle nur sehr begrenzt zu sein - bei mir sind bereits nach 70km im alpinen Einsatz die ersten Stollen (seitlich) weggerissen -die Verstautasche fr den Schnellverschluss lsst sich leider nicht wie gedacht nutzen, da durch das sehr straffe Gaitermaterial und die oben beschriebene Verdickung im Obermaterial derSchnellverschluss dann sehr unangenehm auf den Fu drckt - das war bei den Vorgngern nicht so... Fazit: Gegenber dem direkte Vorgnger wurde einiges richtig gemacht, aber leider auch ein paar neue "Baustellen" erffnet. Fr mich war nach wie vor der 6-er der perfekte Wettkampfschuh. Ohne die Verdickung im Obermaterial und mit einer etwas besser haltbaren Sohle wre aber der 8-er ein durchaus wrdiger Nachfolger auch fr lngere Rennen.

scarpa molto reattiva, con poca ammonizzazione ma tanto grip specialmente su terreni morbidi, perfetta per corse veloci su distanze medio-corte. La ghetta fornisce un'ottima protezione dai sassi che potrebbero entrare nella scarpa.

Ich habe mich so auf das neue Model gefreut!! Aber die Aufrstung mit diesem Stlpen ist fr mich und meine Fsse ungeeignet. Ich hatte auf dem Rist beidseits Blattern, weil der Schnrung rsp. der Verschluss plus Stlpe zusammen ein Gegenzug oder wie auch immer verursachen. Mein linker Fuss, innen unter dem Knchel war ebenfalls von der Schnrung wundgescheuert, obwohl ich die Schuhe gar nicht angezogen habe, da sie offensichtlich zu eng sind fr mich. Auch die flexibilitt, die ich beim 7.0 so geliebt habe, fehlt mir hier. Nein, definitiv ist es kein Fortschritt aus meiner Sicht.

I have raced in every Sense since 5. They have only gotten better until now. The lack of any ankle collar material to reduce heel slippage caused both heels to rub raw and blister. The poorly placed lace garage evened out the experience by chewing up the top of my foot. The resulting pain caused me to fall from 2nd to 18th by the end of the race. The fit and quality of the Sense series has always been so good that I have sung their praises to anyone that would listen, until now. Design the shoe to fit properly first then worry about how to work in the gaitor.

J'ai eu 5 paires de S Lab sense 7 (SG et normal), hlas la 8 SG avec gutre intgre n'est pas confortable mon gout... Je n'arrive pas m'y adapter. Autant le Quicklace, la semelle contact grip et le tissu sont top comme sur l'ancien modle, mais la gutre cre des irritations autant derrire sur le tendon d'Achille que devant sur le coup de pied. Aprs avoir essay la sense 8 modle normal, il aurait fallu faire pareil pour la SG : Pas de gutre et juste abaisser la chaussure au niveau des chevilles. Je ne changerais pas de marque car j'adore Salomon, mais j'espre que la version 9 sera optimise sur ce petit point qui cre au final des grosses frustrations.

Adepte de la slab sg depuis plus de 10ans, sur toutes distances (du trail court l'ultra) , c'est la premire fois que je suis vraiment du....le mesh est beaucoup moins respirant et surtout, grosse irritation sur le coup de pied au niveau de la poche "cache lacets "...il va falloir trouver autre chose...

Agree with Ryan, the lace compartment are very thin on the top and created blisters/wore through the skin on the upper foot/ankle. And it was quite hurtful during the race as the laces were very close to the skin. Seems like a design flaw, the protection behind are too short. Very expensive way to destroy the feet. Have 8 pair of trail-salomon, had never had blisters before. :( Exept from that vary nice shoes for muddy races!
