Overview

Designed for Kilian Jornet to break some of the most iconic course records, the PULSAR uses cutting-edge technology from Salomon’s legendary S/LAB. When he asked for a shoe to run fast on trails, our product development team took up the challenge: an ultra-light, precise and dynamic shoe weighing just 170g. With a soft sock-fit, reinforced breathable Matryx® mesh and new strategic cushioning, you’ll feel like you’re going to take off.

    Salomon continues to take trail shoes to a new level

    What a shoe - I have purchased 4 pairs now !! Continued rotation for my races !!! What an experience, response in the foam, driving you forward and bouncing through the trails !! Have worn them for 50km and 100km with no need to change, Lightweight and fits like a sock !! Great response on the trails but when you hit the road it propels you light another road shoe !! Highly recommendthis shoe

    They Look Good

    Shoe looks great out of the box. they feel light when you pick them up. Then they are near impossible to get on your feet. Ive managed to get them on 3 times now. Taken me 5min or more each time. Feel ok to run in but not to the usual statndard that I am used to with Salomon shoe's. I'm really disappointed with the purchase.

    Fast light responsive

    The Pulsar flies on groomed trail fire roads grass and bitumen...the new foam is easy on the legs and urges you to run faster ...it's a fun very fast light shoe a silver slipper for font running mid to forefoot strikers That said I have an issue with the hard toe bumper rubbing up against my big toe I wish the toe bumper was softer on the inside. Otherwize the Pulsar fits great with no heel slip ...it's a chore to pull on though! The Pulsar flies on hardpack and rolling hills but is not quite as assured on loose rocky downhill or more technical trails ...The Contragrip sole is grippy but the lugs aren't deep enough to bite in muddy conditions or on loose scree or rocks ...I anticipate setting some new P.B's wearing the Pulsar ... once you start running in it you won't want to go back to your other shoes ...it's faster than my road running flats! I hope Salomon will also make a SG version in the future!

    Wrong size sent, then couldn't repurchase

    Had the wrong size delivered. No worries, brought it back to the warehouse, returned it, refunded. Then the promo code wouldn't work for me to repurchase the correct size, even though it was meant to still be valid until the end of the month. I figured it was a mistake, so submitted a Customer Support form via the website, sent emails both from me and the race director from where the code was from, and after two weeks still no response. Pretty poor customer service overall, resulting in both no sale for you, nor new shoes for me. I'm certain the actual shoes might've been 5 stars, but never ever got the right shoes to review.

    Comfi and light

    They won't leave your feet ever (on the trails). The sole as plenty enough grip for the Aussie soil. It's light on the feet and really snug, like proper snug especially with the bootie built in. It is a favorite of mine and will be used for UTA this year!
