Salomon Sonic 4 Balance Mens

The updated Sonic 4 Balance is designed to be as springy as it is cushioned. Salomon kept our Optivibe™ cushioning to dampen uncomfortable vibrations without sacrificing energy return, so you get a really responsive ride. Now with a softer mesh and inner booty construction, this shoe is revving to go the extra mile. Optivibe™ cushioning helps limit vibrations with the aim of decreasing muscle fatigue, while continuing to deliver a responsive ride. Sonic 4 Balance delivers bouncy, springy feeling each time you push off the ground. The Geometric Decoupling axis is centered to deliver a balanced, effortless forward transition from contact to propulsion.

• Geometric Decoupling™ works with the foot to provide guidance for an effortless and efficient heel-to-toe transition.
• Optivibe™ midsole is a combination of foams, one to dampen, one to propel. This was developed to reduce vibration upon foot strike aimed to decrease muscle fatigue without affecting the overall ride.
• Invisible from the outside, the Sensifit cradles the foot from the midsole to the lacing system, providing a secure, snug, and virtually customized fit all around the foot.
• Super lightweight, blown Contagrip® rubber formula gives a cushy feel and ground sensation.
• Contagrip® FA combines flat, wide lugs for friction grip on flat, hard surfaces, with a compound that balances durability and adhesion. Ideal for road running.
• 3D open Mesh provides maximum breathability.
• Engineered mesh is a unique mesh structure that varies the weave to offer more support and durability or flexibility and breathability, according to the specific needs in different parts of the shoe.
• Molded to match the contours of your foot, this OrthoLite® insole provides superior cushioning, as well as breathability and durability, to upgrade the comfort and performance of our footwear.
