Salomon S-Lab Sense 5 Ultra（180美金）可以說是一雙有著復雜冗長名字的，最標志性的越野跑鞋。

如此簡潔的設計，紅白色的絕妙之美超過了它設計的目的：在硬地面和上下起伏的山巒之間奔跑。

Sense Ultra可能是整個越野跑鞋市場里面，唯一設計成競速款的鞋。我們大多數人都會穿著那些為了比賽而訓練的跑鞋，有時會追求更快配速的訓練，但是我們從來不想穿著輕量化的跑鞋，進行路跑的速度訓練。

It is safe to say that the Salomon S-Lab Sense 5 Ultra ($180) may be the most iconic trail running shoe ever designed with an incredibly complicated and wordy name. This simple, yet incredibly refined red-and-white beauty continues to excel at exactly what it was intended for: racing on hard ground and bombing up and down mountains. The Sense Ultra may be the only racing-flat type of shoe designed for trail running in the entire market. Most of us will wear the shoe that we’ve been training in for races and even faster-paced workouts, never giving a thought to the normal road-running practice of doing speed workouts and racing in lighter-weight racing shoes.

無以倫比貼合的鞋面，和混合硬度、低落差的緩沖材料讓Sense Ultra成為一雙非常好的比賽日用鞋。但是穿著能跑多久，真的取決于使用者，Sense Ultra是一雙我希望可以穿的更多的跑鞋。

有的人一看到價格標簽會立刻望而卻步。

但是考慮到我從Sense Ultra獲得驚人的舒適度和多年的穿著，我覺得這雙鞋還真的挺值的。

The combination of an incredible-fitting upper, racing last, and semi-firm low-drop cushioning make the Sense Ultra a great race-day shoe. However long that distance is really varies by wearer, and the Sense Ultra becomes a shoe that I wish I could wear more often. Some of you were instantly repulsed by the price tag, but when considering the incredible durability and years of use that I’ve gotten out of my past Sense Ultras, this shoe is actually a bargain.

在這篇評測里面，我會給跑者們關于這雙鞋的一些基本概念，讓你們知道這雙鞋會不會適合你。我會重點說一下這個版本在設計上的改變，以及Salomon長久以來的一些基本理念，這些理念仿佛領先了跑鞋市場千百萬年。

In this review I want to give runners some ideas of why this shoe may be, or maybe not be, right for you. I’ll highlight some of the design changes in this version as well as some of the basic principles that Salomon has long incorporated into this shoe that makes it feel eons ahead of other similar shoes on the market.

我無法抵抗它，紅色和白色。簡單的事實就是Salomon從來沒有不采用這種配色主題，這就是他們的標志款。

這在我看來絕對是最耀眼的那雙，我不認為在市場上有更好看的越野跑鞋了。

我們都知道顏色并不能代表著什么，但是我認為這是一雙優秀跑鞋設計的附加福利。

I can’t get over it. The red and white. The simple fact that Salomon has never strayed from this color scheme in this, their signature shoe, is absolutely brilliant in my opinion. I don’t think there is a better-looking trail running shoe on the market. While we all know that color doesn’t mean a thing I view it as a fringe benefit of great shoe design.

這些年來，你也許沒有穿過S-Lab系列的Salomon鞋子。

當你第一次將你的腳放進這雙鞋子里的時候，最開始可能感到有一點緊壓的感覺。

Salomon的Endofit技術絕對是市面上最棒的技術，在技術路面會將你的腳保護的很好。這雙鞋的優點太多了，我真的無法全部說上來。

想想一下你的腳被無縫的足中段包裹，當系緊鞋帶，你的腳被完全的固定住，但是腳趾還有足夠的空間張開去感受地面。

當短途越野跑的時候，即使是光著腳，我也從來沒有遇到問題或起水泡。

這額外的腳趾空間，正是我發現和前幾代Sense 5 Ultra不同的地方。

For those of you who haven’t worn a shoe from the S-Lab series of Salomon shoes, the initial fit can be a bit constricting when you first try to put your foot inside the shoe. Salomon’s Endofit technology is absolutely the best tech on the market to hold your foot securely on technical terrain, and I really can’t say enough positive things about it. Imagine your foot being held by a seamless midfoot wrap that once you’re locked into, you feel absolutely secure yet your toes have enough room to splay and feel the ground, and I had zero issues or hotspots going barefoot for short trail runs. That extra bit of toe-box room is exactly what I find different with the Sense 5 Ultra versus past versions.

Salomon同樣會更新了更加透氣的鞋面網布，類似給Kilian Jornet在2011年的Western States設計的原始版本。

即使這層網布幾乎能看穿鞋面，但是材質卻非常結實耐用。

在一些特別熱的天氣里，我仍然能感受到風穿過網布來冷卻我的腳趾。在鞋的前部，網布表面附著一層無縫焊接的薄橡膠層。

前部我最喜歡的部分就是鞋頭的橡膠，它維持著鞋頭腳趾部分的空間結構，防止起皺和起水泡。

即使鞋尖碰撞，也能給予腳趾足夠的保護。

這雙鞋帶有Salomon標準高效的Quicklace快速系帶系統。

鞋帶是凱夫拉材質，鞋舌的部分竟然有一個放置鞋帶的空間，這驚艷到了我。

Salomon also updates the mesh to be much more breathable, similar to the original model which was designed for Kilian Jornet at Western States in 2011. This mesh is surprisingly durable despite being nearly see-through, although it does allow some dust and sand into the shoe. On very hot days I could even sense the wind having a cooling affect on my toes through the open mesh toe box. This mesh is reinforced throughout the upper rubberized laminate overlays that are also seamless. My favorite part of the entire upper is the rubberized toecap which maintains the structure of the toe box from wrinkling and creating hotspots as well as allowing for just enough protection when you catch a toe. The standard and very effective Salomon Quicklace system with kevlar laces and a lace garage in the tongue of the shoe continue to impress me.

SALOMON S-LAB SENSE 5 ULTRA 鞋中部

這雙鞋的包裹性又好又耐用的很大一部分原因，是三層密度的鞋中部材質的使用。這意味著你最開始體驗了一雙偏硬的鞋，跑過了大概50英里，鞋底會稍微軟一點。

最開始用這雙鞋的時候，因為我的足前部非常酸痛，跑起來有點費勁。但是當我馴服了這雙鞋，穿著Sense 5 Ultra跑步會感覺更加流暢。我感到市面上沒有比它更靈巧的越野跑鞋了。

這給了那些“這雙鞋最多跑10英里”、“跑起來腳要廢了”的傳言狠狠地一擊。

A large part of the reason this shoe holds up so well over time is the triple-density midsole material used on this model. This means you initially experience a very firm ride which softens a bit after about 50 miles. At the outset I had trouble running in this shoe in part due to the fact that I was struggling with some soreness in my forefoot. However, after they broke in, runs in the Sense 5 Ultra felt much smoother and there isn’t a more nimble trail shoe on the market. That being said I max out at about 10 miles in this shoe, and while it is a blast to run in my feet certainly take a beating.

給你們一個關于鞋中部泡沫有多硬的概念，我用拇指幾乎無法把這雙鞋的泡沫按下去，但是幾乎所有其他的越野跑鞋我都能按的下去。

做個參考，使用Sense 5 Ultra大概感覺像是Adidas Adios路跑的軟硬程度，但它的鞋頭和鞋跟的落差卻比Adios小了很多，Sense5的落差是4毫米。

在我看來找到另外一雙像是Sense 5 Ultra一樣堅實又快速的跑鞋，是件很困難的事情。

鞋中部的堅實程度可以提供非常棒的路面腳感和保護，并且ProFeel Film科技足以掌控技術地形，實現輕量化和防護性的有效平衡。

To give you an idea of how firm triple-density midsole foam is I can’t really depress the foam with my thumb like I can on any other trail running shoe. For reference, the ride of the Sense 5 Ultra is probably most like an Adidas Adios road-racing flat in firmness but it has a much lower heel drop at 4mm. I have difficulty finding other shoes to compare it to as the feel of the Sense 5 Ultra is very firm and fast. This firmness provides great ground feel and protection, and the ProFeel Film rock plate is just enough to handle technical terrain.

SALOMON S-LAB SENSE 5 ULTRA 鞋底

Salomon的橡膠鞋底帶有濕地牽引Contragrip技術，非常值得擁有。

它能非常好的抓住石頭路面，在平坦路面，即使是公路，跑起來也順暢的很。高度防磨損橡膠底使用壽命很長，磨損的很慢，我的Sense 5 Ultra即使跑過了150英里的距離，看起來仍然毫無磨損。

濕滑的巖石路面是這雙鞋的鞋底閃光的地方：結合了優秀的排水性能，這雙鞋即使跑過濕滑路邊，仍然幾乎沒有泥巴殘留在鞋底。

Salomon’s Wet Traction Contragrip outsole rubber is something to behold. It grabs rock wonderfully and doesn’t get in the way on smooth surfaces, even road. This high-abrasion rubber wears down very slowly and my Sense 5 Ultras show no wear after about 150 miles. Wet rock is really where this outsole shines and combined with the excellent drainage capabilities this is a great shoe for wet and rocky conditions that don’t have a lot of mud.

Salomon的OS Tendon科技讓足跟至腳尖的轉換，就像是堅實的杠桿原理，可以跑出更快的配速。

這對于配速快的跑步經歷感覺很好，但有時鞋中部的堅硬程度和OS Tendon科技的結合，在慢速跑步的時候對我是一種折磨。但是當腿和腳在長距離攀爬非常疲憊的時候，Sense 5 Ultra的堅硬程度卻恰到好處。

Salomon’s OS Tendon technology acts as a firm lever during the heel-to-toe transition and increases the stiffness of the forefoot for a faster cadence. This is great for faster-paced running but sometimes the stiffness of the midsole and OS Tendon combined feels like overkill to me at slower paces. However, this stiffness makes the Sense 5 Ultra a great shoe for long climbs when the legs and feet become fatigued.

觀點總結

這是一雙擁有最新的頂尖科技的鞋，為競速而生。對于體驗到它杰出的設計、貼合度、和耐磨度的跑者來說，即使有著180美金的售價，這仍是一雙很棒的跑鞋。

我聽說有的跑者甚至穿著他們的Sense Ultra跑了接近1000英里。對于Andrew Miller如何穿著這雙跑鞋跑了100英里贏得了2016年的Western States，其實我仍然無法理解。我猜他一定有著一雙有力、高效、以及20歲的腳。不幸的是，我已經錯過了穿著這樣堅硬跑鞋跑長距離的年齡。但是我仍然很喜歡穿著它們來高速奔行或者爬山的日子。

This is a state-of-the-art shoe, designed for racing, and even at $180 this is a great shoe for any runner who can wear it given the excellent design, fit, and durability. I’ve heard from several runners that they can get close to 1,000 miles in their Sense Ultras. I have no idea how Andrew Miller wore these shoes for 100 miles to win Western States 2016. My guess is that he has great, efficient form and 20-year-old feet. Unfortunately, I’m past my days of being able to wear a shoe this firm for any long distances, but I’ve really appreciated them on speedwork or hill days.

但是對于我和其他一些穿過這雙鞋的跑者，我仍有一些問題。4毫米的足部落差并沒有感覺得像是尋常的4毫米落差。

事實上我幾乎感覺我是穿著一雙帶有相反落差的短跑釘鞋，Sense 5 Ultra真的把我放到了我的前足部。這感覺很棒，但是跑一陣子就會感覺到小腿肚和腳踝有一些酸痛。

這種感覺好像是因為鞋中部的過度堅硬，在我看來好像有那么一些沒有必要。我認為這雙鞋如果在鞋中部的材質上帶有一些更軟的EVA材質，可能會有更多的受眾。

However, there are some issues I have with this shoe that I’ve experienced and other runners have as well. The 4mm heel drop does not feel like your typical 4mm drop. In fact, I almost get the sensation that I’m wearing a track spike with a reverse drop and the Sense 5 Ultra really puts me on my forefoot. This is great, but I’ve experienced some calf and Achilles soreness after a few runs in a row in this shoe. This sensation seems to be compounded by the overall firmness of the midsole, which seems somewhat unnecessary in my opinion. I think this shoe would have a much larger audience if the midsole thickness was maintained with some softer EVA foam.

Although I love the 7.9-ounce weight of the Sense 5 Ultra, the Sense Pro is more of a shoe that I can consistently train and race ultra distances in. In fact, a slightly more protective version of this shoe will be debuting in February of 2017 with the Salomon S-Lab Sense Ultra which will feature a 9mm drop and more midsole cushioning. Maybe that shoe will be more my speed, and I can continue to pretend I can wear the Sense 5 Ultra on speedwork days.

即使我很喜歡Sense Ultra 5的224克鞋重，但Sense Pro是一雙我能穿的更多，并且跑一些超遠距離的跑鞋。

事實上，在2017年的2月份，Salomon S-Lab Sense Ultra將首次推出一個帶有更多保護的版本，它將帶有9毫米落差，以及更多的鞋中底的緩沖。

也許這雙鞋將更適合我的速度，我也可以繼續穿著Sense 5 Ultra做一些競速的跑步。

Are you running in the Salomon S-Lab Sense 5 Ultra? What do you think of the shoe?

Have you run in multiple iterations of the Sense Ultras? If so, what do you think of the updates to this model?

What are your thoughts on the shoe’s firm midsole? And what kind of mileage can your body tolerate in these shoes?
