    JESS MENA's review

    Right now this is my go to "RACE SHOE" for 50k. It's a tad bit harder, but in a 50k where there are more opportunities to push the pace, this stable and energy return shoe is great. It's a snug fit , which I also like for shorter distances in the ultra space.

    A step up with a bit more stability than the last iteration of the S/LAB pulsar. Also a great race shoe. I wear a USW10.5 in Salomon.
