Our Take 

There is definitely a place for maximum cushioning but sometimes we just want to feel fast and the thick and soft shoes that are taking over the shoe wall don’t always provide that feeling.  The Salomon S/Lab Pulsar 3 is that shoe.  Low to the ground, built for speed and agility, the Pulsar 3 is a race ready shoe that can tackle the most demanding terrain.

Built to go fast (and even break records) the S/Lab Pulsar 3 is a slim fitting shoe ideally suit for short races but for those who want more ground feel it might very well go the full distance.  It all depends on what your legs and feet can handle. 

The updated Matryx upper design and lacing system intuitively hug your feet, giving you a very secure feeling on technical terrain.  Combined with a rubber compound that inspires confidence you are definitely going to feel race ready with the Salomon S/Lab Pulsar 3.
