Our Take 

The Salomon Pulsar Trail Pro is a performance trail shoe for the runner concerned with speed yet not willing to compromise on confidence-inspiring traction and protection.  A combination of Energy Blade, Energy Surge foam and a more rockered geometry creates a trail shoe that wants to move fast but it wouldn’t be a Salomon shoe without good traction except for in the muddiest or loosest of terrain.
