SALOMON MEN'S SONIC 4 Balance-Palace Blue / White / Evening Primrose

What it is for
The updated SONIC 4 BALANCE is designed to be as springy as it is cushioned. We've 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.

Benefits
Reduce vibrations
Optivibe cushioning helps limit vibrations with the aim of decreasing muscle fatigue, while continuing to deliver a responsive ride.

Responsive ride
Delivers that bouncy, springy feeling each time you push off the ground.

Balanced transition
The Geometric Decoupling axis is centered to deliver a balanced, effortless forward transition from contact to propulsion.
