For Your Next Daily Sneaker, Consider Salomon
Out now in the New York Sun: on the Salomon ACS Pro
“…as you walk, the bounce of the cushioning is pushing against your feet; and comfort is more complex than simply shoving layers of foam under your feet. Some people love being able to feel the ground under them, and working the muscles in their soles, and for them, there’s nothing better than barefoot shoes. For the same reason, out of my 70 or so pairs of sneakers, my thin-soled Vans Lizzies are hard to beat for ground feel. Then there are other questions about durability, lightness, breathability, fit and so forth; all of which affect what makes a shoe overall more comfortable for you. A great fitting, well-made pair of dress shoes are often far more comfortable than a foam-and-air equipped ill-fitting pair of Nikes.
Mind you, I still love my 990v6 and Foam Runners; but having tried a pair of the ACS Pro from French outdoor sports company, Salomon, I am yet to find a shoe that better combines all the elements of comfort I want. They’re my new go-to, for either a quick nip out, or a day spent walking; and I plan to get several more pairs.”
