I would love to love this runner but can't
Yes , I recommend this product
Disclaimer, I have huge feet, size 14. Have about 20 miles on these, mostly flat trail miles in central NJ. Shoes are WAY too tight in the mid foot and loose in the heel. Tried a shoe stretcher, made a little progress, still tight up front. Never had runners with a loose heel. can't get a good lockdown. That being said if this shoe fit properly I'd love it. Enough grip and protection, light and nimble. Suggest Salomon get a different foot model for the larger sizes. I started in the Speedcross and changed to the Wildcross when I started trail running and never had issues like this, left Salomon for other reasons. Circled back after my brand of choice completely F'd up the greatest trail runner ever made. Guess the search goes on for a replacement.

Overall Happy
Yes , I recommend this product
I have been a loyal Speedcross buyer but wanted to branch out after 12yrs. Knowing Salomon has fit my feet well past I was willing to try something a bit lighter, with less drop and similar traction. I feel I have relatively narrow feet and find the Pulsar to be slightly wider/ larger than I'd prefer. I wear a 9.5 with perfect for in the speedcross so got the same size in the Pulsar, they are comfortable but my feet don't require so much space in the toe box.

Goes where I need it to.
Yes , I recommend this product
The Pulsar is comfortable and I don't at all notice the weight of the shoe. It has more structure than other trail shoes I've used, but I appreciate the sure-footedness and energetic underfoot feel that it offers. I'm not racing in it, but its the shoe I am most confident in for adventures (50 miles in Death Valley next week). I'm on my third pair.

New Pulsars are game changing!
Yes , I recommend this product
The Pulsar has changed! I have had Pulsar for years and I like the firm support. These are like walking on air. Literally. Feel good. Just got through having surgery on my foot. Got these and man I could finally walk all day.
