Our verdict
This is a firm road running shoe that won't deliver on longer runs due to the lack of responsiveness but doesn't disappoint on shorter runs, whether on wet or dry terrain. What's great is that it kept the traditional ride, the shoe flexes naturally with the foot, which is the most praised thing about it.
Pros
- Natural flexibility
- Traditional ride
- Great lockdown
- True to size

You have to love the firm feel if you want this shoe. Maybe it won't be your dedicated workhorse trainer or a daily running shoe, but if firmness is what you're looking for, you're in for a treat given the insane durability and grip of this shoe.

Look away if you want a softer ride in a road running shoe. In that case, look at Ténis Salomon Supercross Blast preto branco. And if you want something that would fit wider feet and deliver that snappiness, consider these two: zapatillas de running Salomon hombre constitución fuerte talla 36 más de 100 or Salomon Apparel Exo Motion Men's Shorts.
Salomon Predict 2 is comfy!
It's very comfortable for medium and narrow feet. However, if you're on the wider end or expect toe splay, you will be disappointed. The welded overlays go across the toebox in such a way that they don't allow your pinkie toe to "escape" a bit. Also, if you do try to lace the shoes really hard, the extra tongue material folds in on itself. Runners wish the tongue was not overdone like this.
Firm with a capital F
This is a firm shoe. Although it looks well-cushioned, it's no pillow ride. The midsole is firm and, while that can be a great thing, here it's not because it also removed responsiveness from the equation. There's no snap, no energetic toe-off. And runners do love those.
Some runners think that due to all this firmness, even overpronators would enjoy the Predict 2. Many are familiar with the Nike Free series and the Predict 2 has a bit more structure, which is a great thing for Nike Free fans.

It's a consensus: traction delivered by Predict 2 is superb. Even on wet surfaces. But, if squeaking annoys you - beware. This running shoe might get a squeak here and there on wet/slick surfaces.
