Great!

Inspired by the natural motion of the foot, the Salomon Predict Soc 2 has a unique decoupled system that actually gives a very pleasant experience on the road. No other fancy features, just a solid, reliable shoe that with its stable, cushioned and super comfortable ride is a great companion for daily running and easy days. What’s more, it does all that with style.

Who should buy salomon grey xt wings 2 advanced quiet shade

Get this shoe if you are after comfort, prefer knit over mesh uppers, and need a trainer for your slow-paced runs. Given its flexibility, it’s great to have it in your rotation, as a “break” from other more rigid shoes.

Who should not buy it

Look elsewhere if you:

Amazing upper

Knit uppers outward get mixed reviews. Yet, in this case, reviewers have no doubts when it comes to the comfort that this knit provides. It’s soft and stretchy, and as a tester said, “bunion sufferers may be very happy” with it. 

On top of this, the padding and the roomy toe box, according to another runner, add extra comfort and ultimately the shoe “just feels good.”

Not the usual feel

Wearers attested that the ride is on the firm side, but it’s cushioned, smooth, a little bit energetic, and with a “clearly felt rebound.” On top of that, this Salomon road shoe has a decoupled design, featuring flex grooves both in the midsole and in the outsole, to give a more natural movement to the foot. 

Testers confirmed this:

  • “you really feel your foot working easily in concert” with the shoe 
  • it “lets your foot do what you want it to”
  • “I find an incredibly pleasing more natural foot” in the ride.

Predict Soc 2 grips well everywhere

Very similar to what we saw in the first version of the shoe, the Predict Soc 2 has a full rubbered outsole that covers the entire extent of the surface. The rubber is quite soft, and according to a tester, the “grip has been good on all surfaces.” This was confirmed by another runner who added that it provides plenty of traction.

While trying a run in it, an experienced runner noticed that “things got a bit shakier in hold and feel up front at faster paces.” On the contrary, when taken for slow, short runs, this shoe is completely at ease and works great.

A reviewer pointed out that the Predict Soc 2 is not limited to running. It can double as a comfortable sneaker and it’s a good choice for leisure time or even traveling, as it “maintains support and comfort throughout the day.”

Hugs the foot

An expert pointed out that some runners might need slightly more structure in the toe box. However, the combination of the semi-rigid heel counter and the overlays that wrap the foot on the sides provides a secure feel and the lockdown is “excellent and easy.”

Some testers were worried that the decoupled design, both of the midsole and outsole, could negatively impact the stability of the shoe. Instead, they found out that this Predict offers a rather good amount of support.

The design and colors were very appreciated by those who tried this shoe. A tester who got the black version said that its look is “dark, dark and serious,” but at the same time it has “a go-anywhere vibe.”
