SALMING ENROUTE2

£139.99 We’ve stated in the past that Salming achieve much of their ‘Design Rule of Five’: light, flexible, flat, thin and comfortable. This quintet is clear in the Enroute2s, starting with weight. At just 269g they’re the lightest on test – a noticeable saving particularly on higher-intensity interval efforts. A particularly responsive midsole provides the flexibility for a proficient landing to toe-off, while the 6mm drop maintains a reasonably flat profile – again, enough for a swift feeling. We complained that Salming’s Distance 3 lacked responsiveness, but that doesn’t apply to the Enroute2. On the downside, the looks aren’t great – there’s a lot going on visually – and the upper material can billow ever so slightly. salming.com
