I have similar issue (hotspot) with S/Lab Genesis. What had helped me - is cutting one lace holder (the one that closes to fingers) and it solved the issue.
I shared a review of the Trail Pro 2 as well. I found the shoe to be a lot of fun to run in. I, fortunately, didn't have any hot spots or heel/ankle issues. I enjoy the shoe a lot and even considered it for my 100k trail race, but ultimately chose not to use it in my ultra race because the Trail Pro 2 feels a tad top heavy or tipsy. So, I'll be using my trusted TERREX Speed Ultra instead. Great video as always!
@@JustAnotherRunner I rolled my ankle once which isn't necessarily uncommon, but it does feel a little more unstable compared to other trail shoes (Saucony Ride 15 TR, TERREX Speed Ultra, New Balance Summit Unknown v4).
@@ADyess086 Yep! Might be a little too 'low stack height' of a shoe for some but it worked out great for me! There was also a number of stream crossings and that shoe sheds water very well. Here's the video if you want to check it out: ruclips.net/video/ogpTTB5_d7Y/видео.html
@@SeeChadRun I was looking at that exact shoe. I’m a huge adidas fan with a full rotation for road shoes. I was very hopeful for their trail shoes but a little hesitant it might be too minimum for me. I’m training for my first ultra (50K)
I had the exact same issues with the roll of the Pulsar Trail Pro original, but it didn't start happening until about mile 200 for me. I wonder if its a design flaw of the plate.
Exact same experience. LOVE the shoe but get a hot spot in the exact same spot which is really bad on downhills. I took them out for 13 miles and my toe had purple spots from the weird flex.
@@ADyess086 Honestly I prefer these shoes but they give me a bit of a hotspot on long dusty runs so I run in these for anything less than 10 and I'll use the ultra glides for longer ones.
@@JustAnotherRunner I appreciate the feedback. So far I love these and have a pair of the original ultra glides I found on steep discount in the mail. I guess I could just keep a similar rotation, perhaps. I, too, own the sense ride 5. Like that shoe for versatile all around.

Oh really? Did you roll your ankle a lot?

Speed ultra for 100k?

Interesting that it took you that long! I bet you're right about the plate.
I had that same hotspot with the sense ride 2/3, can’t remember which. It got so bad I had a callus in that spot for a year afterward!
That's dedication! Running in shoes that rub enough for a callus haha
I wonder how they compare to the hoka zinal 2 which in my opinion is the trail shoe of 2023
Wish I could try them as well!
Any guys have experience of this and the slab pulsar.. the slab pulsar for me I'm happy with but not so durable
Exact same experience. LOVE the shoe but get a hot spot in the exact same spot which is really bad on downhills. I took them out for 13 miles and my toe had purple spots from the weird flex.
such a bummer! Because i love the shoe besides that!
Just picked these up in the white. No runs yet but try on, feel really good.
I still run in these. You're gonna love em
@@JustAnotherRunner I was in limbo between these and the ultra glide 2. I’ve watched both your reviews on each. What’s your general preference?

@@ADyess086 geez you have about as many shoes as I do! haha
All the things you love about the shoes dont matter, if you can not run in them!!
