Moving on to the heel which is generously padded making the fit plush and comfortable. So there you have it the complete breakdown of the dumpster fire that is the tongue of the SolarGlide 5. This leads to the tongue easily folding under and when added to the already lateral migrating the dumpster fire slowly builds.įinally the lack of padding along with the two previous issues there is no protection from the laces which could rub at times and I could also fell the pressure from them which led to loosening them more than normal which is a bummer because the mid foot fit is really good.
The second mistake they made was leaving the edges unfinished and no quilting. First off it is not gusseted which isn’t necessarily bad if designed right, but this one is not which caused it to roll off every time to the lateral side of my foot. The biggest disappointment I have with this upper is the tongue which is awful. Soft suede interior overlays and a 3 stripe logo fused on both sides provide simple but comfortable and effective support to the shoe. This material lacks stretch has of any kind but the spacious toe box makes up for it.
The upper is made from Primeblue knit material that is made entirely of recycled materials, 50% parley ocean plastics and 50% recycled polyester, that breathes well. The upper of the Solar Glide 5 has a very accommodating interior and fit true to size. This midsole coupled with a new rocker design provides a smooth well cushioned ride that does feel lighter than the shoes actual weight. The SG5 has some responsiveness but more bouncy as I don’t want to give the impression that it has the energy return needed for faster paced running. However, after a couple of 6-mile runs the shoes did break-in and had a nice cushioned underfoot feel and is exceptionally stable and smooth. My first couple of outings in the shoe felt really stiff, especially in the forefoot. The medial and lateral sidewalls provide guidance through a runners stride keeping the foot in a neutral position without the need for a post. This adds a fair amount of rigidity to these areas giving a bit of torsional resistance. This is a plastic torsion system that extends into the heel and forefoot that also spans medically and laterally in both areas, an H-shaped design. New to the Solarglide is a full-length LEP system. The midsole of V5 has a generous helping of the bubbly foam more that the previous version with a stack height from 32 mm to 36 mm in the heel and from 22 to 26 in the forefoot while the extra foam gives the shoe a bouncy ride it has also added some weight about 12.6 Oz.
