The traction on the Sense Ride 4 is nearly identical to its predecessor. Featuring 4mm deep diamond-shaped lugs, these shoes do surprisingly well in both mud and gravel, as the lugs are spaced optimally to provide traction when things are loose while still shedding mud admirably. Heel drop is the measurement in mm of the difference between the height of the heel and the toe of the sole.

Tom is a psychotherapist by trade and works for the University of Colorado, Colorado Springs. Liz: "I do not consider the Sense Ride 4 to be a bouncy, highly responsive shoe. That said, the midsole doesn't feel sluggish in the slightest, and because there isn't much squish there, it feels like the energy I put into the shoe efficiently propels me forward."

As mentioned earlier, the upper material and fit have been dialed in ever so slightly, going from being perfect to yet more perfect for my tastes.
