Salomon Ultra Flow 2 gtx review: what runners say
Fit
Standard fit, neither narrow nor wide. The heel holds the foot well under normal conditions, although some sources report that the non-GTX version can feel slightly looser than the Ultra Glide 3.
Feel
Moderate cushioning with Energy Foam (EVA + OBC): softer than the first version without sacrificing stability. Ground feel is present, not plush. Decent response but not designed for speed.
Durability
Contagrip outsole with 4 mm lugs, durable rubber across the full contact surface. At 28 km the midsole shows no signs of compression. Expected longevity consistent with the entry-level tier of the Ultra lineup.
Best for
Light, non-technical trail and long comfort-focused outings. Suits all foot strike types. Asphalt/trail hybrid. Not recommended for demanding technical terrain or runners seeking agility or speed.
Weak points
The traditional lacing system tends to come undone on overgrown routes. The GTX version retains water when fully submerged, adding noticeable weight to the shoe.
