Salomon Ultra Glide 4

Salomon Ultra Glide 4 review: what runners say

Fit

True to size, relatively wide for a Salomon shoe. Also available in a wide version, recommended for ultramarathons where foot swelling is expected.

Feel

Maximum cushioning with a smooth ride and pronounced rocker that promotes forward momentum. The foam is soft but not responsive: comfort-first, no claims of propulsion.

Durability

Over 100 miles with no significant structural degradation. After 50+ miles on varied terrain, the lugs show minimal wear. Contagrip outsole with 4 mm lugs and full coverage.

Best for

Long-distance trail shoe for mixed terrain, from 50K to 100 miles. Suited to runners and hikers prioritizing extended comfort; handles pavement sections as well. Not recommended for extreme technical terrain or fast workouts.

Weak points

Unresponsive foam, not suited to those seeking energy return. Pointed toe box flagged as an issue by some sources. Slightly heavy compared to modern competitors.
