DESCRIPTION

Designed to go the distance — and then some — the Salomon Ultra Glide 4 is a high-cushion trail shoe built for runners who prioritize comfort, protection, and durability over long efforts. Whether you’re chasing ultra distances, logging back-to-back training days, or exploring rugged terrain at a steady pace, the Ultra Glide 4 delivers luxurious underfoot feel with stable, all-surface traction to keep you moving with confidence.

At the core is Salomon’s signature Energy Foam midsole, which delivers soft, protective cushioning without losing the lively rebound needed for forward momentum. It’s plush enough to absorb impact over hours of running, while still feeling smooth and responsive. A sculpted RelieveSPHERE geometry in the heel helps reduce fatigue by easing transitions and minimizing lower leg strain over time.

Despite its high stack, the Ultra Glide 4 stays surprisingly stable, thanks to a wide platform and supportive midsole shaping. Beneath it all, a Contagrip® outsole with 4.5mm lugs grips reliably across everything from slick rock and muddy singletrack to dry fireroads and technical trails.

The upper has been refined for version 4 — it’s now lighter, more breathable, and dries faster, while still offering a secure hold via Salomon’s Quicklace® system and a handy lace garage. The fit is generally accommodating, especially in the forefoot, though some runners with wide feet may find the midfoot a bit snug.

Overall, the Ultra Glide 4 is the go-to trail shoe for comfort-focused runners looking to tackle ultra distances, technical terrain, or multi-hour adventures without sacrificing protection or grip. It’s a steady, durable companion for when you need a workhorse, not a race-day rocket.
