Salomon Ultra Glide 4 - Your long-distance trail companion

The Salomon Ultra Glide 4 transforms comfort on long trail adventures, pairing maximal cushioning with an even lighter, more breathable construction than its predecessor. Designed for runners covering extended distances across varied terrain, this evolved trail shoe offers enhanced performance whilst keeping your feet cooler as temperatures climb.

Distance-Ready Cushioning

OptiFOAM midsole technology combined with substantial stack height delivers plush underfoot comfort that stays consistent through long efforts. Salomon's relieveSPHERE system distributes pressure uniformly across your foot, minimising fatigue during those extended trail outings where each kilometre matters. Weighing just 255g, it's lighter than before without sacrificing the protective cushioning that distance running demands.

Confident Traction Across All Terrain

Contagrip outsoles featuring 4mm lugs offer dependable grip on mixed surfaces—from compact trails and loose scree to technical rocky terrain. The hardwearing rubber compound holds firm in both dry and damp conditions, providing security on steep descents and challenging technical sections.

Breathable Design for Every Climate

The reimagined upper focuses on ventilation and water management, maintaining cooler feet in hot, humid conditions whilst enabling rapid drainage on sodden trails. This lighter, airier construction enhances comfort across long distances without compromising on durability or protection.
