Who is the Ultra Glide 4 for?

Runners who prioritize comfort over long distances on trails. It suits daily trail miles and ultra-style efforts where cushioning matters more than ground feel.

How does it differ from the Ultra Glide 3?

Salomon positions the Ultra Glide line around max cushioning and a smooth rocker ride. The 4 keeps that formula with a soft, high-stack midsole and All Terrain Contagrip outsole; check the specific changes in stack, upper and weight if you are upgrading from the 3.

Is it good for technical trails?

It handles mixed terrain and moderate trails well thanks to the Contagrip outsole. On very rocky, steep or technical ground, the tall soft stack gives less precision than a firmer, lower trail shoe.

What is the drop and weight?

A 6mm drop and a listed weight of about 10oz. That is light for a max-cushion trail shoe, though weight varies by size.

Can I use it for road running?

It is a trail shoe, so the lugged outsole and soft stack are tuned for dirt and mixed surfaces. Short road stretches to the trailhead are fine, but dedicated road shoes roll more smoothly on pavement.

What kind of fit does it have?

Salomon describes a secure, comfortable fit for stability on uneven terrain. Try your usual Salomon trail size and allow room in the toe box for long descents.
