Salomon Ultra Glide 2 Reviews

Ran almost exclusively in the Ultra Glide 2 for two years; no shoe has ever held their heel so well.

The Ultra Glide 2 fits them best with zero heel slip and is very light, but went flat after 200 km.

A- overall (personal A): 'My go-to trail option right now.'

A chameleon of a trail shoe: adaptable on varied surfaces and a solid long-distance option with ample protection. Good for a long run or a dry, less technical 50-miler. Not for wet conditions.

Has put 400 km into the Ultra Glide 2 on dirt and sand tracks: comfy with decent traction, though it struggles in mud.

Over 30 miles of testing, including a 25k trail race and runs in snow, slush and mud, by a tester of about 215 lb. They loved the max cushioning, which stayed comfortable through the race without feeling mushy, and found the grip good on packed dirt and rooted trails with little outsole wear so far. Downsides: snow and water get in easily through the mesh, the lugs slip on snowy hills and are not recommended on loose gravel or sand, and the quick laces can jam with mud. Best as a warm-weather shoe.
