Comfortable with a secure heel hold, but the midsole went flat or delaminated for several.

PositiveA 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.

Positive377 km (about 234 miles) of trail running, including a 100-mile race worn start to finish without changing shoes or socks. The heel cushion hadn't broken down and there was no sole separation, though some front lugs broke off and the mesh started to fray. Downsides: the low lace keeper pressed on the top of the foot around 52 km (they doubt it is a design fault), and the hard toe box caused toenail trouble on technical mountain downhills. Their verdict is five out of five, a workhorse for flatter races.

MixedRaced two mountain marathons in the Ultra Glide 2 and enjoyed it, but wishes the midsole were more resilient with more traction.
Most runners find the Salomon Ultra Glide 2 comfortable, with a secure heel hold and enough cushion for roads and many trails. Durability is the main complaint, as the midsole went flat or delaminated for several runners. Grip in mud was also called weak by some.
