PositiveAfter four runs and about 30 miles they find the cushioning delivers for their joints and the stack manageable on technical terrain, though the foam feels a bit dead and the arch support lacking.

MixedWith 50 km on them they find the shoe very comfortable with good dry grip but weak wet grip, and the high side hurt their ankle bone on back-to-back days.

PositiveEarly runs and hikes in the Ultra Glide 4 feel really plush, like the Exodus Ultra v1.

PositiveA comfort shoe through and through: the soft but not mushy midsole and RelieveSphere insole really diffuse uneven impacts. It's almost more comfortable over sharp rocks than on flat ground, which makes it a big-miles shoe worth the gift-card budget.

PositiveLong miles and medium-to-wide feet? Could be your favourite: max cushion with an energetic ride, surprisingly light, and comfortable for high-mileage training, ultras and hiking. The thick upper holds heat and moisture, traction isn't perfect on wet rock, and low-volume feet can't cinch the midfoot.
