Expert Review Sources

  • Running Lab : 88.6 / 100 — « Designed for trail runners seeking a dependable trail & montagne option, the Salomon Ultra Glide 2 strikes a convincing balance between impact protection and lively turnover (286 g, a 7.2 mm drop). Its upper lockdown and outsole durability on trail make it a standout contender at $150. »
  • The Running Collective : 79.3 / 100 — « Built by Salomon around the Energy Foam midsole, the Ultra Glide 2 impresses in real-world trail testing with its secure midfoot lockdown and consistent cushioning. A smart choice for runners looking for a 7.2 mm drop and consistent performance all season long. »
  • RunRepeat : 79.6 / 100 — « Don’t let anybody tell you otherwise—running fast and running comfortably aren’t supposed to be mutually exclusive in an ultra-distance race. Case in point: the Ultra Glide 2. As Salomon’s second crack at their cushioned trail line, the shoe addresses the v1’s stability issues and it's softer than before. In our tests, we found it to be a fantastic versatile runner that could keep the Speedgoat and Xodus Ultra on their toes. »
