Expert Review Sources

  • RunRepeat : 79.6 / 100 — « The Salomon Ultra Glide 4 stands out as one of the most unusual trail shoes we’ve tested lately. We found that the combination of the towering stack height, plush foam, and aggressive rocker delivers a smooth and protective ride that performs especially well on easier trails and long-distance runs. We also really liked the premium upper and secure foothold. However, the low energy return, above-average weight, and sharp toebox make this a niche-focused shoe rather than a broadly appealing trail option. »
  • Solereview : 78.5 / 100 — « Designed for trail runners seeking a dependable trail & montagne option, the Salomon Ultra Glide 4 delivers progressive forefoot flex and evenly distributed Energy Foam compression on the mechanical test bench. A smart choice for runners looking for a 7.5 mm drop and consistent performance all season long. »
  • Running Shoes Guru : 77.7 / 100 — « Built by Salomon around the Energy Foam midsole, the Ultra Glide 4 delivers a smooth, dependable ride powered by its Energy Foam midsole. Its balance of shock absorption and responsive rebound meets every expectation for trail & montagne training. »
