Salomon Ultra Glide

A major novelty that Salomon is proposing as one of its most important launches for 2021. The Salomon Ultra Glide is presented with the label of a mixed shoe for mountain running, which, thanks to its versatility, the runner can use both in training and in competition. Its maxim is to combine maximum comfort with maximum cushioning, a market segment in which the French brand lacks a reference model.

At last we can say that Salomon has decided to have a trail running shoe with maximum cushioning that will become a benchmark. These new Salomon Ultra Glide have been developed to offer the best comfort, fit and grip in a really light and efficient package. Its mission is focused on becoming the great ally of the trail runner to face any challenge in any kind of distance.

Salomon Ultra Glide, all its strengths

In the breakdown of materials and technologies that the product developers of the brand of Annecy have implemented in these new Ultra Glide, its strengths are summarized in the following headings:

Strides with greater reactivity.

At this point, Salomon has opted to implement a new midsole with the exclusive Energy Surge material. It is a compound that combines EVA foam with olefinic fiber, which translates into more durable cushioning and greater energy return, while adding lightness to the whole. A set that also features a new rocker structure to reinforce that feeling of more dynamic movements.

Optimal performance for long distances

A section that is very well worked with this combination of compounds and Contagrip and SensiFit technologies. The idea is focused on offering more powerful traction and greater durability on all types of terrain, but also without sacrificing the foot's support from the midsole to the lacing area. In this way, these Salomon Ultra Glide ensure a more personalized, secure and comfortable fit.

Superior comfort

The collar area uses a tighter design that provides the support you need to keep your foot in place.

On the other hand, the configuration of the upper is made with a breathable and open mesh with 3D design with the notoriety of Salomon's SensiFit system withits external and internal overlays for a more secure and comfortable fit, adapting better to the anatomical shape of the foot. With all this, the model goes up a notch in terms of breathability.

As it could not be otherwise, the Quicklace system of the French firm is also present in this model with the clear idea that these Salomon Ultra Glide are easy to put on, but also easy to remove with more resistant laces.

Technical specifications of the Salomon Ultra Glide

There is no doubt that these Salomon Ultra Glide would not be the same without the inclusion of the exclusive Profeel Film to cope with different types of terrain, adding comfort and stability.

The new Salomon Ultra Glide features a low profile with a 6 mmdrop (38.2 mm in the heel area and 32.2 mm in the forefoot). In addition, with an approximate weight of 260 grams, they are suitable for all types of terrain. Suitable for training and racing.

With the Ultra Glide, Salomon manages to compete with models in this same niche of the caliber of the Nike Wildhorse 7, the HOKA ONE ONE Challenger ATR 6 or the Altra Timp, among others, for example.

In short, the Salomon Ultra Glide is synonymous with comfort in motion. High performance with a successful combination of cushioning, responsiveness and fit, which also translates into a model that is able to provide safety and comfort in equal parts for any type of trail adventure.
