If your idea of a good weekend involves disappearing into the woods for hours, the Salomon Ultra Glide 4 needs to be on your radar. Salomon took their most comfort-focused trail shoe and managed to trim the weight while actually making it breathe better. It’s designed to handle long miles and mixed terrain without making your feet feel like they’ve gone through a meat grinder.
The secret sauce is the combination of optiFOAM cushioning and a new geometry designed to kill pressure points. It gives you a forgiving, plush ride that stays consistent from mile one to mile twenty. Underneath, you’re getting the legendary All Terrain Contagrip outsole with a mix of 4mm and 6mm lugs, meaning it’ll bite into dirt and gravel just as easily as it grips slick rock.
At just around 10 ounces, these are impressively light for how much protection they offer. The updated mesh upper sheds water fast and keeps your feet cool, while the signature QuickLACE system means you aren’t fumbling with knots in the mud. If you want a shoe that lets you focus on the scenery instead of your aching arches, get this one now.
