Salomon Ultra Glide 3, designed for ultra-distance
Salomon launches the third version of its long-distance shoes, the Ultra Glide 3. This model comes with significant improvements over its predecessor, maintaining the essence of the French brand and committing to sustainability with recycled materials.
With an aesthetic similar to its premium model, the Salomon S-Lab Ultra Glide, but designed for a more popular audience, being one of the most versatile options in trail running.
Main features of the Salomon Ultra Glide 3
Starting with the upper part of the shoes, the upper of the Salomon Ultra Glide 3 is made with Engineered Mesh, a fabric that combines reinforced areas for greater support and durability where it's most needed, and more flexible areas for greater breathability. Thanks to this structure, the foot remains secure without losing comfort on the most demanding kilometers.
Key Feature
EndoFit System aims to perfectly fit the foot to provide greater stability.
Additionally, the Salomon Ultra Glide 3 features the quickLACE system, fast lacing laces that help you put them on and take them off faster, thanks to their small pocket on the tongue, they won't get caught on any branches.
The French brand is very environmentally conscious, manufacturing the upper with 50% recycled materials.
The midsole of the Salomon Ultra Glide 3 has a fairly high profile with 41 mm at the heel and 35 mm at the forefoot, which provides great impact absorption and ground isolation. Its design is quite peculiar and is composed of Energy Foam, a foam that ensures a soft and responsive ride.
Most striking aspects of these shoes:
Outsole with a wavy design throughout, an innovation that Salomon has dubbed Relieve Sphere.
What is their purpose?
This pattern helps relieve impact pressure and reduce foot fatigue when running, thus achieving greater comfort.
The compound used in the sole of the Ultra Glide 3 is All Terrain Contagrip, designed to offer good grip on hard or slippery surfaces. Its 4 mm lugs provide good grip, especially on compact and somewhat loose terrain.
Combining all these features makes for a perfect shoe to tackle a large number of kilometers, without losing comfort at any time.
The weight of these Salomon Ultra Glide 3 is 285 g for men's sizes and 255 g for women's sizes.
Who are these Salomon Ultra Glide 3 for?
The Salomon Ultra Glide 3 are ideal for long-distance runners, as their high profiles, cushioning, and Relieve Sphere technology offer great cushioning and protection over many kilometers.
Compact and slightly loose terrains will be where these Salomon Ultra Glide 3 perform best.
Among the competing models, we find the Brooks Caldera 8, Nike Zegama 2, or the New Balance Hierro v9.
