ULTRA GLIDE 4
ULTRA GLIDE 4 is a high-cushion trail shoe for long distances and ultra-trail use. Compared with ULTRA GLIDE 3, its simpler upper is lighter and more breathable, with improved water evacuation and durability. A deep optiFOAM stack and relieveSPHERE geometry disperse repeated impact, while 4 mm All Terrain Contagrip lugs grip wet, dry, hard and loose ground. Engineered Mesh, EndoFit and Quicklace secure the fit.

Weight measurement and plate details
- Weight note
- Salomon Japan official men's product page lists 285g. RUN-WALK Style exact product page also describes the men's model and confirms the same stack/drop context but does not list a complete weight value.
- Plate note
- The exact Salomon Japan and US product pages give detailed construction specifications including optiFOAM, relieveSPHERE, All Terrain Contagrip, Engineered Mesh, EndoFit, and Quicklace, without identifying a plate, rod, or carbon structure. The two official regional pages support carbon_plate false under the complete-spec policy.
