Trail shoes for runners who like support, long-distance running, and staying on their feet for a long time Salomon Ultra Glide 2
The first trail shoe from the brand that broke the image of Salomon shoes being made for elite athletes. With a thin sole, lightweight design, and a focus on agility ... it is now more user-friendly for general trail runners, with a thick sole, good support, lightweight feel, and comfortable running.
.
1) The upper fabric is softer and more flexible than before, making it comfortable to wear without squeezing the forefoot.
2) The Energy Surge midsole foam is the same as the previous model but has been tuned to be firmer. It still feels comfortable when landing, is not harsh on concrete roads, and has a wide base for a stable foot placement, making it comfortable for ultra-distance running.
3) The tongue is higher than the previous model, but there is nothing noteworthy about this point.
After trying them for road training and wearing them in a 21K race at Phromlok Trail, I still like the rolling feeling. This model's foam absorbs impact well when landing, with no harshness. The Energy Surge foam, with a 32mm heel and 26mm forefoot thickness, provides a soft yet firm feel, and a 6mm drop. The Reverse Camper outsole shape makes the foot roll quite smoothly, so I feel like I can keep going at a steady pace and enjoy the run.
The grip of this model is not particularly outstanding, as the 3.5mm Contragrip lugs, the brand's technology, focus more on agility and comfort.
The fit of the Salomon Ultra Glide 2 is quite good, both in terms of securing the instep and heel ... I personally like the Lock lace because I feel that this type of lace provides a better fit than tied laces, and this model also has a lace pocket, making it look very neat ... The heel lock also works well, whether on flat ground or uphill, it holds the heel well.
This race required wading through water frequently, so I tested the drainage and the upper fabric ... Salomon Ultra Glide 2 It has a TPU frame wrapping around the sides, with no drainage holes, so it drains slowly. As for the upper fabric, it does not feel like it absorbs water.
In summary, the Salomon Ultra Glide 2 is a trail shoe that is easy to run in, requires no break-in, and can be worn for both short and long distances, focusing on comfort rather than racing ... This model is available for trying on at the Runnercart store on Sukhumvit 22.
