SalomonUltra Glide 3

Verdict

The Salomon Ultra Glide 3 is a solid performer — a long distance trail scoring 83/100 in SoleHunt's data-driven evaluation, drawing on 0 consumer reviews and 0 independent expert tests. Tipping the scales at 290g, it is standard weight for a long distance trail. The 36mm heel stack — a generous stack — delivers a comfortably cushioned ride at 26 HC, returning 63% of impact energy and feeling responsive and lively underfoot. Geometrically, the Ultra Glide 3 runs on a mid 8mm drop that works with most running gaits, with a 28mm forefoot stack that maintains the traditional heel-elevated geometry runners with tight calves often prefer. Fit-wise, the toebox measures 95mm — roomy, with space for wider feet and swelling on long runs — and the upper comes in a standard width. Snug Sensifit hold. Standard to slightly narrow. It is designed for trail 50k+, long mountain days, mixed terrain, high daily mileage, and performs less well for technical rocky terrain or wide feet.
