The Ultra Glide 4 targets ultra-distance trail runners who prioritize soft, plush protection over ground feel and aggressive grip. Its deep optiFOAM stack and relieveSPHERE pressure dispersal aim at all-day comfort, while the 4mm Contagrip lugs and 6mm drop keep it best on smoother-to-mixed trails rather than steep technical terrain. Improved durability supports high-mileage training weeks.
Soft, deeply cushioned and forgiving thanks to a deep optiFOAM stack and 6mm drop, favoring plush all-day comfort over responsiveness or ground feel.
Regular-width women's fit (sizes 5-11) with a simpler, lighter, breathable upper tuned for airflow and water evacuation; user data shows strong sizing and width satisfaction.
Ultra and long trail runs on mixed, non-technical terrain where cushioning and comfort matter most.
You want a nimble, precise shoe for steep technical trails, or need deep lugs for mud and loose terrain.
