Salomon S/LAB ULTRA GLIDE 1.5 running shoes

The Salomon S/LAB ULTRA GLIDE 1.5 is a trail running shoe designed for ultra-distance efforts on mixed, all-mountain terrain. Built for runners tackling long-distance mountain runs and endurance events, this shoe prioritizes cushioning and control over pure speed.

The midsole features a dual-layer construction with energyFOAM and energyFOAM+ (with a PEBA core) that balances plush protection with responsive energy. The cushioning absorbs impacts on rocky terrain without feeling mushy or unstable, while maintaining liveliness on faster, flatter trail sections. Reverse Camber geometry enhances the heel-to-toe transition for a smooth, efficient stride. The Salomon S/LAB ULTRA GLIDE 1.5 excels at eating up long miles with deep cushioning that adapts well as fatigue sets in, making it suitable for ultra-distance training and race day.

The upper uses synthetic mesh with an integrated SensiFit system for midfoot lockdown and a gusseted tongue. The Quicklace system allows quick, secure cinching for easy transitions. A redesigned heel collar with softer, flexible knit material wraps the Achilles, eliminating the friction issues found in the original model and providing a secure, comfortable fit.

The All Terrain Contagrip outsole features 4mm lugs and relieveSPHERE geometry—circular indentations in the heel and forefoot that increase ground contact on harder surfaces. The Salomon S/LAB ULTRA GLIDE 1.5 handles buffed singletrack, dirt paths, rocky terrain, and dry rock slabs with reliable grip, though traction drops off in deep mud. The design enables smooth road-to-trail transitions.
