Summary

A great daily high mileage trail shoe built for comfort and non super aggressive trails. Manufacturing was an issue with my pair, but customer service with Salomon is top notch. I would say 4.5 stars because of their great customer support.

Salomon Ultra glide 2 Review

I picked these shoes up when I was looking for a new higher stack daily mileage trail shoe. A higher stack for this brand helps with making the miles easy. The shoe has a great lock down fit for security on everything I've thrown at it so far. Not a super high lug shoe, but I've had zero issues on rainy day mildly muddy trails so far. A slight rocker in shape helps propel you over the miles smoothly. My only issue with this shoe was the glue not holding part of the upper together by about mile 40 in them. It was only on one shoe, so I am assuming it is a manufacturer error. I reached out to Salomon and they gave me a credit for a replacement pair. Fast on customer service and I received another pair of shoes in less than a week after my original email to them. 

Upper flaw.

Glue not holding upper together.

So here is the issue with the one shoe. The glue goldi g that strip failed only after 40 miles. I was able to glue it back myself enough to make the shoes usable, but I also reached out to Salomon who did an amazing job at fixing my problem. They gave me a voucher for a new pair of shoes which I used on a different pair, and it shipped and arrived in less than a week. Great job by Salomon's customer support.
