Why We Like The Salomon Glide Max Trail Running Shoe
For our off-road long hauls, we lace up the Glide Max Trail Running Shoe, which features a high stack height and an ample amount of Salomon's plush Energy Foam cushioning for long-distance support. A padded tongue and collar add all-around comfort, while a rockered geometry helps propel us forward mile after mile.

Just got these in hand and fit is great and really comfortable. Really good cushion and fit is better than other soloman's. I sized up a .5 size to accomidate swelling over long runs and is great!

Comfy, fit well, good traction, poor breathability
I have an Altra-shaped foot but I need a sneaker with drop, so I tried these. Surprisingly, these are wide enough for my feet. They are very comfy and soft, have a great traction on trails, and fit well. However, they do not breathe well at all. My feet were pretty soaked with sweat. When I wear my Brooks or Altras on the same trail and same temperature outside, my feet do not get as wet since they have better breathability. Also... the squeak! Like lots of other reviews have mentioned, my right sneaker SQUEAKS! I even took a video of it as evidence. The pic I attached is from the video. I've never had a sneaker that squeaked in my entire life - not sure how Salomon managed to accomplish this! I may return them - I cannot listen to the squeak for miles and miles on end.

better than i thought but!
Had the squeak to begin with which actually helped keep me awake during a 24 hour run. really comfy, good fit (not as narrow as sense ride) and very stable for the stack height. My olny disappointment which means i wont buy this again is that some of the lugs have worn down in the stangest of places after just 250 miles.

Great cushion with support. No squeaks.
- Familiarity:
- I've used it several times
- Size Bought:
- 9.5
- Height:
- 5' 9"
- Weight:
- 210
I purchased these because I had seen them before and liked the description. Then I saw them on sale. Fortunately for me there were no squeaks upon wearing them. The 9.5 fit me very well. I have somewhat of a small volume foot, slightly different sized, and often need to buy two sizes to get an accurate/usable fit. I suppose the extra cushioning made up for this and formed to my feet. I also like that the cleats on the shoe are short to moderate so they work great for every day use. I hope that Salomon keeps the factory going and continues this line.

The squeak is a real thing.
My left shoe makes a squeak every step. I can’t I hear it. Terrible for a shoe this costly. Can I return them?

Max Cush for Long Mountain Runs
This is the shoe I needed in my rotation. I use other salomon shoes for my mountain runs. But I had been wanting a wider base type max cush shoe. I really enjoy the regular laces as well. Perfect for long runs and recovery runs in the woods

Squeaks
The shoe was great for the first couple of weeks, but (just after the return window ended) one of the shoes started squeaking with every step. It's infuriating, like a squeaky toy taped to the bottom of one foot. Several well known Youtubers (such as Ginger Runner) have also dealt with this so it's not a one-off. Additionally, the (non-squeaking) shoe started rubbing against the outside of one ankle. Keep an eye (ear?) on the return window if you get these.

Squeakity squeak squeak
I wanted so badly to love this shoe. I'm a big fan of the Glide but found myself wanting more cushion, so when this was announced? Sign me up. And the initial few runs felt great. My third run in them was during a 12 hour race, and they felt smooth on the grassy, wooded trails - the perfect terrain for these shoes. The grip on them isn't great in mud, but frankly that's to be expected. Fast forward to a few weeks (and maybe a handful of additional runs later) and the right shoe squeaks. With every step. Step. Squeak. Step. Squeak. And it's not just me. Do a search for "squeak" and this model, and you'll find numerous reviews saying the same thing. The shoe develops a squeaking sound. It doesn't seem to be happening to everyone (or they did the reviews during the honeymoon period) but it's happening often enough that it's clearly an issue. Other than that, I wish the shoe had Quicklace (and the laces that come with the shoe are excessively long) and more padding in the tongue.
