Try at store first
I tried them in the store, and they did not disappoint, but something is missing that I can’t really put my finger on it. I have Nike Pegasus 4 Trail and they are perfect.

Comfortable
These shoes are light as a feather and comfortable. I love the color way and of course the speed lace is top notch. The only issue I’ve had is that I experience a bit of internal rotation when descending. I also own the S/LAB Genesis and haven’t experienced this problem. Not sure if I need to tighten the laces, drop half a size or if it’s an issue with the design.

Not For Jogging, For Running
I was waiting somewhat impatiently for these to get released as I LOVE the Ultra Glide 2 but feel like the midsole breaks down after about 175 miles — I'm 205 lbs and run with a lot of force. The S/Lab Ultra François has been super great and seems to have a midsole that outlasts the UG2, but I've been worried they will be discontinued. Thus, my eagerness for the new S/Lab UG. I will start with the fact that these shoes must be run in. Much like an expert ski, the shoes really need energy put into them to work the trail. If you are cruising or hiking, the rebound will bounce you around, and your feet will feel like they are ping-pong balls. As soon as you start driving them, they settle in and are awesome. The balance of responsiveness and cushion is well-designed. They don't feel as "fast" in foot placement as the UG2, but I'm guessing that's because of the plush rebound. I would say the fit is pretty similar to the UG2 more than the François Ultra outside of the sizing. I feel like they are about 1/4 to 1/3 of a size big. I tried on 11, 11.5 and 12. I normally wear a 12 in UG2, and the S/Lab UG felt too loose. I'm glad I settled on the 11.5. There is a little bit of a break-in that opens up the upper and insole to keep in mind when trying them on initially. For additional reference, the François Ultra seems 1/4 to 1/3 smaller than labeled. I want to get them out for a 50K or longer run to see if there are any pressure points or any issues with the spheres on the sole, but so far, 10-15 miles at a time have been pretty good.

Great shoe just needs a few tweaks
Just used this shoe on a 300 mile Adventure race, performed decent but was not a fan of the lacing system. I was unable to ever maintain a good heel lock and had already sized down. The cut out on the front of the shoe when you push off is noticeable at the big toe and just didn’t feel right. Two minor changes that I think would make this shoe amazing.

Super Soft Stride
The shoe has incredible cushion and rebound. I like everything about the shoe except for the tongue. The only reason I didn’t leave five stars is the tongue bunches up behind the toe box.

Going the Distance!
I haven't done a ton of running in these shoes yet, but the running I have done in them has impressed me. It's the kind of shoe within the first 5 miles that I can tell it is going to be my new favorite. I'm excited to take them on my next long run.

Trail Super Shoe of 25'
Salomon is leading the charge in 2025 with the release of this shoe. Compared to other trail super shoes with carbon plates this dual foam provides nearly identical energy return and bounce. Generous lugs and the traditional Salomon rubberized toe cap make this a great addition to the racing quiver. Excited to see how these hold up this season.
