For trail runners seeking a blend of DURABILITY, protection, and outsole directional grip, the Adidas Soulstride Ultra has emerged as a compelling option. But does it deliver on its promises? Let's delve into the upper, midsole, and outsole to see if this shoe hits the right stride.
Upper: First Impressions Count
The Soulstride Ultra boasts a high-durability engineered mesh upper, with strategic overlays offering both structure and support. Initial impressions are pleasing: the fit is snug, yet accommodating for a forefoot strike, thanks to a wider toe box. The plush tongue is a significant improvement over previous models, providing a soft and secure hold without feeling bulky. Bountiful padding around the collar adds further support around the ankle, preventing irritation even on long runs.
Midsole: Light Boost/Strike for Long ULTRA Miles
Ah, the heart of the shoe. The Soulstride Ultra utilizes Adidas' signature Light Boost AND LightStrike material (for added durability), a lighter and more responsive iteration of the classic Boost. This translates to a plush, yet energetic ride, absorbing impact effectively while propelling you forward with each step. The rocker shape encourages a smooth rolling motion, perfect for devouring miles on packed-out or loose gravel trails.
Outsole: Gripping Every Step (Directional Lugs)
The Continental rubber outsole with its aggressive lugs provides excellent traction on a variety of terrains. Whether you're navigating loose gravel, wet roots, or even light snow, the Soulstride Ultra bites down confidently. The multi-directional lugs offer a good grip on both uphill and downhill sections, inspiring confidence for tackling diverse trails.
Durability seems on par with other Adidas trail shoes, holding up well to moderate wear and tear. However, for runners tackling highly technical or rocky terrain, a more aggressive lug pattern might be necessary, we're talking very technical terrain (4+mm lugs)
Final Verdict: A Comfortable Cruiser for Most Trails
The Adidas Soulstride Ultra shines as a versatile trail shoe for runners seeking a comfortable and dependable companion for moderate distances on packed trails. The Light Boost midsole delivers a stout ride, while the upper offers a secure and breathable fit. The outsole grips confidently on most surfaces.
However, heavier runners or those tackling technical terrain might find the midsole a tad soft and the outsole lacking ultimate aggressiveness. But for the majority of trail runners seeking a comfortable and smooth ride, the Soulstride Ultra stands as a compelling option.

Let's talk about the tech shirt you were wearing!! Love it!❤
I like that one as well. For what ever reason I dislike white - so other colors in the store may increase revenue....
Well, for Georgia boy all that snow is so beautiful
Love that shirt…. Rockin’ the color wave!
I dig the emphasis on lug geometry! Other brands should pay attention to this.
Going pick to up the Norda 002 I love the 001 and want to give the 002 a try up/down the mountains
😮 OMG NOT THE GLASSES MOVE!!!!
Seth! What about the Adidas Agravic Speed Ultra 🥳 We need a review of the shoes Tom Evans uses to win Western States 🔥🙌
YOURE THE GOAT SETH . YOURE A YOUNG MAN AND YOUR CAREER IS JUST GETTING STARTED- KEEP GOING ; THE BREAKTHROUGHS ARE WAITING FOR YOU.
Nice glasses Seth🤓
My first trail shoe bougth this year is a Salomon Ultra Glide 2, for your recommendation. I will get them on monday, hopefully, so I cant wait to see them and try on a running. I will let you know my feelings and experience about em after a couple of courses.
Thanks forthe shoe reviews. Can you please do a video on trainjng. Sprints, tempo, threshold, ext. thanks
I'm really looking forward to the adidas TERREX Agravic Speed (2024 model) which is model just under the plated Agravic Speed Ultra. I think/hope that the Speed will be a fun, nimble, and essentially the upgrade to the current TERREX Speed Ultra (my favorite trail shoe to date)... Boy, these names get confusing.
QD: We don't have a lot of trails in Dallas, so I don't but trail shoes too often. Currently, I have the Salomon Sense ride 5s, and I'll see how they do for running this summer. But I would love to try something from ASICS. Nice glass, by the way!
Hey Seth,
what about a review for the Salomon Pulsar Trail Pro 2? I would love to know the differences compared to the Slab Pulsar 2.
Nice review as always!
Ironically, the first trail shoe purchase of the year was the little brother of this shoe, the Soulstride Flow. Got some great discounts applied to it.
What model of Puma shoe is on your left side in the glass shelf?
Hope you're doing well seth! God bless my brother.
Let’s go 🎉
qd: i'm set with trail shoes atm, but: hoka torrent 4
QD: Altra Timp 5
I don’t understand the purpose of a really tall, firm shoe for the trail. Plenty of firm choices at a lower stack, lower weight and certainly lower price.
Looking good brother! This could be a Pikes Peak Marathon shoe for me! I've got a trial 100k in 21 days! Also I NEED THAT SHIRT BRO! It is FIRE as the kids say! Also Looking stellar in the glasses my friend! DGR STRONG! 🔥💪🏽🤓
😎😎😎
Just wait for it to pop up at the outlet for half off🤷🏽♂️ then it will be worth the buy…
QD: With all of the variety of Salomon shoes just released on Running Warehouse, I’m leaning towards Salomon being my first trail shoe purchase of 2024
Grandpa glasses are reflecting badly :)
I purchased these bad boys, so when my fibula heals, I have something to look forward to!
