FiberCore® midsole
Glide’s FiberCore® midsole has a honeycomb structure. Its open cells flex and absorb impact at landing, then return that energy as your foot rolls forward. The result is a smooth, efficient stride that feels light on long runs and stays stable at higher pace.
- Cushioned, joint-friendly landings
- Responsive, energetic toe-off
- Smooth heel-to-toe transitions
- Stable and light at any pace
- Optimal for
- Running, All-terrain
This info tells you the ideal use for the shoe. But the shoe is also suitable for other uses like walking, hiking, etc. Don't be too strict on this.
- Lacing
- Standard
Standard lacing is the most common lacing method. It is easy to adjust and provides a good fit.
- Heel to toe
- 6 mm / 7 mm
The heel to toe drop is the difference in height between the heel and the toe of the shoe. Higher drop transfers the load more from your ankles to your knees and hip. Women's value first, men's second.
- Weight
- 245 g / 290 g
Weight varies between sizes. In this value we use the weight of the shoe in size 8 for women and size 10 for men. Women's value first, men's second.

Forgot I had them on
— Anna VauhtiI bought the Glide for easy runs and ended up wearing them all day too. Light, breathable, and still comfortable after 200 miles.
Solid under the bar
— Miko LukaThe Squat keeps my feet flat and stable on heavy lifts. No wobble, no slipping, and they look good enough to wear home from the gym.
Trail to tarmac
— Sara T.My route goes from forest paths to city streets, and the Traverse handles both. Good grip on wet roots, and still smooth on asphalt.
Comfort that lasts
— Jonas MyersAfter six months of daily wear, the insole still feels like day one. I’d like more color options, but I’m already eyeing a second pair.
