The OMM Ultra Shoe Blue/Orange is the shoe for those who prioritize comfort, reliability and durability during long trail runs. It is designed for runners who run longer – where cushioning, protection and a stable feel become more important the more hours you are out there.
The Ultra Shoe differs from the OMM Trail Shoe and OMM Fell Shoe in its more cushioned construction. OMM specifies a stack height of 30mm and a drop of 8mm , providing a more protective platform for longer distances.
The midsole is made of lightweight EVA and is designed to balance comfort, cushioning and energy return, making the shoe suitable for everything from long distance runs and mountain running to ultra-running, fastpacking and technical mixed terrain where the foot needs to stay together over time.
The two-layer upper construction is designed for long-distance comfort. A softer interior reduces irritation, while a more durable exterior provides structure and durability. Combined with the OMM X-Lace system, it creates a smooth and secure fit over the foot without unnecessary pressure points.
Underneath the shoe sits a Vibram® LiteBase outsole with MegaGrip and Traction Lugs . OMM describes the outsole as being engineered for grip, light weight and durability over mixed terrain.

The OMM Ultra Shoe is built for runners who will be out for long periods of time. The increased cushioning and protective platform make the shoe especially relevant when the load builds up over time.
The shoe is suitable when you want:
More comfort than in a low and aggressive fell shoe
More protection than in a minimalist trail shoe
Stable feel on long runs
Good balance between cushioning and running feel
A shoe for many hours on mixed surfaces
OMM describes the Ultra Shoe as a shoe that will keep performing when it really needs to – with comfort, control and reliability deep into long efforts.
The Ultra Shoe has a lightweight EVA midsole and a stack height of 30mm . The higher platform provides more cushioning than OMM's more direct Trail and Fell models.
The midsole is designed to:
Absorb repeated stress
Reduce fatigue during longer workouts
Provide protection against harder surfaces
Maintain a responsive feel
Support an effective step over time
This makes the shoe particularly interesting for ultra running, longer mountain runs, long trail runs and training days where comfort must last from start to finish.
The upper's two-layer construction combines a softer interior with a more durable exterior. OMM describes the construction as designed to reduce friction and irritation, while maintaining structure and resilience over many miles.
This makes the shoe suitable for:
Long sessions where your feet swell
Ultra running
Mountain running
Mixed terrain
Multi-day adventure
Runners who want comfort without the shoe feeling loose
The OMM X-Lace system distributes lace pressure evenly across the foot. The goal is to create stability and lockdown without localized pressure points. This is especially important during long workouts, where small pressure points can grow into larger problems over time.
For the best fit:
Lace the shoe evenly from the forefoot to the ankle.
Avoid pulling too hard over the forefoot.
Lock the heel without creating pressure over the instep.
Test the fit in uphill and downhill running.
Adjust after a few kilometers when your foot has warmed up.
Underneath the shoe is a Vibram® LiteBase outsole with MegaGrip and Traction Lugs. OMM states that the outsole is designed for grip, light weight, durability and stability over mixed terrain.
The MegaGrip rubber is designed for reliable grip on both wet and dry surfaces. OMM describes it as a rubber compound that balances friction and durability on rocks, trails and mixed surfaces.
LiteBase technology reduces outsole weight by reducing the thickness of the sole, while maintaining durability and grip. This is especially valuable on long distances where every gram counts over time.
The Traction Lug design increases the contact area with the ground and contributes to stability on loose, mixed and compact surfaces.
the OMM Ultra Shoe is best suited for:
Gravel road
Packed path
Forest path
Mountain trail
Mixed trail
Easier technical terrain
Drier mountains and rocks
Long sessions where comfort is a priority
Independent testers describe the Ultra Shoe as a versatile long-distance shoe that performs well on gravel, dry trails, mixed terrain, and even shorter sections of road. The tester notes, however, that the 4mm studs make the shoe less suited to deep mud than a pure fell shoe.
For really wet, steep and muddy mountain or fell conditions, the OMM Fell Shoe is a more specialized choice.
The OMM Ultra Shoe is available in both Regular and Regular+ . This makes it easier to choose a fit based on foot width and intended use. The OMM product page shows both width options and sizes from UK 4 to UK 12.
Suitable for those who want a more standardized and secure trail fit.
Suitable for those who want a little more space, especially on longer sessions where your feet can swell.
When running ultras and mountain running, it can often be wise to have a little more room than in a pure competition shoe, but the shoe should still sit stably in the heel and midfoot.

Rinse with lukewarm water if necessary.
Do not use a washing machine.
Dry at room temperature.
Avoid radiators, drying cabinets and direct heat.
Remove the insole when drying.

Proper care extends the lifespan of both the upper, midsole and outsole.
The Ultra Shoe is designed for long-distance comfort, not as a pure mud specialist.
8mm drop may feel stable and familiar to many runners, but should be tested if you usually run in low-drop shoes.
Regular+ is a good option if you want more space on longer sessions.
Vibram MegaGrip provides good all-round grip, but deep mud often requires coarser studs.
Always test the shoes on a long run before a competition.
