Salomon Aero Glide 3 GRVL Reviews

They own the Aero Glide 3 GRVL and prefer its regular laces over the new quick laces on the 4, finding them more comfortable and easier to adjust.

After 44 miles: better step-in comfort and grip than the road version but firmer at first; after ~30 miles it softened into the ride they loved.

Instant comfort with soft padding and excellent lacing; a stable daily coming off injury.

Fits true to size and much better than the regular Aero Glide 3.

One 16.5-mile gravel-road run with about 2,000 ft of climbing. The midsole is soft and bouncy and felt especially good on descents, and the upper held the foot securely with no hot spots or blisters. Criticisms were limited breathability, a midsole that feels slightly heavy underfoot, and traction that could use more bite on steep, loose gravel climbs. Overall they found it encouraging and well built, a good pick for easy miles.

Somehow both substantial and light: sturdy and durable-feeling yet bouncy, and not clunky at speed. Most fun on easy urban-trail and city-park runs. It runs big, so check EU vs US sizing; the heel collar was stiff at first.
