MixedAfter 82 km on gravel, the Aero Glide 3 GRVL is a light, bouncy, max-cushioned long-run shoe, but the upper is thick, hot and holds water, and it runs slightly long.

PositiveScores 8.6-9.13: clearly a 'road' shoe with light-trail ability, a fine choice for smooth dirt, park runs and rail trails, and an easy grab for regular routes. Deductions for underfoot softness and instability. Shallow lugs aren't for real trail.
