PositiveNearly 200 miles in the Aero Glide 3 and loves it; expects another 200.

Positive500 miles including multiple ultras give it a special place for them; they'd pick it over the MagMax 2 for its lighter weight.

PositiveHas 250 miles on the Aero Glide 3 and now uses it for daily training, finding it a really solid all-round shoe that should reach 400–450 miles.

PositiveAbout 100 miles covering easy runs, a long run, tempo work, hills and track intervals. They found the foam light and bouncy with no loss of bounce, and the outsole gripped wet pavement well. The upper felt short and low-volume at first, then opened up, so they needed a lace lock to stop some heel slip, and the heel transition felt clunky for the first 20-30 miles. They call it a do-it-all trainer, but not for narrow feet or anyone needing real stability.

PositiveBoth testers had plenty of miles in it, including lots of easy running, and the cushioning held up with the outsole still looking new. They liked the bouncy, light, responsive foam and a roomy upper that breathes with no hot spots. Criticisms were unfinished-looking details such as the tongue, the $160 price, and a wide platform that one tester thought could feel too big on narrow feet (the other, with narrow feet, had no issue). They scored it 13 out of 15 and see it as a do-it-all daily trainer.

PositiveHundreds of miles at all paces in the Aero Glide 3: a fantastic training workhorse; the first pair lasted 350 miles.

Positive“A real contender” (A- overall): high-performing and protective. The fit stabilized slightly wider after 20 miles, with only slight wear at 50 miles.

PositiveAfter 1,053 km he calls it the best daily trainer for him and rebought it (Grvl version). The wide toe box suits long runs. It fits roomy, so narrow feet should size down.

PositiveRated 9.5/10 and “one of the biggest surprises” he’s run in: soft, light and bouncy with a durable upper, and no foam breakdown at 400 km. The grippy rubber wears fast, and the heel feels loose for walking.
Runners describe the Aero Glide 3 as a light, bouncy daily trainer that many find versatile from easy to tempo paces, with several reporting 350 to 500 miles of use. Fit is the main variable: some find the midfoot narrow, while others find it roomy or long and size down.
