Salomon Aero Glide 3 Reviews

420 miles: the most versatile daily trainer they've used, recovery to tempo, bouncy and fun.

Retiring them at 650 km and buying the same again; an unbelievable bouncy daily trainer for all distances.

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

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

Has 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.

About 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.

Both 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.

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

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

After 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.
