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.

Found the Aero Glide 3 too roomy but loved the bouncy midsole.

After 113 miles: light, stable and bouncy at easy-plus paces with reliable grip, but an overly roomy upper and not great for recovery runs.

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.

The Aero Glide 3 is comfortable and light with a soft yet responsive foam, good up to tempo; the upper is roomy for their narrow foot.

Ten miles into the Aero Glide 3: crazy foam and very light, though the fit is a bit tight.

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

Still a favourite daily trainer of 2025 after 100 miles. The cushion has held up, but heel rubber wore significantly by 80 miles, exposing foam (others report the same). The fit is roomy.
