Expert Review Sources

  • RunRepeat : 88.6 / 100 — « The Salomon Aero Blaze 4 GRVL is a dream shoe for gravel runners who want a do-it-all workhorse for everything from easy runs to interval workouts. We were blown away by the midsole, which delivered outstanding energy return in our lab tests. In our view, the foam is the main reason to buy the shoe, especially at such a competitive price. On the other hand, the narrow, low-volume upper and limited airflow could be dealbreakers for some runners. These compromises are worth considering, but the overall package remains extremely hard to beat for the money. »
