Expert Review Sources

  • RunRepeat : 81.6 / 100 — « The Salomon Aero Glide 2 excels as a no-frills option—comfortable, stable, and well-crafted, ticking all the boxes for a dependable daily trainer that delivers consistent performance throughout the year. We were impressed by its high-quality upper and grippy outsole, ensuring many miles of reliable running. However, we found that it's a bit rigid torsionally, and the cushioning doesn’t quite match the energy return and fun ride of its similarly-priced competitors. »
  • OutdoorGearLab : 79.6 / 100 — « In Salomon's daily trainer lineup, the Aero Glide 2 combines long-distance underfoot protection (a 10 mm drop) with a breathable, secure upper. Its upper lockdown and outsole durability on road make it a standout contender at $180. »
  • Solereview : 78.9 / 100 — « Pairing Salomon's Energy Foam platform with a 10 mm drop, the Aero Glide 2 shows strong torsional stability and consistent impact attenuation in lab testing (270 g, a 10 mm drop). Its balance of shock absorption and responsive rebound meets every expectation for daily trainer training. »
