Expert Review Sources

  • Running Lab : 89.3 / 100 — « Designed for road runners seeking a dependable daily trainer option, the Salomon Aero Glide 3 delivers a smooth, dependable ride powered by its Energy Foam midsole. Its upper lockdown and outsole durability on road make it a standout contender at $180. »

Its balance of shock absorption and responsive rebound meets every expectation for daily trainer training. »
  • RunRepeat : 86.6 / 100 — « Third time’s a charm for the Aero Glide 3, as it finally earns a top spot in the maximalist category. We tested it in the lab and out on the road and found it lighter, bouncier, and more stable than before. In our view, Salomon landed a great mix of comfort, cushioning, and low weight, making it an easy pick for long runs. Still, the tapered fit may be too tight for many, and we think the upper and outsole could fall short in durability. »
