Expert Review Sources

  • RunRepeat : 88.6 / 100 — « Salomon clearly believes gravel running has huge potential, and after spending time with the Aero Glide 4 GRVL, we understand why. We found in the lab that the midsole delivers explosive bounce while keeping the ride stable and comfortable for long miles. We also really liked how naturally the outsole transitions from asphalt to gravel roads or easy trails without feeling awkward on either surface. The warm upper and close-fitting design will not suit everyone, especially during summer, but the overall ride feels so smooth and energetic that it becomes hard not to love this shoe. »

A smart choice for runners looking for a 9.2 mm drop and consistent performance all season long. »

A smart choice for runners looking for a 9.2 mm drop and consistent performance all season long. »
