Expert Review Sources

  • The Running Collective : 93.4 / 100 — « Built by Salomon around the Energy Foam midsole, the Aero Glide 4 strikes a convincing balance between impact protection and lively turnover (255 g, a 11.7 mm drop). Its balance of shock absorption and responsive rebound meets every expectation for daily trainer training. »
  • RunRepeat : 92.6 / 100 — « Salomon may still be known mainly for trail shoes, but we think the Aero Glide 4 proves the brand is now a serious player on the road too. We found in the lab outstanding energy return, massive shock absorption, and a highly-cushioned ride that feels far more premium than its price suggests. In our experience, the narrow forefoot and high-drop geometry will not suit everyone, but for many runners this feels like a true under-the-radar standout and one of the few real alternatives to the EVO SL. »
  • Runnea : 91.2 / 100 — « Designed for road runners seeking a dependable daily trainer option, the Salomon Aero Glide 4 impresses in real-world road testing with its secure midfoot lockdown and consistent cushioning. A smart choice for runners looking for a 11.7 mm drop and consistent performance all season long. »
