Expert Review Sources

  • RunRepeat : 77.6 / 100 — « We found the Salomon Aero Glide to be an impressive neutral daily trainer—ideal for heel strikers with its high drop and notable heel cushioning. In our lab tests, we really liked its massive rubber coverage on the outsole and the breathable upper, paired with a subtly rockered ride. However, we noted a few drawbacks: the forefoot lacks sufficient cushioning, and the price point is slightly higher compared to its competitors. »
  • The Running Collective : 74.6 / 100 — « Built by Salomon around the Energy Foam midsole, the Aero Glide delivers a smooth, dependable ride powered by its Energy Foam midsole. Its balance of shock absorption and responsive rebound meets every expectation for daily trainer training. »
  • Doctors of Running : 74.9 / 100 — « Built by Salomon around the Energy Foam midsole, the Aero Glide reduces plantar flexor fatigue through progressive longitudinal stiffness (a 11 mm drop, 264 g). Its upper lockdown and outsole durability on road make it a standout contender at €150. »
