Here’s what we wrote about the Salomon Aero Glide 2:
“A great road shoe for everyday enjoyment, with a true ‘plug and play’ spirit. Performance levels may be modest, but stability more than makes up for it.”
The new Aero Glide 3 stays true to that same philosophy: a genuine feel-good shoe, extremely pleasant to run in. Let’s be clear—it’s not a dead shoe. While it’s not built to rival pure racing models, it delivers a smooth, enjoyable ride for everyday training without overthinking it.
What stands out most is the fun bounce, driven by the midsole foam. Cushioning is generous, but not at the expense of foot stability—a major plus considering the shoe’s stack height. There’s a subtle forward push in the stride, but that’s more due to the foam than to the forefoot rocker. The result? Smooth, fluid transitions and an enjoyable ride.
You could call this shoe “soft” in the best way. Like running inside a comforter, it surrounds your foot with reassuring, cozy materials.
It’s also noticeably lighter than the previous version—we measured 245 grams compared to 270 grams in the same size. It feels light on the foot and disappears in the stride. You can speed up or slow down, and the Aero Glide 3 responds instantly, always adding a touch of soul to your daily runs.
We didn’t award the previous version, but this time we did: The Salomon Aero Glide 3 earns a First Award for being such an uplifting, well-crafted daily trainer.
