In Testing

My first impression when putting on these shoes was how lightweight they felt on my foot.
I know that the Salomon brand is well known for their trail shoes and clothing. My curiosity only grew when they released a road shoe, and I didn’t want to miss out on this opportunity to try them! I have got to say they have won me with the Aero Glide 4. They fit true to size, with a roomy toe box and a secure, locked-in heel.

What really makes the Aero Glide stand out is the foam. They deliver a noticeable bounce and responsiveness that makes every stride feel energetic and efficient. Thanks to the Aero Glide’s lightweight design I was able to run a little more effortlessly, slightly faster and longer without feeling fatigued. This has been a great addition to my shoe rotation.

Verdict

The Aero Glide 4 is plush and lightweight in design, yet there’s a stability I really love, that always makes me feel confident, making it perfect for long runs. I’d recommend this shoe to those looking for a neutral yet stable shoe. When logging in long miles, you’ll benefit from the comfortable cushioning.
