Salomon Aero Glide 3
Salomon's max-cushion road cruiser with a tall slab of energyFOAM and a gently rockered ride. It is built for easy miles and long runs where comfort matters more than pace, with a wide base that keeps the high stack stable.
Reach for the Salomon Aero Glide 3 for everyday training miles, long runs and easy recovery days. A wide, stable base keeps it steady without stability hardware, so it's a good pick if you're mostly neutral but like a planted feel. The tall, soft stack favors comfort over ground feel. That's great for high mileage and bigger runners, less so for racing snappiness.
- Plush, protective cushioning for long easy miles
- Stable for a max-stack shoe
- Good value against $160+ max-cushion rivals
- Foam is not especially bouncy
- Too much shoe for uptempo days
