Who it's for
Reach for the Salomon Aero Volt 2 for tempo days and intervals and everyday training miles. It's a neutral shoe, best for runners with an efficient stride who don't need pronation support. Expect a firm, low-to-the-ground feel that rewards fast turnover but offers less protection on long efforts.
