Salomon  Aero Glide 4 GRVL Trail-Running Shoes - Men's

Just got these from REI and my first 4 mile run was so comfortable and peppy. The midsole foam is such a nice balance of responsive bounce and soft feel but not squishy. I had to try them after watching so many positive review videos. They run a tad narrow but the length is true to size. I run between a 10 or 10.5 and I got the 10 and they fit well. The laces take a little time to get used to but once secured they stay in place perfectly. I usually like shoes with a lower drop but the 8 mm feels more like 6 to me. Great shoe for travel when you might get to run on trails or road.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] These shoes look great! Very comfortable and maximum cushioning yet still supportive while jogging a mixed terrain hiking trail. Like my other Salomon shoes, these have a quick lacing system that holds tight and is quick to put on and take off. At first I was worried about having enough stability because of how much cushion these have but somehow these shoes provided great lateral support while taking them out for a jog on a moderate hiking trail. Love these shoes so far!

Took these out to a 10K race in Pioneertown, CA this past weekend and LOVED them.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] After logging approximately 60 miles in the Salomon Aero Glide 4 GRVL, I’ve come away impressed by its versatility and overall performance across multiple surfaces. Fit & Comfort The shoe fits true to size and strikes an excellent balance for runners with slightly wider feet. While not marketed as a wide shoe, it provides enough room to remain comfortable even as feet expand during longer runs. The toe box volume is particularly well-executed—spacious without being loose—eliminating any issues with rubbing or bunching. Midsole Performance The Optifoam 2 midsole delivers a soft, cushioned ride while maintaining a stable and responsive feel. This combination makes the shoe especially well-suited for longer distances, helping to reduce fatigue in both legs and feet. Upper & Lockdown The upper material wraps the foot in a sock-like fit that feels breathable, lightweight, and secure. The gusseted tongue adds to the overall comfort and stays in place throughout runs, while providing just the right amount of padding. The lacing system is equally effective, offering a strong lockdown without creating pressure points or discomfort across the top of the foot. Outsole & Versatility Equipped with a durable Contagrip outsole, the shoe performs reliably across road, gravel, and light trail conditions. After 60 miles of varied use, traction and durability remain strong, reinforcing its all-terrain capability. Minor Drawback If there’s one improvement to be made, it would be the addition of a heel pull tab or back strap to make putting the shoe on easier. Overall Impression The Salomon Aero Glide 4 GRVL stands out as a highly versatile and capable running shoe. Whether you’re transitioning between road and gravel or mixing in light trails, it handles each environment with ease while maintaining comfort and performance over longer distances.

I had the previous version and loved them, yet somehow these are even better! Plenty of cushion for road, with just the right amount of grip for hard packed single track and fire roads! Despite the high stack, these shoes are plenty stable. The new quick lace system is easy to set up, and my shoes stayed snug the entire time without needing to adjust. I could not be more stoked on this new addition to my trail running arsenal!

I have been using these for a month now, and they have been my go-to trainer. I use these for trail runs, long runs, and tempos on the road and gravel. The tread feels very nice on trails and even road runs. The tread has barely been worn down after 200 miles on them. Overall, a very responsive, cushioned and durable daily trainer.

The perfect combination of road and trail shoe specifically designed for gravel. Using this shoe in spring when there's a ton of gravel on road shoulders from all the salt and sand strewn all winter is absolutely perfect. This shoe is comfortably cushioned AND completely effective.

Comfortable and bouncy, I have well cushioned and max cushioned shoes, but this definitely is the best so far. The upper also adds lightness and breathability to the shoe. This one is a no brainer, could use them for long standing and walking miles

I’m really happy with the performance and feel of this shoe. It has a great balance of comfort, support, lightweight design, and just the right amount of stability. Huge bonus that they come with quick laces already installed. Highly recommend.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I’ve had these for about a month now and run several times a week mostly on trails and have found these are great. They are lightweight and comfortable to run in without the instability I have felt in other trail shoes with a thicker sole.
