Expert lab tests and user reports indicate high build quality, a robust outsole with Salomon's CONTAGRIP compound, and minimal wear after 150-275 miles. The upper and outsole are both noted for longevity, though no shoe is immune to eventual wear. Durability is above average for a max-cushion trainer.
The Salomon Aero Glide 2 is widely regarded by experts and users as a highly cushioned, comfortable daily trainer best suited for easy to moderate paces and high-mileage efforts. Its plush midsole and breathable upper make it ideal for daily training and long runs, with multiple reviewers highlighting its performance for marathon training and extended distances. The shoe's rolling ride and stable platform further support its use for base building and recovery runs, though its weight and moderate responsiveness limit its suitability for tempo runs and racing, where lighter, more propulsive shoes are preferred. While the outsole offers excellent grip for road conditions, the design and cushioning are not intended for trail use, resulting in very low suitability for off-road or technical terrain.
Ideal for Best for neutral runners of any experience level who prioritize comfort and shock absorption during daily training, long runs, or recovery sessions. Ideal for those logging moderate to high weekly mileage at easy to steady paces, and for runners who value a soft, stable ride over speed.
The Aero Glide 2 is praised for its plush step-in comfort, lightweight feel for a max-cushion shoe, and a breathable, seamless upper. The fit is more accommodating than previous Salomon road models, especially in the toebox. Not recommended for runners with very wide feet. The shoe is inherently stable due to its wide base and geometry, but it does not include traditional stability elements or a carbon plate.
Sizing: True to size; accommodates standard to slightly wider feet but not recommended for very wide feet. Comparable fit to other mainstream daily trainers. No need to size up or down for most runners.
