Salomon Aeroglide: great for easy Boston 13: does everything well Adios Pro 4: long runs with marathon pace segments and the race itself

it has very little hype but that's great because its extremely cheap for the insane value it offers.

I really like the Salomon Aero Glide 3 or 4 for daily and long runs. It reminds me on the Saucony Triumph 20, but more stable and with a lower drop. Also lighter. The foam will last forever. The outsole is soft, though, so beware if you’re harsh on outsoles. I think it’s livelier and smoother than the Novablast 5, which I actually loved (at least for the first 100 miles). The Aero Glide’s best suited for paces between recovery and marathon. Haven’t tried the Puma or the Nike.

Salomon aero glide 3/4 (same foam different upper) are fantastic value. Fast, more supportive than the Evo SL, foam lasts longer than the Novablasts and they have a wider toebox than the Pumas. They're slept on a little bit imo but have a read into them.

Salomon aero glides are stable but fairly fast. They're not a hardcore race shoe though, more of a performance training shoe or a longer distance race option.

Try the Aeroglide 3 or 4. I gave up on the superblast 2 and love the AG3.

Ya the AG3 is narrow, definitely noticeably more narrow than the Evo SL so it’s probably not a good fit.

I use the Genesis for trails (great shoe) and the Kayano 32 for some easy recovery runs. I have used the NB860v14 but found it kinda clunky and slow. I would suggest trying the Salomon Aero Glide 3 or 4 (3 is on sale if you can find it). They have the same midsole/outsole, just an updated upper on the 4. It's listed as a neutral shoe but it definitely has some stability to resist over-pronation. I use it for all structured workouts and long runs but could use it every day. It's much lighter and snappier, with great energy return compared to the NB860, GT-4000, or Kayano. I also use the Brooks Glycerin Max for easy runs and really like it - very, very smooth heel-to-toe transition with elements that make it feel stable.

As a big fan of the ES3, the Salomon Aero Glide 3 (recently discontinued) or 4 (same midsole & outsole as 3) is the perfect replacement for me. According to RunRepeat, it has 19% more cushion than the ES3 and I would agree with that. Stability feels very similar. Smoother heel-to-toe transition than the ES3.

Yeah, good catch.  I think the AG4 is a little bit heavier than the AG3.  I haven’t run in the AG4 yet because I bought a bunch of the 3s on sale.   Yes, it’s a wee bit heavier but the  additional cushioning and smoother heel to toe transitioned offset that.  Also, I think a little extra weight is to be expected for the significantly higher stack height and cushioning.   I’ve run marathons in both and I would choose the AG3 over the ES3. Just my $.02

They are built for any pace that feels right. I ran a marathon last weekend in the AG3 at 4:21 min/km and they felt smooth, light, and bouncy. One of the best shoes I've run in more than 25 years of running.

I love the AG3 for threshold runs (4:00 min/km) and intervals (3:45 min/km). They feel great at that pace for me. One of the best shoes I've ever used.

If the trails are packed dirt and not technical I’d stick to road shoes, or if you like the Salomon aero glide 3/4 those do come in a gravel option. I’d be wary of shoes with a ton of exposed foam or rubberized EVA outsoles since gravel can chew those up quickly.
