"You really appreciate the lightness of them."
"although they are very light for such a big midsole on a "trail" runner."
"Light too"

"It’s perfect for gravel/sandy terrain, and is amazing on the road. ... I use mine as primarily a road trainer, and for a groomed trail near my house as well as the beach about an hour away. ... that’s what makes it a brilliant road to trail shoe imo."
"I bought these Salomon GRVL for the same purpose as you and I couldn’t be happier. Been travelling for 2 months around SEA and I’ve used them for exploring but also for 3 runs per week plus the occasional gym drop in. ... I love them!"
"I love my Salomon Aero Glide 3 Gravel shoes for that exact purpose."

"The AG3 has such a nicely balanced feel and ride with just the right amount of bounce and fun factor along with the responsiveness and good stability. ... It's not squishy at all but still has a nice bounce."
"very well cushioned without being too soft"
"the fit on the GRVL is snugger (more padding in the heel and perhaps the different tongue design, not sure but it does allow 1/2 size up compared to the road version). ... the fit in the GRVL is better, it feels more comfortable"

"are very stable"
"Again, very balanced - not too squishy soft and not firm with good bounce and a solid and stable feel on the landings."

"man are they money on relatively flat gravel trails."
"I ended up buying the GRVL version and can safely say they are grippier in all situations (road, gravel, dirt trail, mud, and sand) after ~200 miles in them, including two ultras (40 and 50 milers on mixed terrain)."

"The downside of trail runners to me (Solomans) was I would sometimes get foot bruises on sharp rocky ground. ... My Solomans had a rock plate (thank you for pointing out my omission), but I feel a big difference with my Murrell Moab's."
"I have noticed they fall short when it comes to any mid or slightly more than mid class scrambling. ... Current Salomon trail runners have to thick of a sole and cant feel rock well beneath them"
"Current Salomon trail runners have to thick of a sole and cant feel rock well beneath them ... maybe the ones I have just dont work well for this specific use case."

"The only drawback is that the sole is massive, although again, not unstable, but when packing them they will take up some extra space compared to a normal shoe, although they are very light for such a big midsole on a "trail" runner."

For non-technical trails, you'd want to look at something like the Salomon Aero Glide 3 GRVL as a trail equivilant to the Superblast 2. The demands of technical trails preclude a shoe design like the Superblast.
r/ultrarunning • ASICS Trail Shoes ->I asked a similar question recently and picked up a pair of Salomon Aero Glide 3 GRVL. Was a little skeptical because it’s a higher stack than I like, but man are they money on relatively flat gravel trails.
r/trailrunning • Trail shoes vs road shoes for mixed terrain? ->THIS^ I freaking love the Aeroglide gavels they are some of my favorite shoes. IF I get into WS they will be contenders to switch into after the high country.
r/ultrarunning • Shoes Suggestions for Ultra on Gravel? ->Salomon Aero Glide 3 GRVLs. Road to trail shoe. Not water proof but pair them with some sealskin socks. Superb grip.
r/UKRunners • Advise on winter road running shoes with weekly muddy grass parkrun ->Same as summer running shoes for the most part. I got a pair of salmon aero glide grvl that I think will be perfect for snow days when I have the chance to try them
r/trailrunning • Winter running shoes? ->Salomon aero glide 3 GRVL I use these myself for a very similar purpose. Love them so far.
r/trailrunning • Road to Trail shoe reco ->Peregrine ST is meant for deep mud but yes I don't rate Sauconys grip very highly. They are going over to Vibram perhaps check out the new standard Peregrine it's got a full vibram outsole or the Xodos Ultra for more cushion. Don't think there is a GTX version of Xodus though. I love my Salomon Aeroglide GRVL, it's not narrow fit should be similar to the blaze but I haven't tried on.
r/trailrunning • Road to trail shoes for the winter (for the rain and slippery grounds) ->The shoe you want is actually the AG3 GRVL version but not sizing down! Trust me, the fit on the GRVL is snugger (more padding in the heel and perhaps the different tongue design, not sure but it does allow 1/2 size up compared to the road version). I have the road version in US 11 and the GRVL in 11.5. Both feel great, but the fit in the GRVL is better, it feels more comfortable and the outsole will surely by much more durable than the road version.
r/RunningShoeGeeks • 300-mile Salomon Aero Glide 3 review w/ mini comparison to the GRVL version ->Salomon aero glide 3 TR. Best there is for less technical trails, and is great on the road.
r/AskRunningShoeGeeks • Road to trail shoe recommendation ->Sorry, yes, meant the gravel version. It’s a R2T shoe though in essence, following its predecessor Glide Max TR just with a name change. If 2.5mm lugs aren’t enough for you, and you want something a bit more, I’d check out the Mount to Coast H1. Haven’t tried it yet, but it has just released to some pretty rave reviews.
r/AskRunningShoeGeeks • Road to trail shoe recommendation ->Salomon aero glide 3 GRVL! It’s perfect for gravel/sandy terrain, and is amazing on the road. I use mine as primarily a road trainer, and for a groomed trail near my house as well as the beach about an hour away. It’s not great for super technical trails, due to the shorter lugs, but that’s what makes it a brilliant road to trail shoe imo. It’s great for long runs too, which is my primary use of them.
