Glide Max TR

Salomon Glide Max TR 3rd pair- 200 miles - Distance on buffed out nontechnical trail. Salomon Thundercross 2nd pair - 50 miles - Winter with screws Salomon Genesis 2nd pair - 180 miles - Do anything shoe at casual pace Merrell Agility Peak 5 - 112 miles - Technical trail, foot protection, but untrustworthy at speed. Salomon Genesis S/Lab - 354 miles - Do anything at speed, nearing end of life. Replacement pair waiting in the closet. Hoka Clifton 9 - 304 miles - Pavement

This. I own the Glide Max TR, and love them, and a review saw said they are an upgraded version of that. Sounds good to me, next on the list. 

Love my glide max TR. Underrated shoe imo

Salomon aero glide 3 GRVL is a popular choice in this space but I haven’t tried it. I have tried the Salomon glide max tr which was the spiritual predecessor of the shoe imo and it’s brilliant - I got it for HM training after watching some reviews of people using it for HM-ultra distances. It doesn’t have a rock plate which might affect your decision if the trails you are running on aren’t super groomed. But for less technical trails, I wouldn’t want anything else on my feet. 

Salomon aero glide 3 TR. Best there is for less technical trails, and is great on the road. 

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. 

I’m curious to hear what everyone is running in at the moment — which shoes are in your active rotation, what you use them for, how many kilometres they have, and which pair is currently your favourite. Here’s mine: **Trail rotation** * **Hoka Challenger 7 – 517 km** * **Salomon Glide Max TR – 396 km** * **Salomon Ultra Flow – 180 km** * **La Sportiva Prodigio Pro – 57 km** **Road rotation** * **Puma Deviate Nitro 2 – 257 km** * **Mizuno Wave Shadow 4 – 424 km** * **Hoka Bondi 8 – 163 km** * **New Balance Rebel v4 – 136 km** **Current favourites:** * **Trail:** *La Sportiva Prodigio Pro* — insanely fast and capable, basically brings road-shoe speed into the trails. The bounce and responsiveness are on another level. * **Road:** *Puma Deviate Nitro 2* — a super comfortable daily trainer that can still pick up the pace thanks to the carbon plate. Very closely followed by the *NB Rebel v4*, which is ridiculously light and fun for everyday runs. What about you - what’s in your rotation right now, which pair are you enjoying the most, and are you currently considering buying any new shoes?

I would consider the Glde or the Pulsar a more similar fit/run to the Ride than the Genesis.
