As the gravel running trend ramps up, hot on the heels of the explosion in gravel biking, Salomon launches the new Aero Glide 3 GRVL running shoe.
Here at City Matters, we’re huge fans of running, and it’s only natural that we had to test these trendy trainers out.
We opted for the trendy orange pair, which would look good with most of your running gear. The overall design of the shoe is great, breathable, vibrant, and a great colour to rock this summer. In terms of size, we tested out a UK 5.5 (EU £38) and they come up true to size.
This product is extremely versatile, they’re comfortable and light, which we loved, and perfect for running that 5K or 10K. We loved that the trainers include good cushioning, which will make it the perfect pair for running on both road and trail with the shoe’s hybrid design. The grip is also fantastic on this pair of trainers, perfect for both rain and the summer months.

Our overall thoughts, Aero Glide 3 GRVL has exceeded our expectations with creating a pair of trainers that help us feel comfortable whilst running and staying looking trendy at the same time. We cannot wait to take them out for another run soon!
