Aero Blaze 3 GRVL Running Trainers

Recently added these to my collection after being a long time fan of the Aero Blaze line. They fit exactly like the aero blaze 3s I wear on the road with a really nice beefed up tread that is way more capable and gives me confidence on light to moderate trails. Where they really shine for me is on all the forest and county roads I run in rural NM where I used to debate wearing road or trail shoes. These fill the gap between a fully fledged trail shoe and a road shoe. A great addition to anyone's collection

I got this shoe and immediately used it on a few trail runs, some gravel roads, and some road running. While they aren't full trail shoes, they're more than enough to take on some fire roads or non-technical trails, while remaining light and flexible enough to do fine on the road.

Although these shoes are designed for gravel running, they perform exceptionally well on both trails and roads as well. On the trails, they offer excellent stability and grip, providing confidence on uneven terrain. On the road, the cushioning is more than sufficient, allowing for long-distance runs without putting too much strain on the feet. It's a truly versatile shoe that handles multiple surfaces with ease.

The shoe is PERFECT for gravel runs (rail-trails, light trails, snowy roads, wet roads, etc.). I wouldn't use this on more technical trails (even though I did, and it performed fine) as the toe box and upper layer is softer and gives more unwanted ankle movement and foot slipping. However, when on the right surface, its a gem.

My first dedicated running shoe. Super light weight compared to what I’m used to and feels great under foot. Grip is great for mixed terrain.

Light bodied and excellent comfort! Great color and contrast with retention straps and tongue. Excellent every day sneaker.
