What is gravel running?
You’ve probably heard all about trail running and road running, but have you heard of gravel running? It’s the new terrain taking the running world by storm, typically referring to running routes that cover a variety of mixed terrain from true gravel connectors to park loops, loose-pack trails to paved sections. It requires a shoe that’s durable enough to stand up to rugged routes, but cushioned and reactive enough to help you cruise at speed over hard ground.
Gravel shoes from Salomon
The Salomon Aero Blaze 3 Gravel GTX Running Shoes are a great choice for runners who want an adaptable shoe. optiFOAM² midsole cushions landings and returns energy to keep your stride light and lively and the chevron-style lugs dig into softer terrain to add traction when the path gets loose.
The Salomon Aero Glide 4 Gravel Running Shoes are designed for year-round runners who want a cushioned, floaty feel with comfort for long mileage or hard training sessions. The Gravel contaGRIP® rubber outsole delivers reliable traction on pavement, gravel and wet surfaces for shoulder season. It’s comfort, speed and grip in one reliable shoe.
