Guide to technical specifications

The Salomon AERO BLAZE 4 GRVL GORE-TEX Women’s are gravel running shoes designed to offer versatility, cushioning and waterproof protection on routes that alternate between tarmac and off-road terrain. Their dynamic design makes them suitable for daily training on dirt tracks, in urban parks and on mixed routes, especially when weather conditions call for greater protection.

The midsole utilises optiFOAM™² foam, developed to combine impact absorption and energy return. The cushioning is soft and protective, whilst maintaining a dynamic response whilst running. The geometry features a stack height of 37 mm at the heel and 29 mm at the forefoot, corresponding to an 8 mm drop.

The Gravel contaGRIP® outsole is specifically designed to transition seamlessly from tarmac to gravel, offering traction and durability on both surfaces and in different weather conditions. The 2.5 mm lugs ensure smooth rolling on compact surfaces, whilst providing the necessary grip when the route continues over gravel, earth and dirt tracks.

The GORE-TEX membrane provides waterproof protection whilst maintaining a breathable construction, whilst the Engineered Mesh upper uses a differentiated weave to balance support, flexibility and durability. The sensiFIT™ internal system wraps around the foot from the midsole to the lacing, helping to keep it stable and securely in place even on the most uneven terrain. The moulded OrthoLite® insole adds further comfort and breathability.

The quickLACE™ neo system allows for quick and even adjustment of the fit and uses a thicker lace to enhance comfort. Weighing 280 g, the AERO BLAZE 4 GRVL GORE-TEX Women’s is an attractive option for those seeking a waterproof shoe capable of handling both road and off-road terrain with ease, without needing to resort to a more structured, specialist trail shoe.
