The Aero Blaze 2 is at the middle of the range when comparing Salomon running shoes in terms of cushion: it finds a great balance between softness and responsiveness. Salomon has put a lot of attention to its running shoe lineup for this season, and while perhaps still best known for their hiking and trail running footwear, it is now at level with competing brands also on paved surfaces. - Regular Salomon last - Drop 8 mm - the shoe helps even beginners direct their power forwards - Energy Foam cushion with two types of EVA foams - Breathable Engineered Mesh upper - Improved fit compared to the first Aero Blaze
