The Salomon GRVL Concept impresses with Salomon's best foam yet and good lateral stability geometry, but is hampered by a poorly placed plate flex point, slightly narrow forefoot, and a $250 price that is hard to justify for a concept shoe that does not excel at either road or trail at the super shoe level. — Doctors of Running
The squishiest and most energetic foam in a trail shoe the reviewer has experienced, with dual plates for stability and efficiency; a race-oriented version of the Aeroglide GRVL.
Best for: Short daily runs, long runs, mixed terrain including light gravel

Best for: Road-to-trail hybrid runs on crushed granite or packed dirt for runners who want super trainer comfort with some trail capability
Reviewers note: Upper has a booty construction with a split at the top that allows cinching down. Good midfoot and heel lockdown once running. Some heel weirdness at the back when stationary. Forefoot taper is slightly too narrow for longer miles.
