Asics Glideride3 are Fab!

karl hearty · Dec 22, 2023

5/5

Overall

I bought the Glideride1 and Glideride2 previously. They have very interesting feel, rocker motions, SO comfortable, easy to run slow or fast in them. Very nice fit, look a nice trainer as well. The sole tread could be bit more grippy but overall I love them. The Glideride3 is even better and even more smooth.

Basic economical trainer

Anonymous runner · Oct 4, 2023

4/5

Overall

Basic version of the Glideride 3. 
Considerably less plush cushion/stack and no plastic plate. Feels like a solid trainer without too much fancy stuff. Still feels as supportive as it needs to be and the foam is good but is definitely in touch with the road. 

Incredible for the price (62 Euro)

Light and comfortable

Overall

This show is lighter and no longer has the massive rocker plate effect that the glideride 1 had. The toe box is more roomy than a pegasus and in general is very comfortable. I have done everything in it from speedwork to long runs.
