We're back with another Supwell Certified Shoe list. This time we’re dropping a lineup built for all your summertime business. Whether you’re hitting the trails, cruising through your daily miles, hopping between road and trail, or just need a comfy go-to for travel days—Supwell’s Summer Adventure running shoes have you covered.
Salomon Aero Glide 3 GRVL: Best for Hikes and Gravel Runs
The Salomon Aero Glide 3 GRVL is a cushioned daily trainer with a beefed-up outsole compared to the standard Aero Glide 3 for additional off-road and wet weather grip. It’s comfortable, bouncy and equally comfortable for long days on your feet and short speedy runs. If you want a shoe for the hotel treadmill in the AM and light hikes in the PM, this is a great choice.

Hoka Bondi 9: Best for Daily Comfort
The Bondi 9 is one of the most comfortable shoes out there. It has a wide base, generous stack of bouncy foam and a gentle, rockered profile that’s perfect for relaxed miles. While the last version was written off as a walking shoe, this update makes it a capable choice for serious mileage while keeping the comfy everyday feel.

ASICS Novablast 5 TR: Best for Road to Trail Runs
The Novablast 5 is one of our top daily trainers of the year—bouncy, fun, comfortable and excellent across a variety of paces. The TR version takes all of that and underpins it with a more rugged outsole designed for gravel roads and light trails. If you’re running down the dirt road across the island to take a dip (in your Supwell camo shorts of course), this is the shoe we’d get.

Nike Vomero 18: Best for Road Trips and Travel
The Vomero 18 is a cushioned cruiser that’s perfect for anything you’ll need to do with a sneaker. Jogging? Of course. Hitting the beach-town boutiques? Banger. Dragging two screaming toddlers to the gas station bathroom somewhere in the middle of Virginia off I-95? Elite. Get this for all-day comfort with a swoosh.
