FAQs
Are these trainers suitable for everyday casual wear?
Yes, the Salomon ACS Pro Shell trainers offer comfort and support, making them suitable for everyday casual wear, especially if you lead an active lifestyle or prefer supportive footwear.
How do I know if I have the correct size?
It is recommended to try them on if possible, or carefully measure your foot length and compare it with the brand's sizing chart. Consider the width of your foot and whether you prefer to wear thicker socks.
Can I use these for running on hard surfaces?
While they offer good cushioning, they are primarily designed for trails and varied terrains. For dedicated road running, specialized road running shoes might offer better performance and cushioning.
How often should I re-waterproof the shoes?
Re-waterproofing is typically only necessary if you notice a decrease in the water repellency of the shoe's upper material, or if the GORE-TEX® membrane's performance seems compromised. This can vary depending on usage and environmental conditions.
What is the main difference between ACS and other Salomon series?
The ACS (Advanced Chassis System) is specifically designed to provide enhanced stability and protection on technical or uneven terrain, offering a more controlled and supportive ride compared to more minimalist or flexible shoe designs.
Can I machine wash these trainers?
No, machine washing is not recommended as it can damage the materials, adhesive, and waterproof membrane of the trainers.
Troubleshooting
Traction is reduced on certain surfaces.
Clean the Contagrip® outsole thoroughly to remove embedded debris. Check the outsole for excessive wear and consider replacement if tread is significantly diminished.
Feet feel damp despite waterproof claims.
Ensure the laces are tied correctly to allow the GORE-TEX® membrane to function as intended. Check for any visible damage to the upper or seams that might allow water ingress. Ensure socks are also moisture-wicking.
Discomfort or rubbing during initial wears.
Adjust the lacing system to find a more personalized fit. Wear thicker socks initially, and allow the shoes a break-in period by wearing them for shorter durations before longer activities.
Mud or dirt is difficult to remove.
Use a specialized shoe cleaner or a mixture of mild soap and water. For stubborn stains, a soft-bristled brush can help, followed by a thorough rinse with cool water and air drying.

Setup, Compatibility & Care Instructions
Setup: These trainers are ready to wear out of the box. Ensure the lacing is adjusted for a comfortable and secure fit. For the first few wears, pay attention to how the shoe feels and adjust the lacing as needed to conform to your foot's shape.
Compatibility: Designed for active use, these trainers are compatible with a wide range of outdoor activities including hiking, trail running, and general walking. They pair well with outdoor apparel and casual wear.
Care: To maintain the performance and longevity of your ACS Pro Shell trainers:
- Cleaning: Remove loose dirt and mud with a soft brush. For deeper cleaning, use a mild soap and cool water with a damp cloth or sponge. Avoid machine washing or harsh detergents, as these can damage the materials and waterproof membrane.
- Drying: Allow trainers to air dry naturally at room temperature. Never use direct heat sources such as radiators or hairdryers, as this can degrade the materials and adhesives. Stuffing them with newspaper can help absorb moisture and retain shape during drying.
- Waterproofing: Periodically check the effectiveness of the GORE-TEX® lining. If performance seems diminished, consider using a waterproofing spray specifically designed for technical footwear. Ensure the spray is compatible with waterproof-breathable membranes.
