FAQs
Are these trainers suitable for running?
The Salomon ACS Pro Shell Trainers are designed for versatility and can be used for light running or jogging, especially on trails. However, for dedicated road running or high-impact training, specialized running shoes might offer more cushioning and support.
How do I know if I have the right size?
These trainers are described as true to size in EU sizing. It is recommended to measure your foot and compare it to the EU sizing chart provided by Salomon, or try them on if possible, to ensure a comfortable fit.
Can I wear these trainers in the rain?
The shell-inspired upper offers some protection against light rain and splashes. However, they are not fully waterproof and are best suited for dry to mildly wet conditions. For heavy rain, waterproof footwear is recommended.
What is the main advantage of the Quicklace system?
The Quicklace system allows for very fast and easy one-handed tightening and loosening of the laces, providing a secure and customizable fit without the need for tying knots.
Are these trainers good for hiking?
Yes, the durable construction, grippy rubber sole, and comfortable, breathable design make them suitable for hiking, especially in warmer weather or on less technical terrain.
What material is the upper made from?
The upper is made from a synthetic, shell-inspired material that is lightweight and breathable.
Can I put these in a washing machine?
It is not recommended to put these trainers in a washing machine, as this can damage the materials and construction. Hand cleaning with a damp cloth and mild soap is the preferred method.
Troubleshooting
Quicklace system is difficult to tighten or loosen.
Ensure the lace ends are correctly threaded through the toggle. Check for any debris or damage in the lacing channels. Try gently wiggling the toggle while pulling.
Shoes feel too tight or too loose despite adjusting the laces.
Verify you have the correct EU size. The trainers are designed to be true to size. Consider if you are using appropriate socks. Adjust the Quicklace tension carefully, ensuring the lace pocket is used to secure the fit.
Reduced grip on wet surfaces.
While the rubber sole offers good traction, performance on extremely wet or slippery surfaces may be reduced. Ensure the sole is clean of mud or debris which can affect grip. For very slick conditions, caution is advised.
Discomfort or rubbing after initial wear.
New footwear can sometimes require a break-in period. Wear the trainers for short periods initially and gradually increase wear time. Ensure the laces are adjusted for a comfortable, supportive fit without being too tight.

Setup, Compatibility & Care Instructions
Setup: The Salomon ACS Pro Shell Trainers feature a Quicklace™ system. To put them on, loosen the laces by pulling the toggle away from the shoe. Slide your foot in, then pull the toggle upwards towards the shoe to tighten. Tuck the excess lace ends into the lace pocket on the tongue for a neat finish.
Compatibility: These trainers are designed for general adult use. They are compatible with standard socks. Ensure you select the correct size, as they are true to EU sizing.
Care:
- Cleaning the Upper: Wipe the synthetic upper with a soft, damp cloth. For tougher dirt, use mild soap and water, then rinse with a clean, damp cloth. Avoid abrasive cleaners.
- Cleaning the Sole: Use a brush or cloth to remove dirt from the rubber sole. Stubborn marks can be gently scrubbed with a damp cloth and mild soap.
- Drying: Allow the trainers to air dry naturally at room temperature. Do not place them near direct heat sources like radiators or fires, as this can damage the materials.
- Laces: The Quicklace system does not require washing, but the toggle can be wiped clean if necessary.
