FAQs
Are the Salomon Ultra Flow 2 suitable for marathon running?
Yes, the energyFOAM midsole provides ample cushioning and energy return, making them suitable for marathon distances, especially on trail or mixed terrain.
How do I choose the right size?
Refer to the sizing guide provided by Salomon or the retailer. It is generally recommended to have about a thumb's width of space between your longest toe and the end of the shoe.
Can I wear these shoes in the rain?
The trainers offer good grip in various conditions, including wet surfaces, due to the Contagrip® technology. However, they are not waterproof, so feet may get wet in prolonged heavy rain.
What is the main benefit of the energyFOAM midsole?
The energyFOAM midsole is designed to provide dynamic cushioning, meaning it offers a responsive feel that helps propel you forward while absorbing impact, reducing fatigue on longer runs.
How durable is the Contagrip® outsole?
The Contagrip® outsole is engineered for durability and traction on a wide range of surfaces, designed to withstand the wear and tear of regular trail running.
Can I wash these trainers in a washing machine?
No, it is not recommended to machine wash the Salomon Ultra Flow 2. Cleaning with a damp cloth and mild soap is the preferred method to maintain the integrity of the materials and construction.
What is the recommended break-in period?
While many find them comfortable from the start, a break-in period of a few shorter runs is advisable to allow the shoes to mold to your foot's unique shape for optimal comfort and performance.
Troubleshooting
Shoes feel too tight or uncomfortable
Ensure laces are adjusted correctly. Try wearing thinner socks or running the shoes in for a few more shorter sessions to allow them to mold to your foot shape.
Traction feels reduced on wet surfaces
Clean the Contagrip® outsole to remove any mud or debris that might be affecting grip. Note that while designed for all terrains, extreme wetness can still reduce traction.
Uppers feel warm during long runs
This is normal for breathable materials. Ensure you are wearing moisture-wicking socks. For very hot conditions, consider shorter runs or running during cooler parts of the day.
Laces keep coming undone
Try double-knotting the laces. Consider replacing the laces with a more robust, anti-slip variety if this persists.

Setup, Compatibility & Care Instructions
Setup:
These trainers are ready to wear out of the box. Ensure they fit snugly by adjusting the lace fastenings to your preferred level of tightness before your first run. It is recommended to wear them for short durations initially to allow your feet to adapt to the cushioning and fit.
Compatibility:
The Salomon Ultra Flow 2 trainers are designed for adult female runners and are compatible with standard athletic socks. They are best suited for trail running, light hiking, and general fitness activities on varied terrain.
Care:
- Cleaning: Wipe clean the exterior of the trainers with a damp cloth to remove dirt and mud. For the interior, use a soft brush or cloth. Avoid machine washing, as this can damage the materials and construction.
- Drying: Allow the trainers to air dry naturally at room temperature. Do not place them near direct heat sources like radiators or in direct sunlight, as this can cause the materials to degrade.
- Storage: Store in a cool, dry place when not in use. Ensure they are clean before long-term storage to prevent any potential material damage.
