FAQs

Are these shoes suitable for trail running?

Yes, the AERO Flow GRVL are designed with an optimized outsole for firm and adaptable grip, making them suitable for transitioning from asphalt to gravel and light trails.

How do I adjust the QuickLACE system?

The QuickLACE system features a central stopper. Pull it up to loosen the laces and push it down to tighten them. You can fine-tune the fit by adjusting the tension across the foot.

Are the shoes fully waterproof?

Yes, they feature a GORE-TEX membrane which provides waterproof protection, keeping your feet dry in wet conditions.

Can I wash these shoes in a washing machine?

No, machine washing is not recommended as it can damage the shoe's materials and construction, including the GORE-TEX membrane. Clean them by hand with cool water and mild soap.

What is the main benefit of the Energy Foam midsole?

The Energy Foam midsole provides a combination of dynamic bounce for responsiveness and cushioning for comfort during your runs.

How do I know if I have the correct size?

Ensure there is a finger's width of space between your longest toe and the front of the shoe when standing. The heel should feel secure without slipping.

Troubleshooting

Laces not tightening securely

Ensure the QuickLACE mechanism is clean and free of debris. Try re-threading the lace through the stopper if it appears damaged. Ensure the tension lock is fully engaged.

Feet feel wet despite GORE-TEX

The GORE-TEX membrane is waterproof, but water can enter from the top if submerged. Ensure socks are not saturated, which can transfer moisture. Check for any damage to the membrane or seals.

Discomfort or rubbing

Adjust the QuickLACE tension for a more balanced fit. Ensure you are wearing appropriate socks. Break in the shoes with shorter runs before undertaking long distances.

Reduced grip on wet surfaces

While designed for adaptability, optimal grip on extremely wet or smooth surfaces may vary. Clean the outsole to remove any embedded dirt or debris that might be affecting traction.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Versatile grip for mixed terrain.
  • Waterproof GORE-TEX membrane for dry feet.
  • Comfortable cushioning with responsive bounce.
  • Quick and easy lacing system.
  • Lightweight construction for reduced fatigue.

Cons

  • May require an adjustment period for fit and feel.
  • Grip may be less specialized on extremely technical terrain compared to dedicated trail shoes.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup: The primary setup involves adjusting the QuickLACE system to achieve a secure and comfortable fit. Ensure the laces are tightened evenly across the foot.

Compatibility: These trainers are designed for a wide range of adult users. They are compatible with various running socks. The GORE-TEX membrane provides compatibility for use in wet weather conditions.

Care:

  1. Cleaning: After use, brush off loose dirt. For deeper cleaning, use a soft brush or cloth with cool water and mild soap. Avoid harsh detergents.
  2. Drying: Do not machine wash or tumble dry. Always air dry away from direct heat sources. Remove insoles to aid drying if needed.
  3. Storage: Store in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight.
