FAQs
Are the Salomon ACS+ GTX trainers waterproof?
Yes, they feature a Gore-Tex membrane which provides a high level of waterproofing while remaining breathable.
Are these suitable for running?
While they provide great support and stability, they are categorized as versatile trainers rather than specialized performance running shoes.
How should I choose the right size?
Salomon sizes generally follow standard UK sizing; however, since these are technical trainers, ensure you have a thumb's width of space at the front of the shoe for optimal comfort.
Can the insoles be removed?
Yes, the internal insoles are removable, allowing you to insert custom orthotics if required.
What is the primary difference between the ACS+ and ACS+ GTX?
The GTX model includes a Gore-Tex waterproof membrane, whereas the standard ACS+ model emphasizes maximum breathability without the waterproof layer.
Troubleshooting
Waterproofing appears less effective over time
Clean the outer fabric and consider applying a spray-on waterproofing treatment specifically designed for technical footwear to restore the DWR coating.
Foot discomfort during initial wear
The technical chassis requires a short break-in period. Wear them for short walks initially to allow the structural support to contour to your foot shape.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure the longevity of your Salomon trainers, proper maintenance is essential. Always undo the laces fully before taking the shoes off to preserve the internal heel structure. If the footwear becomes muddy, allow the mud to dry completely before brushing it off with a soft-bristled brush. Avoid using harsh chemical detergents or putting the shoes in a washing machine, as this can degrade the Gore-Tex membrane and the adhesive bond of the sole. When storing, keep them in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight or extreme heat sources like radiators, which can cause the synthetic materials to warp over time.
