FAQs
What does 'ACS' stand for in Salomon ACS Pro?
ACS stands for Agile Chassis System, a proprietary technology from Salomon designed to provide enhanced stability and control for agile movements on diverse terrains.
Are these shoes suitable for everyday walking or urban use?
While durable and comfortable, the Salomon ACS Pro is primarily engineered for performance in trail running and outdoor activities. Its specialized features, like aggressive outsole lugs, might feel different on urban pavements compared to dedicated walking shoes.
How do I clean my Salomon ACS Pro shoes?
Gently brush off loose dirt. Use a damp cloth with mild soap to clean the synthetic upper and sole. Avoid machine washing or using harsh detergents. Air dry thoroughly away from direct heat.
What is the benefit of EnergyCell cushioning?
EnergyCell is a high-rebound midsole compound that provides exceptional energy return and substantial cushioning, reducing impact on your joints and improving comfort over long distances.
Can I replace the Quicklace™ system if it breaks?
The Quicklace™ system is an integrated component. Salomon offers Quicklace™ repair kits or replacement parts through their authorized service channels. Contact Salomon customer support for assistance.
Is the Salomon ACS Pro waterproof?
The synthetic upper offers some water resistance, meaning it can handle light splashes and dew. However, it is not fully waterproof. For complete waterproofing, look for Salomon models specifically featuring GORE-TEX (GTX).
What kind of terrain is the All Terrain Contagrip® best for?
All Terrain Contagrip® is designed for maximum traction on a wide variety of surfaces, including wet, dry, hard, and loose terrains. Its lug geometry provides durability and confidence on diverse trails.
Troubleshooting
Laces feel too tight or too loose
Adjust the Quicklace™ system. To tighten, pull the lace firmly through the stopper. To loosen, pinch the stopper and slide it up the lace. Ensure even tension across the foot.
Reduced grip on wet or slippery surfaces
Check the All Terrain Contagrip® outsole for excessive dirt or debris. Clean the lugs thoroughly. While designed for varied terrain, extreme wet or icy conditions may still reduce grip. Consider your foot placement carefully.
Foot discomfort or hot spots after long runs
Ensure you are wearing appropriate socks for your activity. Verify that the shoe size is correct and the lacing tension is not too tight. Allow a break-in period if the shoes are new. The OrthoLite® insole provides cushioning, but individual foot shapes vary.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup
Lacing System: The Quicklace™ system is designed for ease. Pull the thin, strong lace through the eyelets until the shoe feels snug. Push the plastic stopper down to secure it.
Lace Pouch: Tuck the excess lace and stopper into the designated lace pouch on the tongue to prevent snagging and keep them out of the way.
Fit Adjustment: Ensure a comfortable fit that holds your foot securely without being overly tight. Your toes should have room to wiggle.
Compatibility
Activity: Primarily designed for trail running, hiking, and fast-paced outdoor activities.
Terrain: Best suited for varied terrains, including technical trails, rocky paths, loose gravel, and muddy surfaces, thanks to the All Terrain Contagrip®.
Weather: The synthetic upper offers some resistance to splashes but is not fully waterproof. Consider waterproof gaiters or shoes for consistently wet conditions.
Care
Cleaning: After use, especially in muddy conditions, gently brush off loose dirt. Use a damp cloth and mild soap (like dish soap) to clean the synthetic upper and outsole. Do not use harsh chemicals or abrasive brushes.
Drying: Allow shoes to air dry naturally at room temperature. Avoid direct heat sources like radiators or sunlight, as this can damage materials and adhesives.
Storage: Store your shoes in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight. Ensure they are clean and dry before storing to prevent mildew or odor.
Insoles: Remove OrthoLite® insoles periodically to air them out and clean them if necessary. Hand wash with mild soap and water, then air dry.
