FAQs

What is the main benefit of the Energy Foam midsole?

The Energy Foam midsole provides a combination of dynamic responsiveness and cushioning, offering both comfort and a reactive bounce during your run.

Can these trainers be used for hiking?

The Aero Flw Gvl trainers are designed for running on varied surfaces including gravel and light trails. While they offer adaptable grip, they are optimized for running rather than technical or strenuous hiking.

How do I adjust the QuickLACE system?

To tighten, pull the laces upwards, then push down firmly on the lock to secure them. To loosen, lift the lock and pull the laces.

Are these shoes waterproof?

The Salomon Aero Flw Gvl trainers are not designed to be waterproof. They are made with materials that allow for breathability, which means they will allow water to pass through.

What is the best way to clean these trainers?

Clean with a soft brush or dry cloth to remove loose dirt. For more stubborn dirt, use a damp cloth with cold water and mild soap, then air dry naturally.

How durable is the outsole for trail running?

The outsole is optimized for a firm and adaptable grip on asphalt, gravel, and trail. It provides good traction for general trail use, but may show wear faster on very abrasive or technical terrain compared to specialized trail shoes.

What is the primary advantage of the lightweight design?

The lightweight construction helps to reduce fatigue during your runs, allowing for a more comfortable and agile feel, especially over longer distances.

Troubleshooting

Laces not staying tight

Ensure the QuickLACE lock is fully engaged. If the laces themselves are worn, consider replacing them with compatible Salomon QuickLACE replacements.

Discomfort or pressure points

Verify the lacing is adjusted correctly – not too tight or too loose. Consider using aftermarket insoles for personalized arch support or cushioning if needed.

Reduced grip on wet surfaces

Clean the outsole to remove any mud or debris that might be affecting traction. Note that while grip is adaptable, extreme wet conditions on slick surfaces may reduce effectiveness compared to specialized wet-weather tires.

Shoes feel stiff initially

Most running shoes require a short break-in period. Wear them for shorter runs or around the house to allow the materials to mold to your foot shape.

Pros and Cons

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup: These trainers are designed for immediate use. Ensure the QuickLACE system is adjusted to your preferred tightness before your first run. The tension can be fine-tuned by pulling on the laces and securing them with the lock.

Compatibility: The Salomon Aero Flw Gvl trainers are engineered for a variety of running surfaces, including road, gravel, and light trails. They are best suited for adult male runners looking for a versatile training shoe.

Care: To maintain the condition of your trainers:

  1. Remove loose dirt with a soft brush or dry cloth.
  2. For deeper cleaning, use a mild soap and cold water with a damp cloth or sponge. Avoid harsh detergents.
  3. Allow the shoes to air dry naturally at room temperature, away from direct heat sources like radiators or sunlight.
  4. Do not machine wash or tumble dry.
