FAQs
What is the Agile Chassis System (ACS)?
The Agile Chassis System is a stability technology integrated into the sole unit of the Salomon ACS Pro. It helps to stabilize your stride, providing enhanced support and confident dependability, especially on rough and uneven trail surfaces.
Is the Salomon ACS Pro Black suitable for daily wear?
While durable and comfortable, the Salomon ACS Pro Black is primarily designed as a robust trail running shoe. Its aggressive sole and technical aesthetic are optimized for performance on challenging trails, which might be more specialized than desired for typical daily, urban wear.
How do I clean my Salomon ACS Pro shoes?
To clean your shoes, remove any loose dirt with a soft brush. For a deeper clean, use a mild soap (like dish soap) diluted in cold water with a soft cloth or sponge. Gently scrub the mesh and synthetic overlays. Rinse with cold water and allow them to air dry naturally away from direct heat or sunlight.
Are these shoes waterproof?
The product description highlights breathability through its mesh upper. It does not state that the Salomon ACS Pro Black is waterproof. While the synthetic overlays offer some resistance, significant water exposure will likely lead to wet feet. > Info needed: For explicit waterproofing, look for models with Gore-Tex or similar membranes.
Can I replace the Quicklace system if it breaks?
Yes, Salomon typically offers replacement `Quicklace` kits. Check the official Salomon website or contact customer support for specific details on how to obtain and install a replacement kit for your ACS Pro model.
What is the purpose of the two pull tabs on the heel?
The two pull tabs on the heel are designed to make it easier and quicker to pull the shoes on and off, especially after a long run when feet might be swollen, or when needing to transition quickly.
Troubleshooting
Quicklace feels too loose or too tight
To adjust, unlock the toggle and pull the lace evenly. For a looser fit, gently pull on the lace where it exits the eyelets to release tension, then slide the toggle back to lock. For a tighter fit, pull the cord further through the toggle until desired snugness is achieved, then lock.
Foot feels uncomfortable or rubs after long wear
Ensure you have the correct size. Try different sock thicknesses. Allow for a break-in period for the shoe to mold to your foot. Check if the `Quicklace` is too tight in specific areas; readjust for even pressure distribution.
Reduced grip on wet or loose surfaces
Inspect the rubber sole for any caked-on mud, small stones, or debris that might be impacting traction. Clean the treads thoroughly with water and a brush. If wear is significant, the sole might be nearing the end of its effective lifespan.
Shoe emits an unpleasant odor
Ensure shoes are fully aired out and dried after each use. You can insert odor-absorbing sachets or baking soda overnight. Consider using moisture-wicking socks to help manage sweat.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup

Care
- Cleaning: Remove loose dirt and debris with a soft brush after each use. For deeper cleaning, use a mild soap and cold water with a soft cloth or sponge. Avoid harsh detergents or machine washing.
- Drying: Allow shoes to air dry naturally at room temperature. Avoid direct heat sources like radiators or prolonged exposure to direct sunlight, as this can damage materials.
- Storage: Store in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight when not in use. Ensure they are completely dry before storing to prevent odor and material degradation.
- Maintenance: Periodically check the `Quicklace` system for wear and tear. Ensure the sole unit is free from embedded rocks or debris that could affect grip.
