Product Information
Full details
The Salomon ACS+ trainers are engineered for adults seeking a versatile bridge between high-performance trail footwear and contemporary urban style. By combining a GORE-TEX waterproof membrane with a stable agileCHASSIS system, these shoes provide reliable protection and comfort in varying weather conditions and on diverse terrain; however, users should note that the technical construction may feel stiffer initially compared to purely lifestyle-focused sneakers.

FAQs
Are these shoes truly waterproof?
Yes, they feature a GORE-TEX coating which provides a high level of waterproof protection against rain and puddles.
Can I wear these for daily gym workouts?
They are suitable for general training and light movement, though they are optimized primarily for trail stability and hiking.
How should I clean my ACS+ trainers?
Use a soft brush and water to clear mud from the outsole and wipe the upper with a damp cloth. Do not machine wash.
Do these fit true to size?
Salomon trainers generally follow standard sizing; however, since they offer a locked-in performance fit, some users prefer a half-size up for thicker hiking socks.
What is the primary difference between the ACS+ and standard lifestyle trainers?
The ACS+ includes technical components like the agileCHASSIS and ContaGRIP outsole designed for stability and grip, which are typically absent in lifestyle sneakers.
Can I replace the insoles?
Yes, the internal insoles are removable and can be replaced with custom orthotics if preferred.
Troubleshooting
Feeling of stiffness in the midsole
Wear the shoes indoors for short periods over a few days to allow the EnergyCell foam to adapt to your foot strike.
Water entering the shoe despite GORE-TEX
Check the upper mesh for any debris or physical punctures and ensure the lace tension is adjusted to seal the collar area.
Laces coming loose
Re-thread the laces to ensure they are seated correctly in the eyelets and verify that the locking mechanism is engaged fully.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure your Salomon ACS+ trainers perform optimally, focus on a proper fit: ensure your heel is seated securely in the back of the shoe before tightening the lacing system. For maintenance, remove loose dirt after each trail outing by brushing the outsole. If the shoes become muddy, clean them with a soft brush and lukewarm water. Avoid using harsh detergents or machine washing, as these can damage the waterproof GORE-TEX membrane. Always air dry the shoes away from direct heat sources like radiators to preserve the shape and material integrity.
