Full details
The Salomon ACS+ GTX trainers are designed for adults seeking a high-performance, versatile sneaker that bridges the gap between rugged outdoor functionality and sleek urban style. These unisex trainers offer exceptional support and reliable traction across varied terrains, making them ideal for daily wear or active transitions. While they provide robust protection and comfort, users should note that the GORE-TEX (GTX) construction is best suited for environments where moisture protection is a priority, which may influence breathability compared to non-waterproof models.

FAQs
Are these shoes suitable for running?
While the ACS+ GTX is highly capable and stable, it is designed primarily as a versatile trainer for walking and daily outdoor activities rather than a dedicated high-mileage running shoe.
Does the GORE-TEX make the shoe stiff?
The GORE-TEX layer adds a slight structural integrity to the upper, but Salomon designed the shoe to maintain flexibility for natural foot movement.
How should I clean the black and silver fabric?
Use mild soap and lukewarm water with a soft brush. Gently scrub the affected areas and pat dry with a clean towel.
Are these unisex shoes?
Yes, these are designed as unisex trainers. Please ensure you verify the UK sizing equivalent to your usual fit before purchasing.
Can the insoles be replaced?
Yes, the stock insoles are removable, allowing you to insert custom orthotics if required for additional arch support.
Troubleshooting
Foot feels slightly damp after long use in rain
Ensure the exterior is clean; dirt buildup can hinder the performance of the water-repellent finish. Consider re-treating with a dedicated DWR spray.
Trainer feels too tight or uncomfortable
Adjust the tension of the lacing system, ensuring it is even across the bridge of the foot. Ensure you are wearing the appropriate thickness of performance socks.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure the longevity of your Salomon ACS+ GTX trainers, follow these guidelines:
- Breaking In: Wear them around the house or on short walks initially to allow the materials to conform to your foot shape.
- Cleaning: Remove excess dirt with a soft brush after muddy outings. Wipe the exterior with a damp cloth; avoid submerging in water or using harsh chemical cleaners.
- Drying: Air dry naturally away from direct heat sources like radiators, as extreme heat can degrade the GORE-TEX membrane and bondings.
- Storage: Store in a cool, dry, and well-ventilated area to prevent odor buildup and preserve material flexibility.
- Maintenance: Periodically check for debris caught in the outsole treads to ensure optimal grip.
