FAQs
Are these shoes suitable for marathon running?
The Salomon AERO Flow GRVL offers excellent cushioning and comfort, making it suitable for marathon distances, especially for runners who appreciate a plush feel and transition between road and light trails.
How do I clean the GORE-TEX membrane?
Clean the exterior with a soft brush or damp cloth. Avoid harsh chemicals. The membrane is durable and best maintained through regular cleaning of the shoe's exterior.
Can I use these shoes for technical trail running?
While versatile, these shoes are optimized for asphalt, gravel, and light trails. For highly technical or rugged terrain, a shoe with a more aggressive lug pattern and enhanced stability might be preferable.
What is the benefit of the Fuze Foam EVA midsole?
The Fuze Foam EVA midsole provides enhanced comfort through its super soft and oversized design, absorbing impact effectively while incorporating natural rubber for durability and responsiveness.
How does the quickLACE system work?
The quickLACE system allows for fast, one-pull tightening and loosening of the laces, with an integrated pocket on the tongue to store the excess lace for a secure fit.
Are these shoes waterproof or water-resistant?
These shoes feature a GORE-TEX membrane, making them waterproof, meaning they will keep your feet dry from external moisture like rain and puddles.
What size should I order if I'm unsure of my UK size?
It is recommended to consult a size chart and, if possible, try on the shoes. For the best fit, measure your foot length and compare it to the brand's sizing guide.
Troubleshooting
Shoes feel too tight with quickLACE system
Loosen the laces by pulling the top toggle until comfortable. Ensure the excess lace is properly tucked into the lace pocket to prevent interference.
Feet getting wet despite GORE-TEX membrane
Check for damage to the membrane or seams. Ensure the shoe is properly laced and the tongue is positioned correctly. Clean the shoes as the membrane's performance can be affected by dirt.
Traction feels reduced on wet surfaces
Clean the outsole to remove any mud or debris that might be clogging the tread pattern. For prolonged wet conditions, ensure the GORE-TEX membrane is functioning optimally.
Cushioning feels too soft or unstable
This is characteristic of the oversized midsole for comfort. If instability is a concern, consider alternating with a firmer shoe or ensure proper running form.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup:
These shoes feature Salomon's quickLACE system. To put them on, simply pull the laces to tighten and tuck the excess lace into the integrated pocket on the tongue. To remove, loosen the laces by pulling the top toggle.
Compatibility:
The Salomon AERO Flow GRVL is designed for adult male runners. Its sizing is based on UK men's foot sizes. The shoe is compatible with a wide range of running activities, from road running to light trail running.
Care:
- Cleaning: After runs, use a soft brush or damp cloth to remove loose dirt from the upper and outsole. Avoid using harsh detergents or abrasive cleaners.
- Drying: Allow the shoes to air dry naturally at room temperature. Do not place them near direct heat sources like radiators or in a tumble dryer, as this can damage the materials and the GORE-TEX membrane.
- Waterproofing Maintenance: The GORE-TEX membrane is durable, but to maintain its performance, clean the shoes regularly. Avoid prolonged submersion in water.
- Laces: Inspect the quickLACE system periodically for wear and tear. Ensure the pocket is clear of debris to allow for easy storage of the laces.
