FAQs
Are these trainers suitable for road running?
While the AERO Flow GRVL trainers can handle asphalt, their outsole is optimized for gravel and trail. For extensive road running, dedicated road shoes might offer better cushioning and performance.
How do I clean the GORE-TEX membrane?
Clean the GORE-TEX membrane gently with a damp cloth and mild soap. Avoid abrasive cleaners, as they can damage the fabric and its waterproof properties.
Can I replace the Quicklace system?
Yes, replacement Quicklace kits are available from Salomon or specialized retailers. Instructions for replacement are typically included with the kit.
What is the main advantage of the Sensifit technology?
Sensifit technology provides a secure and precise foothold, ensuring the foot is held comfortably and effectively in place, especially during dynamic movements on uneven terrain.
How durable are these trainers for trail use?
These trainers are built with durable materials designed to withstand the rigors of trail running, offering protection and longevity for varied outdoor conditions.
What type of socks are best to wear with these trainers?
Moisture-wicking synthetic or wool blend running socks are recommended to complement the GORE-TEX breathability and keep feet dry from sweat.
Troubleshooting
Quicklace system feels too tight or loose
Adjust the tension by pulling the lace end or using the toggle. Ensure the lace is secured in the lace pocket. For a more permanent adjustment, consider re-tying the knot inside the pocket.
Feet feel damp despite GORE-TEX
Check for potential breaches in the membrane (e.g., significant abrasion) or ensure the footwear is not submerged for extended periods. Moisture can also come from sweat; ensure socks are moisture-wicking.
Traction feels insufficient on specific surfaces
Ensure the outsole is free from debris, mud, or ice. The tread is designed for versatility; performance may vary on extremely slick or specialized surfaces.
Discomfort or rubbing during runs
Verify the Quicklace tension is correct and the Sensifit is properly positioned. Try wearing different sock thicknesses or using specialized insoles if necessary. Break in the shoes gradually on shorter runs.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup: The Quicklace system is designed for immediate use. To achieve the best fit, slip your foot into the trainer and pull the laces evenly. Tuck the excess lace into the integrated lace pocket located on the tongue to prevent snagging. Ensure the Sensifit wraps snugly but comfortably around your foot.
Compatibility: These trainers are designed for adult female runners and are compatible with most standard running sock types. The primary function is for running and hiking on varied outdoor terrains.
Care:
- Cleaning: After use, remove loose dirt and mud with a soft brush or damp cloth. For deeper cleaning, hand wash with cool water and mild soap. Do not machine wash or tumble dry.
- Drying: Allow the trainers to air dry naturally at room temperature, away from direct heat sources. Remove insoles to aid drying if necessary.
- Waterproofing: The GORE-TEX membrane requires minimal maintenance. Avoid using harsh chemical cleaners or solvents, which can degrade the material. Regularly clean the shoe to maintain breathability.
