FAQs
What is the primary benefit of the Energy Foam midsole?
The Energy Foam midsole provides a combination of dynamic responsiveness and cushioning, offering a reactive bounce for an energetic feel during your run.
How does the QuickLACE system work?
The QuickLACE system is an intuitive, one-pull tightening mechanism that allows for a secure and effortless fit. You simply pull the lace tight and tuck the excess into the lace garage.
Can these shoes be used for technical trail running?
These shoes are designed for versatility, including light trails. For highly technical, rocky, or muddy trails, a shoe with a more aggressive tread and enhanced protection might be more suitable.
How do I determine the correct UK size?
Refer to the sizing chart provided by Salomon or the retailer. Generally, UK sizing for men's footwear follows a standard scale, but it's recommended to try them on if possible, especially given the specific fit of running shoes.
What is the intended use of the AERO FLOW GRVL trainers?
They are intended for adult male runners who need a versatile shoe that performs well on roads, gravel paths, and light trails, offering comfort and a reactive ride.
How often should I clean my trainers?
It's best to clean them after use, especially if they are dirty. A quick brush-off after each run is recommended, with deeper cleaning as needed following the care instructions.
Are these shoes waterproof?
The product description does not indicate that these trainers are waterproof. They are designed for general running conditions and may not offer protection in heavy rain or wet environments.
Troubleshooting
QuickLACE system is difficult to tighten or loosen
Ensure there are no small stones or debris lodged in the lace lock or channels. Wipe the lace clean. If the lace appears frayed, it may need replacement.
Discomfort or rubbing on the foot
Adjust the tightness of the QuickLACE system for a more even pressure distribution. Ensure you are wearing appropriate athletic socks. Try the shoes with slightly different lacing patterns.
Reduced grip on wet surfaces
The outsole is designed for a balance of grip. On very wet or slick surfaces, reduce speed and exercise caution. Ensure the outsole is clean of mud or debris, which can impede grip.
Shoes feel too firm or lack cushioning
The Energy Foam midsole offers responsive cushioning, which can feel firmer than highly plush foams. Ensure the shoes are broken in sufficiently. Use with cushioned socks if additional softness is desired.

Care: To maintain the performance and longevity of your Salomon AERO FLOW GRVL trainers:
- Cleaning: After each use, brush off any loose dirt or mud. For deeper cleaning, use a soft brush or cloth with cold water and mild soap. Avoid using harsh detergents or abrasive cleaners.
- Drying: Always air dry your shoes at room temperature. Do not place them near direct heat sources like radiators or in direct sunlight, as this can damage the materials and affect the shape.
- Storage: Store your shoes in a cool, dry place when not in use. Ensure they are completely dry before storing to prevent odor and mildew.
- Laces: Periodically check the QuickLACE system for wear and tear. Clean the lace and its housing mechanism if debris accumulates.
