Product Information
Full details
The Salomon ACS+ GTX is a high-performance trainer engineered for adults seeking a blend of rugged durability and modern aesthetics. Ideal for those who need reliable support across various terrains, this footwear features the iconic Agil Chassis System (ACS) for enhanced stability. While it excels in versatile performance, users should note that the GORE-TEX (GTX) membrane, while waterproof, may reduce overall breathability during high-intensity exercise in warm, dry climates.

FAQs
Are these shoes truly waterproof?
Yes, they feature a GORE-TEX membrane which is designed to be waterproof while remaining semi-breathable.
Can I wear these for long-distance running?
While they provide great support, they are primarily designed as trainers for versatile use and walking rather than specialized long-distance running.
How do I choose the right size?
These trainers follow standard UK sizing. It is recommended to try them on at the end of the day when your feet are at their largest.
Are they suitable for summer use?
They can be worn in summer, but the waterproof GORE-TEX membrane may feel warmer than standard mesh trainers.
Can I replace the insoles?
Yes, the insoles are removable and can be swapped for custom orthotics or aftermarket insoles.
Troubleshooting
Moisture inside the shoe
Ensure the lace lockdown is secure and check for debris inside the collar; also, check for physical tears in the outer membrane.
Discomfort or pressure points
Adjust the lacing tension across the midfoot. If the issue persists, consider replacing the factory insole with one that better suits your arch type.
Loss of traction
Inspect the outsole for mud buildup or debris lodged in the lugs, which can reduce surface grip on smooth terrain.

Care Instructions:
- Cleaning: Remove loose mud or debris with a soft brush after every hike or trek.
- Washing: Avoid using a washing machine; hand wash with lukewarm water and a mild, non-detergent soap if necessary.
- Drying: Air dry away from direct heat sources like radiators, as high heat can damage the waterproof membrane and adhesives.
- Storage: Store in a cool, dry place out of direct sunlight to maintain the integrity of the materials.
