FAQs
What type of terrain is the Salomon ACS Pro Advanced best suited for?
These shoes are best suited for technical trail running, including rocky, muddy, and uneven surfaces where superior traction and support are critical.
How should I clean my Salomon ACS Pro Advanced shoes?
Remove loose dirt with a soft brush. For deeper cleaning, use a damp cloth with mild soap. Do not machine wash or tumble dry. Allow to air dry naturally.
Are these shoes waterproof?
The Salomon ACS Pro Advanced features a durable and breathable mesh upper with leather accents. While it offers good protection against splashes and light moisture, it is not described as fully waterproof. For waterproof needs, look for models specifically labeled with Gore-Tex or similar technology.
What is the recommended break-in period for these shoes?
We recommend a short break-in period of a few walks or easy runs (20-30 miles) to allow the shoes to conform to your foot shape before tackling long or highly technical trails.
Can I use these shoes for road running?
While technically possible, the rugged outsole and supportive design are optimized for off-road conditions. For road running, a shoe with a smoother outsole and different cushioning profile would be more efficient and comfortable.
What materials are used in the upper of the Salomon ACS Pro Advanced?
The upper is crafted from a durable and breathable mesh, complemented by premium leather overlays for enhanced support and durability.
How do I choose the correct size for the Salomon ACS Pro Advanced?
We recommend referring to Salomon's official sizing guide. Generally, trail running shoes should have a little extra space (about a thumb's width) in the toe box to accommodate foot swelling during long runs and descents.
Does this shoe provide good ankle support?
The design focuses on overall foot stability and support, which indirectly aids ankle stability through a secure fit and robust midsole. For maximum ankle support, consider a high-top trail shoe or brace if needed.
Troubleshooting
Foot discomfort or hot spots during runs
Ensure you have the correct shoe size and width. Experiment with different lacing techniques to find a secure yet comfortable fit. Allow for a proper break-in period.
Reduced traction on wet or loose terrain
Check the outsole for embedded debris (rocks, mud) and clean the lugs thoroughly. Inspect the outsole for excessive wear; worn lugs will reduce grip.
Upper material showing signs of wear or tearing prematurely
While durable, sharp objects or extreme abrasion can cause damage. Avoid dragging your feet on very rough surfaces. Clean regularly to prevent material breakdown from dirt and sweat.
Unpleasant odor developing inside the shoes
Always air out your shoes after each use. Remove insoles to allow them to dry separately. Use shoe deodorizers or sprinkle baking soda inside to absorb moisture and neutralize odors.
Slipping inside the shoe, especially on descents
Ensure your laces are securely tied and your foot is snug but not constricted. Wearing appropriate, moisture-wicking socks can also improve fit and prevent friction.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup
- Lacing: Ensure proper lacing for a secure, comfortable fit. The lacing system (Info needed: [Lacing system type, e.g., Quicklace]) should evenly distribute pressure across your foot without being too tight.
- Initial Wear: Wear them for short walks or easy runs to break them in gradually before tackling long or technical trails.
Compatibility
- Terrain: Best suited for technical trails, rocky paths, mud, and uneven surfaces. The deep lugs are designed for optimal grip in these conditions.
- Activity: Primarily designed for trail running, but can also be used for hiking or fastpacking due to its stability and comfort.
- Foot Type: Accommodates various foot types, but individuals with specific orthotic needs should check for sufficient insole space.
Care Instructions
- Cleaning: After each run, remove loose dirt and debris with a soft brush. For stubborn mud, use a damp cloth and mild soap. Do not machine wash or tumble dry.
- Drying: Allow shoes to air dry naturally at room temperature. Avoid direct heat sources like radiators or sunlight, which can damage materials.
- Storage: Store in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight. Ensure they are clean and dry before storing to prevent odor and material degradation.
- Maintenance: Regularly check the outsole for embedded rocks and remove them to maintain traction and prevent damage to the lugs.
