Product Information

Full details

The Salomon AERO Flow GRVL trainers are designed for adult male runners seeking a versatile shoe for varied terrain. They offer excellent stability and protection, making them ideal for moving from asphalt to gravel to trail. A key caveat is that while versatile, they are optimized for a variety of surfaces rather than a single extreme condition. Key features include advanced chassis for stability, a quickLACE system for convenience, and a GORE-TEX membrane for waterproofing.

FAQs

Are these shoes suitable for road running only?

No, the AERO Flow GRVL are designed for enhanced versatility, with an optimized outsole for firm grip on asphalt, gravel, and trail. They are particularly well-suited for mixed-terrain running.

How do I clean the GORE-TEX membrane?

The GORE-TEX membrane is integrated into the shoe lining. Clean the exterior of the shoe as recommended in the 'Care' section. Avoid using harsh chemicals directly on the membrane.

What is the main benefit of the Advanced Chassis?

The Advanced Chassis provides superior stability and support, inspired by Salomon's X Ultra line, helping to protect your foot on uneven terrain and ensuring a confident stride.

Can I replace the quickLACE system with traditional laces?

The quickLACE system is integrated into the shoe's design. While modifications are possible, it is not recommended as it may affect the shoe's fit and performance characteristics. Replacement parts for the quickLACE system are available.

Are these shoes suitable for hiking or just running?

While primarily designed as trainers, their stability, protection, and grip make them suitable for moderate hiking on varied terrain as well.

How do I store the shoes when not in use?

Store the shoes in a cool, dry place, away from direct sunlight. Ensure they are clean and dry before storage to maintain their condition.

Troubleshooting

Shoes feel too tight or too loose

Adjust the quickLACE system. Ensure the locking toggle is set correctly and the excess lace is tucked into the lace pocket. For a more permanent adjustment, you may need to re-tie the lace mechanism itself.

Feet feel wet despite GORE-TEX membrane

Check for tears or damage to the GORE-TEX membrane. Ensure the shoe's tongue is properly positioned to prevent water ingress. Sometimes, sweat can be mistaken for external moisture; ensure proper sock choice.

Traction feels poor on a specific surface

Ensure the outsole is free from mud, gravel, or debris. For very specific or extreme conditions, consider if the surface exceeds the intended versatility of the optimized outsole.

quickLACE system won't tighten or loosen properly

Check the lace pathway for obstructions. Ensure the locking toggle mechanism is clean and functioning correctly. If damaged, the quickLACE system may require professional attention or replacement.

Pros and Cons

  • Quick and easy lacing system

  • May not be specialized for extreme conditions

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup: These trainers come ready to wear. The primary setup involves adjusting the quickLACE system for your personal comfort and foot shape. Ensure the laces are pulled evenly and the excess lace is secured using the lace pocket on the tongue.

Compatibility: Designed for adult male foot sizes. They are compatible with most running sock types. The quickLACE system is proprietary to Salomon and may not be compatible with third-party lace replacement systems.

Care:

  1. Cleaning: After use, brush off loose dirt. For deeper cleaning, use a soft brush or cloth with cool water and mild soap. Avoid harsh detergents or solvents.
  2. Drying: Remove insoles and air dry shoes naturally at room temperature. Do not place near direct heat sources like radiators or in a tumble dryer, as this can damage the materials and the GORE-TEX membrane.
  3. Waterproofing Maintenance: While the GORE-TEX membrane is durable, avoid exposing the shoes to excessive abrasion or sharp objects that could compromise its integrity. Periodically check the seal around the membrane.
