FAQs
What type of running is the AERO FLOW GRVL best suited for?
These trainers are ideal for running on mixed terrain, including roads, gravel paths, and light trails. They offer a balance of cushioning for harder surfaces and grip for varied conditions.
How does the QuickLACE system work?
The QuickLACE system is a one-pull lacing mechanism. You pull the laces tight with the toggle for a secure fit and press the release button on the toggle to loosen them quickly. It allows for fast on-and-off and easy adjustments.
Can I use these for hiking?
While they offer good grip and comfort for light trails, they are primarily designed for running. For serious hiking on rough or technical terrain, dedicated hiking boots would be more appropriate.
How do I clean the white trainers?
Use a soft brush to remove loose dirt. Clean with a damp cloth and mild soap. Always air dry away from direct heat and sunlight. Avoid machine washing.
What is the main benefit of the Energy Foam midsole?
The Energy Foam midsole provides a combination of dynamic cushioning for comfort and a reactive bounce for an energetic and responsive running experience.
Are these shoes waterproof?
The product description does not specify waterproof capabilities. They are designed for breathability and performance on varied terrain, not necessarily for water protection.
What if the QuickLACE system breaks?
The QuickLACE system is generally durable. If a component fails, replacement parts or a full lace kit may be available from Salomon or specialty running stores.
Troubleshooting
QuickLACE system feels too tight or too loose.
Adjust the tension by carefully pulling on the laces or the toggle. If it's too tight, press the release button on the toggle. For a looser fit, simply slide the toggle down. Ensure the excess lace is tucked away securely to avoid snagging.
Traction feels reduced on wet surfaces.
Ensure the outsole is free from mud, debris, or excessive wear. While designed for grip, performance on extremely slick surfaces can be naturally limited. Clean the outsole after use and allow it to dry thoroughly.
Discomfort or rubbing during runs.
Verify the QuickLACE system is adjusted correctly for an even, secure fit without pressure points. Ensure you are wearing appropriate running socks. If the issue persists, consider if the shoe's shape is a good match for your foot.
Shoe appears to be losing its cushioning.
The Energy Foam midsole is designed for durability, but cushioning will naturally decrease with extensive use. This is a sign the shoes have served their purpose and may need replacement. Ensure you are not exposing them to extreme heat which can degrade the foam.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup: These trainers are designed for immediate use. Ensure the QuickLACE system is properly adjusted to your foot's comfort by pulling the laces evenly. The lacing system allows for quick tightening and loosening.
Compatibility: Suitable for adult male runners with a standard foot shape. The primary intended use is for running on mixed terrain, including asphalt, gravel, and light trails.
Care: To maintain the performance and appearance of your trainers:
- Cleaning: Remove loose dirt with a soft brush. For deeper cleaning, use a damp cloth and mild soap. Avoid machine washing or harsh detergents, as this can damage the materials and affect performance.
- Drying: Air dry the shoes at room temperature, away from direct heat sources like radiators or sunlight. Stuffing them with newspaper can help absorb moisture and maintain their shape during drying.
- Storage: Store in a cool, dry place when not in use. Avoid storing them in damp conditions or direct sunlight.
