FAQs
Are these trainers suitable for wide feet?
The Neuva Advanced Trainers are designed with a standard fit. While the materials offer some flexibility, individuals with significantly wide feet may find them snug. It is advisable to try them on if possible or consult sizing charts carefully.
What is the main benefit of optiFOAM+ Technology?
optiFOAM+ Technology provides enhanced cushioning and energy return, offering a more comfortable and responsive feel during movement, reducing impact on joints.
Can I machine wash these trainers?
No, machine washing is not recommended as it can damage the materials, adhesives, and structural integrity of the shoe. Hand cleaning as per the care instructions is the preferred method.
What type of surfaces is the Road contaGRIP® outsole best for?
The Road contaGRIP® outsole is optimized for traction on paved roads, sidewalks, and light, dry trails. It offers reliable grip on various urban and relatively smooth natural surfaces.
What does 'energyBLADE Running' do?
energyBLADE Running refers to an embedded technology designed to enhance energy transfer and promote a more efficient, propulsive stride, assisting in forward momentum during runs.
How durable is the leather and textile upper?
The combination of leather and textile provides a balance of durability and flexibility. The leather offers robustness, while textiles allow for breathability and comfort. A protective mudguard further enhances the durability around the lower part of the shoe.
What is the inspiration behind the Neuva Advanced design?
The design is inspired by the natural, flowing curves and sinuous courses of rivers, aiming to balance technical Salomon technologies with the fluid movement found in the natural world.
Troubleshooting
Discomfort during initial wear
The trainers feature advanced cushioning. Wear them for short durations initially and gradually increase wear time to allow your feet to adapt. Ensure the lacing is appropriate for your foot shape.
Reduced traction on wet surfaces
Check the Road contaGRIP® outsole for embedded debris. Clean the outsole thoroughly with water and a brush. While designed for grip, extreme wet conditions may still require caution.
Materials feel stiff
Leather and textile uppers may require a short break-in period. Consistent wear over a week should help them conform to your foot shape and soften.
Excessive moisture inside the shoe
Ensure you are using appropriate socks (e.g., moisture-wicking). Remove the OrthoLite® sockliner after wear to allow better air circulation and faster drying. If the issue persists, consider the ambient humidity and activity level.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Compatibility: The Salomon Neuva Advanced Trainers are designed for adult use, suitable for both male and unisex wearers. Their primary application is for road running, walking, and general athletic activities. They are compatible with standard athletic socks.
Care: To maintain the quality and appearance of your trainers:
- Cleaning the Upper: Use a soft brush or damp cloth to gently remove dirt and dust from the leather and textile surfaces. For tougher stains, a mild soap solution can be used sparingly.
- Lining and Insole: Remove the OrthoLite® sockliner and clean it separately with a damp cloth. Allow both the sockliner and the interior of the shoe to air dry completely.
- Outsole: Clean the Road contaGRIP® outsole with water and a brush to remove any trapped debris, ensuring optimal traction.
- Drying: Never dry shoes directly near heat sources like radiators or in direct sunlight, as this can damage the materials. Air dry at room temperature.
- Storage: Store in a cool, dry place when not in use, preferably in a shoe bag to protect them from dust and damage.
