FAQs

Are these shoes suitable for road running?

While durable, the rugged outsole and deep lugs are specifically designed for optimal traction on trails and uneven terrain. They may feel overly stiff or wear down faster if used extensively on hard road surfaces.

How should I choose the correct size?

We recommend referring to Salomon's official sizing chart. It's often helpful to measure your foot and compare it to the chart. Consider trying them on towards the end of the day when your feet are slightly swollen, and wear the type of socks you'd typically run in.

What is the break-in period for these shoes?

Most runners find these shoes comfortable from the start. However, like any performance footwear, a short break-in period of a few shorter runs is recommended to allow the shoe to mold to your foot and ensure optimal comfort for longer distances.

Can I machine wash these shoes?

No, machine washing is not recommended as it can damage the materials, adhesives, and overall structure of the shoe. Always follow the manual cleaning instructions provided in the care section.

What kind of terrain are these shoes best for?

The Salomon ACS Pro Advanced is best suited for challenging trail conditions, including rocky paths, muddy trails, technical ascents and descents, and general uneven natural landscapes where superior grip and support are crucial.

Troubleshooting

Foot discomfort or blisters during runs

Ensure correct sizing and proper lacing. Break in new shoes with shorter runs. Experiment with different types of running socks to find the best fit and material.

Laces frequently come undone

Try using a double knot for increased security, especially on long or technical runs. Ensure laces are pulled snugly across the foot.

Reduced traction on wet or loose surfaces

Check the outsole for mud or debris that might be caked in the lugs. Clean the outsole thoroughly. If the lugs are excessively worn, it may be time to consider replacing the shoes for optimal safety.

Unpleasant odor developing inside shoes

After each use, remove insoles and allow shoes to air dry completely. Use shoe deodorizers or sprinkle baking soda inside the shoes when not in use. Avoid storing shoes in confined, damp spaces.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup

Simply put on the shoes and adjust the lacing system for a secure and comfortable fit. Ensure your heel is properly seated, and there's adequate room for your toes to prevent discomfort during activity.

Compatibility

These shoes are designed for trail running, hiking, and activities on uneven or challenging natural terrain. They pair well with performance running socks and appropriate outdoor athletic apparel.

Care

To maximize the lifespan and performance of your Salomon ACS Pro Advanced shoes, follow these care guidelines:

  • Cleaning: After use, especially on muddy trails, gently brush off loose dirt. For deeper cleaning, use a mild soap and cold water with a soft brush or cloth. Avoid harsh detergents or hot water.
  • Drying: Allow shoes to air dry naturally in a well-ventilated area. Do not place them near direct heat sources (like radiators or in direct sunlight) as this can damage materials.
  • Storage: Store shoes in a cool, dry place. Ensure they are completely dry before storing to prevent odor and mildew.
  • Maintenance: Regularly check the outsole for embedded debris or excessive wear. Clean the lugs to maintain optimal traction.
