Product Information
Full details
The Salomon AERO Flow GRVL Gore-tex Trainers are designed for active adult women seeking a versatile, protective, and comfortable shoe for all-terrain running. Their key benefit lies in providing a secure fit and reliable grip across varied surfaces, from asphalt to gravel and trails, while keeping feet dry thanks to a GORE-TEX membrane. A potential caveat to consider is the specific nature of the Quicklace system, which may require an adjustment period for those accustomed to traditional laces.

FAQs
Are these shoes suitable for road running?
While they can be used on asphalt, their design is optimized for mixed terrain including gravel and trails. For extensive road running, a dedicated road shoe might offer more specialized cushioning and tread.
How do I clean the GORE-TEX membrane?
The GORE-TEX membrane is integrated into the shoe's construction. Clean the exterior of the shoe as per the care instructions. Avoid harsh chemicals that could degrade the membrane's performance.
What is the benefit of the Sensifit system?
Sensifit works by cradling the foot from the midsole to the lacing system, providing a secure, snug, and personalized fit all around the foot, enhancing stability and ground feel.
Can I replace the Quicklace laces if they break?
Yes, replacement Quicklace laces are available from Salomon or specialized retailers. Ensure you purchase the correct type for your shoe model.
How do I ensure the waterproof feature remains effective?
Regularly clean the shoes to prevent mud and salt from clogging the GORE-TEX membrane's pores. Always air dry the shoes and avoid direct heat.
Are these trainers good for wide feet?
The Sensifit system offers an adaptable fit, but the shoe's inherent width may not be ideal for very wide feet. It's recommended to try them on if possible.
What is the intended use for the AERO Flow GRVL series?
This series is designed for versatile running on varied terrains, offering a balance of comfort, protection, and grip for gravel and light trails, suitable for training and everyday running.
Troubleshooting
Difficulty tightening/loosening Quicklace system
Ensure the lace is not tangled or caught. Try pulling the laces from the top for a smoother adjustment. If the lace is damaged, it may need replacement.
Slight water ingress despite GORE-TEX
Check for debris in the lace garage or potential damage to the membrane. Ensure the tongue is properly seated. Rinse the shoes thoroughly with clean water after use in muddy or salty conditions.
Fit feels too tight or too loose
Adjust the Quicklace system gradually. The Sensifit construction allows for on-the-fly micro-adjustments. Ensure you are wearing appropriate athletic socks.
Reduced grip on wet surfaces
Check the outsole for embedded debris like mud or small stones. Clean the sole thoroughly. The grip may also diminish with significant outsole wear over time.

Setup, Compatibility & Care Instructions
Setup:
These trainers are ready to wear straight out of the box. The Quicklace system is pre-tied, allowing for immediate adjustment. Simply slip on the shoe and pull the laces evenly to tighten, then tuck the excess lace into the lace garage on the tongue for a secure fit.
Compatibility:
Designed for adult female runners, these trainers are compatible with most standard athletic socks. They are intended for use on a variety of outdoor surfaces including asphalt, gravel, packed dirt, and moderate trails.
Care:
- Cleaning: After use, remove excess dirt with a soft brush. For deeper cleaning, use a damp cloth and mild soap. Do not machine wash or tumble dry.
- Drying: Always air dry your shoes away from direct heat sources. Stuffing them with newspaper can help absorb moisture and maintain their shape during drying.
- Storage: Store in a cool, dry place. Avoid prolonged exposure to direct sunlight.
- GORE-TEX Care: To maintain the waterproof properties, rinse the shoes with clean water after exposure to salt water or abrasive mud.
