FAQs
Are these shoes waterproof?
Yes, the GTX designation indicates a Gore-Tex membrane, which is designed to keep water out while allowing moisture vapor to escape.
Are these trainers suitable for long-distance running?
The ACS+ series is designed primarily for support and stability in varied environments, making them excellent for hiking and casual activity, though running performance depends on your personal gait.
How should I clean my Salomon ACS+ GTX shoes?
Use a damp cloth and mild soap to wipe away debris. Do not machine wash or use harsh detergents as these can degrade the waterproof materials.
Is the fit true to size?
Salomon shoes generally follow a performance fit. It is recommended to check the specific UK size guide provided to ensure the best fit for your foot length.
Can I wear these in hot weather?
While the GTX membrane is breathable, it is optimized for protection. They will perform best in mild to cool, wet conditions.
Troubleshooting
Waterproofing feels less effective over time
Ensure the exterior fabric is clean. Mud and dust can clog the pores of the fabric, preventing it from breathing. Cleaning the shoes often helps restore breathability.
Foot feels pinched or tight
Adjust the lacing system to distribute pressure evenly across the instep. If the issue persists, ensure you are wearing socks of the appropriate thickness.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Because these are high-performance trainers, proper care extends their lifespan. Ensure you lace the shoes to secure your midfoot before heading out. For maintenance, remove surface dirt with a soft brush after use in mud or dust. To clean deeper, use lukewarm water and a mild soap, then allow them to air dry naturally away from direct heat sources, which can damage the synthetic materials and the Gore-Tex membrane. Always store in a cool, dry place when not in use.
