Combining Salomon's heritage of technical trail design with a sleek black and silver aesthetic, these trainers provide excellent stability and protection in varying conditions.

FAQs
Are these shoes suitable for running?
While the ACS+ GTX is highly capable for light jogging and mixed-terrain movement, it is primarily designed as a robust trainer for walking, hiking, and daily use rather than a dedicated high-mileage road running shoe.
How should I clean the GTX membrane?
Use a damp cloth and mild soap to wipe the exterior. Avoid harsh detergents or scrubbing brushes that could damage the waterproof membrane integrity.
Do these trainers run true to size?
Salomon trainers generally follow standard sizing. If you prefer to wear thicker hiking socks, some users find sizing up by a half-size provides a more comfortable fit.
Can I wear these in snow?
Yes, the Gore-Tex membrane makes these suitable for light snow and slush, providing both water resistance and protection against the cold.
What is the primary function of the ACS chassis?
The Advanced Chassis System provides lateral stability and prevents unwanted foot torsion, helping to reduce fatigue during long periods of walking or standing on uneven surfaces.
Troubleshooting
Water penetrating the shoe
Ensure the shoe is securely laced to maintain the seal. Check for any debris caught in the tongue or eyelets.
Discomfort or hotspots during use
Adjust the lacing tension and ensure the tongue is centered. If issues persist, consider replacing the factory insole with one tailored to your arch height.
Stiff sensation when new
The shoe features a supportive chassis which requires a brief break-in period. Wear them for shorter periods during the first week to allow the materials to adapt to your foot shape.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To maximize the lifespan of your Salomon ACS+ GTX trainers, proper maintenance is essential.
- Fit: Ensure you are wearing the appropriate thickness of sock for your activity. The trainers should feel snug but not restrictive.
- Cleaning: Wipe away loose mud and debris with a soft brush after every outing. For deeper cleaning, use lukewarm water and a mild soap solution. Avoid using a washing machine, as the heat and agitation can degrade the waterproof membrane.
- Drying: Air dry the shoes at room temperature. Never place them near direct heat sources like radiators or fireplaces, as excessive heat can cause materials to warp or adhesives to fail.
- Storage: Store in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight to prevent material discoloration and brittleness.
