FAQs
What type of terrain is best suited for the Salomon ACS Pro Advanced?
This shoe is ideally suited for challenging trail running on varied terrain, including rocky paths, muddy trails, loose gravel, and technical ascents and descents, thanks to its rugged outsole and supportive design.
How should I clean my Salomon ACS Pro Advanced shoes?
To clean, gently brush off loose dirt. For stubborn grime, use a damp cloth with mild soap, then air dry away from direct heat. Do not machine wash or tumble dry, as this can damage the materials.
Is this shoe suitable for casual everyday wear?
While primarily designed for high-performance trail running, its sleek and modern design makes it a stylish option for casual everyday wear as well.
What is the benefit of the deep lugs on the outsole?
The deep lugs provide superior traction and stability, offering excellent grip on uneven, slippery, and challenging surfaces, enhancing your confidence and performance on the trails.
How does the responsive midsole contribute to my run?
The responsive midsole offers exceptional cushioning that absorbs impact and provides energy return, helping to reduce fatigue and maintain comfort during long runs on tough terrain.
Troubleshooting
Foot discomfort or rubbing during runs
Ensure you are wearing appropriate socks. Check lacing to confirm it's snug but not overly tight. A brief break-in period may also alleviate initial discomfort as the shoes adapt to your feet.
Reduced traction on wet or muddy surfaces
Regularly clean the deep lugs on the outsole to prevent mud or debris build-up, which can reduce grip. Evaluate your running form and consider adjusting your stride on particularly slick terrain.
Squeaking sound while walking or running
Sometimes, new shoes can squeak due to friction between parts or materials. Ensure laces are tied properly. If the sound persists, it might be due to an insole rubbing; try removing and reinserting it, or consider a different insole.

Care
To ensure the longevity and sustained performance of your Salomon ACS Pro Advanced, proper care is essential:
