FAQs
Are these shoes suitable for all-weather conditions?
Yes, thanks to the integrated Gore-Tex membrane, these shoes are designed to keep your feet dry and comfortable in wet conditions, while also offering breathability.
How durable are the soles?
The shoes feature Salomon's Contagrip studs, known for their excellent grip and durability on various terrains. With proper care, the soles are designed for long-lasting performance.
Can I use these for daily wear, not just hiking?
Absolutely. While built for the trails, the Salomon X-ULTRA Hiking Shoes offer a versatile design and comfort suitable for everyday casual wear.
What is the best way to clean these shoes?
Remove loose dirt with a soft brush. For deeper cleaning, use a damp cloth and mild soap. Allow them to air dry naturally away from direct heat. Always refer to the product label for specific care instructions.
Do these shoes require a break-in period?
While Salomon X-ULTRA shoes are generally comfortable out of the box, it's always recommended to wear them for shorter periods or around the house before your first long hike to ensure they're fully broken in to your feet.
What kind of socks should I wear with these?
For optimal comfort and performance, especially during hiking, we recommend wearing moisture-wicking hiking socks. Avoid cotton socks, as they retain moisture.
Troubleshooting
Feet feel wet despite Gore-Tex.
Ensure gaiters are worn correctly, inspect for membrane damage, or consider if sweat is accumulating due to non-breathable socks. Clean shoes and reapply DWR if the outer fabric is saturated.
Poor grip on certain surfaces.
Check the Contagrip studs for excessive wear or embedded debris. Clean the sole thoroughly. Ensure the shoes are suitable for the specific terrain; extreme conditions may require specialized footwear.
Discomfort or rubbing.
Verify you are wearing appropriate hiking socks. Ensure laces are tied correctly – not too loose or too tight. Break in new shoes with shorter walks before long hikes. Check for debris inside the shoe.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Compatibility
These shoes are designed for adults. Ensure you select the correct UK size for optimal comfort and performance. They are compatible with standard hiking socks and gaiters, if desired, for additional protection.
Care
To maintain the performance and longevity of your Salomon X-ULTRA Hiking Shoes:
- Cleaning: After use, remove loose dirt with a soft brush. For stubborn mud, use a damp cloth and mild soap. Avoid harsh detergents.
- Drying: Allow shoes to air dry naturally at room temperature. Avoid direct heat sources like radiators or sunlight, as this can damage materials. Remove insoles to speed up drying.
- Waterproofing: Periodically re-treat the outer material with a suitable DWR (Durable Water Repellent) spray to maintain water repellency, especially after extensive use or washing.
- Storage: Store shoes in a cool, dry, well-ventilated area, away from direct sunlight.
- Refer to Product Label: Always consult the specific care instructions provided on the shoe's product label for detailed guidance.
