FAQs
Are these shoes waterproof?
Yes, they feature an integrated GORE-TEX membrane designed to keep your feet dry in wet conditions.
Can I use these for winter hiking?
While they provide great traction, they are categorized as hiking shoes; ensure you wear appropriate thermal socks for cold weather insulation.
How should I clean the leather upper?
Use a soft brush to remove loose dirt and a damp cloth for deeper cleaning. Avoid submerging them or using soaps.
Are these suitable for wide feet?
The X Ultra 360 series generally follows a standard athletic fit. If you have particularly wide feet, you may find the leather takes a bit longer to stretch comfortably.
What is the primary difference between these and trail running shoes?
These hiking shoes feature a more rigid chassis for stability with heavy packs and higher durability compared to the lighter, more flexible build of trail running shoes.
Troubleshooting
Feeling discomfort during the first few wears
The leather upper requires a break-in period; wear the shoes for shorter durations initially and use moisture-wicking hiking socks.
Reduction in waterproof performance over time
Ensure the exterior is kept free of mud and dirt. If the waterproof capability diminishes, you may need to reapply a leather-safe DWR treatment.
Pros and Cons

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Because these shoes utilize a leather upper, it is recommended to wear them on short walks before heading out on a multi-day hike to allow the material to conform to your foot. To maintain the GORE-TEX membrane's effectiveness, avoid using harsh chemicals or abrasive brushes during cleaning. After use in muddy conditions, gently rinse the outsole and wipe down the leather with a soft cloth. Always air-dry your shoes at room temperature away from direct heat sources, such as radiators or fireplaces, as excessive heat can degrade the leather and the adhesives used in the sole construction.
