Extended Product Information
FAQs
Are these shoes suitable for winter hiking?
Yes, the GORE-TEX membrane provides excellent wind and water protection, making them suitable for three-season use, though they are not insulated for extreme deep-winter conditions.
How do I check my size?
These shoes follow standard UK sizing; ensure you have about a thumb's width of space at the toes to accommodate foot swelling during long hikes.
Can I replace the insoles?
Yes, the provided insoles are removable and can be swapped for custom orthotics if preferred.
How often should I clean the leather?
Clean them whenever they become visibly muddy to prevent dirt from drying out the leather fibers and affecting breathability.
Is the leather waterproof?
The leather is treated and paired with a GORE-TEX membrane to ensure waterproof performance, provided the seams and surface are kept in good condition.
Troubleshooting
Foot slipping inside the shoe
Try the 'runner's loop' or 'heel lock' lacing technique to increase tension around the ankle.
Outer material showing water saturation
Apply a specialized leather-safe waterproofing spray after cleaning to restore the DWR (Durable Water Repellent) finish.
Feeling discomfort after long hikes
Ensure you are using the correct sock thickness for hiking; moisture-wicking wool blends prevent friction better than cotton.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure your Salomon X Ultra 360 hiking shoes remain in top condition, follow these guidelines:
- Breaking In: Wear your new shoes on short walks around the house or on local paved trails for 10-15 miles before attempting a long-distance hike to allow the leather to soften to your foot shape.
- Cleaning: Remove loose dirt with a soft brush after each hike. For mud, wipe with a damp cloth. Do not submerge the shoes completely in water.
- Drying: Always air dry at room temperature away from direct heat sources like radiators, which can crack the leather and damage the GORE-TEX membrane.
- Storage: Store in a cool, dry place. Using a shoe tree can help maintain the shape of the leather over time.
