FAQs
Are these shoes suitable for wide feet?
The Salomon X Ultra 360 shoes are designed with a standard fit. While the QuickLACE system allows for some adjustability, individuals with significantly wide feet might find them snug. Trying them on is recommended to assess the fit for your specific foot width.
How do I clean the leather parts of the shoes?
Clean leather with a damp cloth and mild soap, then allow to air dry. For best results and to maintain water resistance, use a dedicated leather conditioner periodically.
What is the main advantage of the FuzeFOAM midsole?
The FuzeFOAM midsole provides enhanced underfoot comfort by offering superior cushioning while remaining lightweight and dynamic, reducing fatigue during long hikes.
Can I use these shoes for trail running?
While they offer good grip and a lightweight feel, the X Ultra 360 are primarily designed as hiking shoes. For dedicated trail running, shoes with more specialized features for running dynamics and impact absorption might be more appropriate.
How durable is the outsole?
The outsole is optimized for versatility and firm grip. It is constructed from durable rubber compounds designed to withstand abrasion from various terrains, ensuring longevity for regular hiking use.
What is the benefit of the QuickLACE system?
The QuickLACE system offers a fast, convenient, and secure way to tighten and loosen your shoes with a single pull, allowing for easy adjustments on the go and a consistent fit.
Are these shoes waterproof?
The Salomon X Ultra 360 are water-resistant due to their materials and construction, offering protection against light moisture and splashes. However, they are not fully waterproof and may not keep feet dry during prolonged immersion in water or heavy rain.
Troubleshooting
Laces not tightening or loosening properly
Ensure the QuickLACE cord is clean and free of debris. Check that the toggle mechanism is functioning correctly. If damaged, contact customer support.
Discomfort or rubbing during wear
Adjust the QuickLACE tension for a more personalized fit. Ensure you are wearing appropriate hiking socks. If the issue persists, the shoe may not be the correct fit for your foot shape.
Reduced grip on wet surfaces
While designed for versatility, extreme wet conditions may require more specialized footwear. Clean the outsole regularly to remove mud or debris that can affect traction. Consider drier conditions or slower speeds if grip is compromised.
Water seeping into the shoe
The shoes offer some water resistance but are not fully waterproof. For prolonged exposure to heavy rain or deep water, consider gaiters or waterproof socks. Ensure leather treatments are up-to-date.

Setup, Compatibility & Care Instructions
Setup: The Salomon X Ultra 360 Hiking Shoes come ready to wear. The primary setup involves adjusting the QuickLACE system to your preferred fit. To tighten, pull the laces upwards; to loosen, pull the toggle. Ensure the laces are tucked into the lace pocket on the tongue to prevent snagging.
Compatibility: These shoes are designed for men and are ideal for adult use. They are best suited for hiking and walking on varied outdoor terrains including trails, gravel, and moderate off-road paths. They are compatible with standard hiking socks.
Care:
- Cleaning: Remove loose dirt with a brush. Clean the leather and synthetic materials with a damp cloth and mild soap. Do not use harsh detergents or abrasive cleaners.
- Drying: Allow the shoes to air dry naturally at room temperature. Avoid direct heat sources like radiators or prolonged exposure to sunlight, as this can damage the materials. Stuffing with newspaper can help absorb moisture and maintain shape.
- Maintenance: For leather components, periodic application of a waterproofing treatment or leather conditioner can help maintain flexibility and water resistance. Ensure the QuickLACE system remains clean for smooth operation.
