FAQs
Are these shoes waterproof?
Yes, they feature a built-in GORE-TEX membrane which provides comprehensive protection against rain and puddles while allowing moisture vapor to escape.
Can I use these for trail running?
While the X Ultra 360 is built for all-terrain stability, it is classified as a hiking shoe and is heavier than specialized trail running footwear.
Do these provide arch support?
The Advanced Chassis is integrated to provide structural support for the foot, aiding in stability and fatigue reduction on uneven terrain.
How should I clean the leather upper?
Use a soft-bristle brush to remove dry dirt and wipe the surface with a damp cloth. Avoid harsh soaps or detergents.
Is the sizing true to size?
Most users find the Salomon X Ultra series fits true to size, but remember to account for the thickness of the socks you intend to wear.
What is the primary difference between these and standard sneakers?
These shoes offer reinforced protective components like a molded toe cap and a stable chassis, which are not present in standard athletic footwear.
Troubleshooting
Feeling pressure points during first wear
Adjust the lacing tension and ensure you are wearing appropriate moisture-wicking hiking socks. The leather upper will soften over time.
Reduction in waterproof performance
Clean the exterior surface of dirt and debris. If the water-repellent coating wears off, apply a reputable waterproofing spray specifically designed for leather-GORE-TEX footwear.
Slipping on loose rock
Ensure the outsole lugs are free of packed mud or debris, as this can interfere with the Contagrip traction pattern.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure the longevity of your X Ultra 360 shoes, it is important to properly maintain the leather and technical materials:
- Break-in: Wear the shoes on short, flat walks before attempting long-distance or high-elevation hikes to allow the leather to contour to your feet.
- Cleaning: After muddy hikes, remove loose dirt with a soft brush. Use a damp cloth to clean the exterior; avoid submerging them in a washing machine, as this can degrade the waterproof membrane.
- Drying: Air dry the shoes at room temperature. Never place them directly against heat sources like radiators or campfires, as excessive heat can cause the leather to crack and damage the adhesive bonds.
- Storage: Store in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight to prevent material degradation.
