FAQs
Are these shoes suitable for summer hiking?
Yes, although the GORE-TEX membrane provides waterproof protection, it is designed to be breathable for most three-season hiking activities.
Do these shoes run true to size?
Salomon shoes generally follow standard sizing, but because of the structured leather, some users prefer a half-size larger to accommodate thicker hiking socks.
How do I maintain the waterproof coating?
The waterproofness comes from the GORE-TEX internal membrane. Keep the exterior clean to ensure the shoe's breathability is not compromised by dirt buildup.
Can I replace the insoles?
Yes, the insoles are removable and can be replaced with custom orthotics or aftermarket insoles if needed.
Are they effective on snow?
While the Contagrip offers good traction, these are designed as hiking shoes and are not insulated for sub-zero temperatures or heavy snow trekking.
Troubleshooting
Water entering the shoe despite GORE-TEX
Ensure your pant legs are not channeling water into the shoe opening; consider using gaiters for deep mud or heavy rain.
Slippage on dry, loose gravel
Check that your laces are tightened sufficiently across the midfoot to prevent internal sliding, which can cause the outsole to lose its intended contact pressure.
Stiff feeling during initial use
The leather construction requires a break-in period. Try wearing the shoes for shorter durations at home or on light walks before embarking on long, technical hikes.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure the longevity of your Salomon X Ultra 360 hiking shoes, proper care is essential. When new, wear them on short walks to allow the leather to conform to your foot shape. After muddy hikes, remove the insoles and allow the shoes to air dry naturally away from direct heat sources like radiators, which can damage the leather and the GORE-TEX membrane. Clean the outsole regularly to keep the Contagrip lugs free of packed dirt for optimal traction. If the exterior gets dirty, wipe the leather with a soft cloth and, if necessary, use a specialized leather cleaning product to maintain the material's integrity.
