FAQs

Are these shoes suitable for everyday wear?

The Salomon X Ultra 360 are designed with advanced features for hiking on rugged terrain. While comfortable, their specialized construction and aggressive tread may be less ideal for casual, everyday walking on flat surfaces compared to lifestyle shoes.

How do I know if I have the right size?

Ensure there is about a finger's width of space between your longest toe and the front of the shoe when standing. The heel should feel secure without slipping, and the midfoot should be comfortably snug.

Can I machine wash these hiking shoes?

No, it is not recommended to machine wash these shoes as it can damage the materials, adhesives, and structural integrity. Hand-wash them with mild soap and water as described in the care instructions.

What does 'Advanced Chassis' mean for stability?

The Advanced Chassis is a technology integrated into the sole of the shoe designed to provide optimal stability, protection, and propulsion. It works to guide the foot while reducing fatigue.

How often should I clean my hiking shoes?

It's best to clean your hiking shoes after each significant use to remove dirt and debris that can degrade materials over time. A quick brush-off after every hike is recommended.

Are these shoes waterproof?

The product description does not specify a waterproof membrane. While the materials offer some protection, they are primarily designed for breathability and grip on trails, not full submersion or heavy, prolonged rain.

Troubleshooting

Shoes feel too tight after lacing

Loosen the laces slightly, starting from the top eyelets downwards, and re-lace, ensuring a snug but not constricting fit. Distribute tension evenly.

Reduced grip on wet surfaces

Ensure the Contagrip outsole is clean of mud and debris. For persistent issues on very slick surfaces, consider the limitations of any footwear and exercise caution.

Discomfort on longer hikes

Allow for a break-in period. Ensure you are wearing appropriate hiking socks. Adjust lacing mid-hike if needed to relieve pressure points.

Water ingress through seams

While designed for trail use, these shoes may not be fully waterproof. For very wet conditions, consider gaiters or waterproof socks. Clean and maintain materials to ensure optimal performance.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Excellent stability on challenging terrain
  • Superior grip across various surfaces
  • Durable construction for long-lasting use
  • Protective features for feet on rough trails
  • Comfortable and secure fit for hiking activities

Cons

  • May be too rigid for casual, non-trail use
  • Laces can sometimes snag on debris if not managed
  • Break-in period might be required for optimal comfort

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup: These shoes require no specific setup beyond ensuring they are the correct size and laced to your preference for a secure, comfortable fit. Adjust the lacing to achieve a snug feel without restricting circulation.

Compatibility: The X Ultra 360 is designed for trail hiking and outdoor activities. They are compatible with most types of hiking socks. For extended use in wet conditions, consider water-repellent socks.

Care: To maintain performance and longevity:

  1. Cleaning: After each use, brush off loose dirt and mud. For tougher grime, use a damp cloth or a soft brush with mild soap and cool water. Avoid harsh detergents or solvents.
  2. Drying: Allow shoes to air dry naturally at room temperature. Do not expose them to direct heat sources like radiators or hairdryers, as this can damage the materials. Stuffing with newspaper can help absorb moisture and retain shape.
  3. Storage: Store in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight when not in use.
