Full details

FAQs
Are these shoes waterproof?
Yes, they feature a GORE-TEX membrane designed to keep your feet dry in wet conditions.
Can I use these for winter hiking?
The X Ultra 360 is designed primarily for multi-season trail use. While the leather and waterproof lining provide protection, they are not specifically insulated for deep winter sub-zero temperatures.
How should I clean the leather upper?
Use a soft brush to remove dust and a damp cloth for deeper cleaning. Avoid submerging the shoes in water or using harsh chemicals.
Do these shoes run true to size?
Salomon generally follows standard sizing, but because these are hiking shoes, it is recommended to ensure your toes have enough room for downhill descents, typically allowing for a half-size larger than your casual footwear.
What is the purpose of the Advanced Chassis?
The chassis is a structured component between the outsole and midsole that provides stability and support, helping to prevent foot twisting on uneven ground.
Troubleshooting
Feeling of stiffness or discomfort during the first few wears
This is common with leather hiking footwear. Try adjusting the lacing tension and wear mid-weight hiking socks until the material softens.
Reduced traction in muddy conditions
Ensure the outsole lugs are clear of packed mud. Use a stiff-bristled brush to remove debris trapped between the treads.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure optimal performance and longevity, proper care is essential.
- Break-in: Wear the shoes for short periods on flat terrain before embarking on long, technical hikes to allow the leather to adapt to your foot shape.
- Cleaning: After muddy hikes, remove loose dirt with a soft brush. Use a damp cloth to wipe the leather clean. Avoid using harsh soaps that can strip the natural oils from the leather.
- Drying: Always air-dry your shoes at room temperature. Never place them near direct heat sources like radiators or campfires, as excessive heat can cause the leather to crack and damage the waterproof membrane.
- Storage: Store in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight when not in use for extended periods.
