FAQs
Are these shoes waterproof?
Yes, they feature a Gore-Tex membrane designed to keep your feet dry in rain and wet trail conditions.
Can these be used for technical mountain scrambling?
Yes, the advanced chassis and Contagrip rubber provide the stability and traction needed for rocky, technical terrain.
How should I clean the leather upper?
Use a soft brush to remove dried mud and wipe with a damp cloth. Do not machine wash or soak the leather.
Are these shoes true to size?
Salomon sizing is generally standard, but it is recommended to leave a thumb's width of space at the front to account for foot swelling on long hikes.
What is the primary material used?
The exterior is constructed from durable leather, reinforced by a molded toe cap and a breathable waterproof membrane.
Troubleshooting
Water entering the shoe despite Gore-Tex
Check if water is entering through the ankle collar. Ensure your pant cuffs overlap the collar, or use gaiters for extreme conditions.
Stiff sensation during initial wear
Leather requires a break-in period. Tighten or loosen the laces to adjust pressure points and increase walking time gradually.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure the best performance from your X ULTRA 360 hiking shoes, follow these guidelines:
- Break-in: Wear the shoes indoors or on short walks for a few days to allow the leather to mold to your foot shape.
- Cleaning: After muddy hikes, remove excess dirt with a soft brush and rinse with lukewarm water. Avoid using harsh soaps which can damage the Gore-Tex membrane.
- Drying: Air dry naturally away from direct heat sources like radiators or fireplaces, which can crack the leather.
- Storage: Keep in a cool, dry area to prevent mold growth on the leather components.
