FAQs
Are these shoes truly waterproof?
Yes, they feature a GORE-TEX membrane designed to keep water out while allowing internal moisture to escape.
Do I need to break in the leather?
Yes, because these shoes incorporate leather panels, it is recommended to wear them on short walks before heading out on long-distance hikes.
How should I clean the leather material?
Use a soft brush to remove dirt after it has dried, and wipe with a damp cloth if necessary. Avoid submerging them in water.
Can these be used for heavy backpacking?
They are designed for hiking and offer significant stability, making them suitable for moderate-load backpacking trips.
Is the sole compatible with orthotic insoles?
Yes, the stock insoles are removable, allowing you to insert your own custom orthotics if required.
Troubleshooting
Water leaking into the shoe during hikes
Ensure the shoe is laced tightly and check the GORE-TEX membrane for punctures or excessive wear; if the exterior leather is saturated, re-apply a leather-safe waterproof treatment.
Slipping on smooth rock surfaces
Clean the outsole lugs of any trapped mud or debris, as clogged tread significantly reduces the effectiveness of the Contagrip technology.
Heel slippage or discomfort
Adjust the lacing pattern to ensure a secure lockdown across the midfoot, or consider using a performance hiking sock to improve the internal fit.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure your Salomon X Ultra 360 shoes last for many seasons, proper maintenance is essential. Always loosen the laces fully when putting the shoes on or taking them off to prevent heel wear. After muddy hikes, rinse the outsoles with lukewarm water and allow the shoes to air dry naturally away from direct heat sources like radiators, which can damage the leather and waterproof membrane. If the exterior gets particularly dirty, use a soft-bristled brush to gently remove debris once the mud has dried. Periodically check the laces and insoles for signs of wear and replace them as needed to maintain performance.
