FAQs
Are these shoes suitable for winter hiking?
The Gore-Tex membrane provides water resistance and warmth, making them suitable for general hiking in mixed conditions. For extreme cold or deep snow, consider insulated winter-specific boots.
How do I know if I have the right size?
You should have 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 significant lift when walking. Trying them on with your typical hiking socks is recommended.
Can I replace the insoles?
Yes, the insoles are typically removable, allowing you to insert custom orthotics or alternative insoles for personalized comfort and support.
How often should I clean these shoes?
It's best to clean off loose dirt and mud after each hike. A more thorough cleaning with mild soap and water can be done periodically, especially after particularly dirty or wet excursions.
What is the main advantage of the Contagrip outsole?
The Contagrip outsole is designed to provide optimal traction on a wide variety of terrains, ensuring stability and grip whether surfaces are dry, wet, hard, or loose.
Does the Gore-Tex membrane require special maintenance?
While Gore-Tex is highly durable, it's beneficial to keep the shoes clean and occasionally use a suitable waterproofing treatment for the leather to ensure overall protection and breathability are maintained.
Troubleshooting
Reduced grip on wet surfaces
Ensure the Contagrip outsole is clean. Mud or debris can reduce its effectiveness. Check for excessive wear on the tread pattern.
Feet feel wet despite Gore-Tex
Check that the laces are tied securely to prevent water ingress. Ensure socks are not saturated, which can wick moisture into the shoe. The Gore-Tex membrane may be compromised if the shoes are heavily damaged or excessively old; consider re-waterproofing or replacement.
Discomfort or rubbing
Ensure the correct size has been selected. Try adjusting the lacing pattern or wearing different hiking socks. Allow more time for the shoes to break in with shorter walks.
Stiffness in leather
Apply a leather conditioner specifically designed for outdoor footwear to maintain suppleness. Ensure the shoes are not left to dry out completely after getting wet.

Care: To maintain the performance and longevity of your Salomon X Ultra 360 Hiking Shoes:
- Cleaning: After each use, remove loose dirt and mud with a soft brush or damp cloth. For stubborn dirt, use a mild soap and water solution. Avoid using harsh chemicals or abrasive cleaners.
- Drying: Allow shoes to air dry naturally at room temperature. Do not expose them to direct heat sources such as radiators or hairdryers, as this can damage the materials, especially the Gore-Tex membrane.
- Waterproofing: The Gore-Tex membrane provides water resistance. Periodically check and reapply a suitable waterproofing treatment for leather hiking boots if water absorption becomes noticeable over time.
- Storage: Store in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight when not in use.
