FAQs
Are these shoes suitable for very cold weather?
The Gore-Tex membrane provides waterproofing and breathability, offering comfort in various conditions. However, these shoes are not specifically insulated for extreme cold. For very cold or snowy conditions, consider adding thermal socks or a more insulated footwear option.
How do I determine the correct size?
Refer to the UK sizing guide. It is recommended to try them on with your typical hiking socks. Ensure there is enough room in the toe box for comfort during descents, and the heel should feel secure without slipping.
Can I machine wash these hiking shoes?
No, machine washing is not recommended as it can damage the materials, adhesives, and the Gore-Tex membrane. Hand wash using a brush and mild soap, then air dry.
What is the expected lifespan of the Contagrip sole?
The lifespan of the Contagrip sole depends heavily on the frequency of use, terrain types, and maintenance. With regular care and appropriate use, the sole is designed for durability on hiking trails.
Is the Gore-Tex membrane removable?
No, the Gore-Tex membrane is integrated into the shoe's construction and is not removable.
What is the primary difference between the X Ultra 360 and other X Ultra models?
The X Ultra 360 series often features updated chassis designs and material improvements for enhanced stability and comfort compared to previous iterations, building on the established performance of the X Ultra line.
Troubleshooting
Feet feel wet despite Gore-Tex.
Ensure the shoe's laces are tied properly to prevent water ingress from the top. Check for any damage to the Gore-Tex membrane. Ensure socks are not a source of moisture.
Traction issues on slippery surfaces.
Clean the Contagrip sole of any embedded mud or debris. The sole's effectiveness can be reduced when clogged. Ensure the terrain is within the shoe's intended grip capabilities.
Discomfort or rubbing after initial wear.
Break-in period may be required. Wear the shoes for shorter walks initially. Ensure the lacing is adjusted correctly for your foot shape. Consider wearing thicker hiking socks.

Care Instructions:
- Cleaning: After use, remove loose dirt and mud with a brush. For a deeper clean, use a damp cloth and mild soap. Avoid harsh detergents or abrasive cleaners.
- Drying: Allow the shoes to air dry naturally at room temperature. Do not place them near direct heat sources like radiators or fires, as this can damage the materials and affect the waterproof membrane.
- Waterproofing Maintenance: Periodically re-apply a suitable waterproofing treatment to the leather and fabric components to maintain their water-repellent properties, especially after significant cleaning.
- Storage: Store the shoes in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight when not in use.
