Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure the longevity of your Salomon X Ultra 360 hiking shoes, follow these care guidelines:
- Break-in: Wear your shoes on short walks before heading out on long-distance treks to allow the leather to conform to your feet.
- Cleaning: After muddy hikes, remove loose dirt with a soft brush. Use a damp cloth to wipe the leather surfaces; avoid submerging them in water.
- Drying: Air dry the shoes in a cool, shaded area. Keep them away from direct heat sources like radiators or sunlight, as this can cause the leather to crack and the adhesive to degrade.
- Waterproofing: While the GORE-TEX lining is waterproof, you may use a leather-specific water repellent spray to maintain the outer leather's resistance to saturation over time.
- Storage: Store in a dry, well-ventilated space to prevent mildew buildup inside the shoe.
