FAQs
Are these shoes suitable for winter hiking?
Yes, the Gore-Tex membrane and aggressive Contagrip traction make them suitable for winter trail use, provided you wear appropriate thermal socks.
How should I clean the leather upper?
Use a damp cloth to wipe away surface dirt. If the shoes are heavily soiled, use a mild soap specifically made for leather footwear.
Do I need to break these in?
Yes, because the upper is made of leather, it is recommended to wear them on several shorter walks before attempting a long-distance hike.
Can I replace the insoles?
Yes, the provided insoles are removable and can be replaced with custom orthotics or aftermarket insoles.
How does the size run?
The X ULTRA 360 generally follows standard sizing, but it is best to try them on while wearing the specific socks you intend to use for hiking.
Troubleshooting
Water entering the shoe during heavy rain
Ensure the laces are tied tightly and consider using gaiters to prevent water from entering through the ankle collar.
Reduced grip on smooth rock
Check the outsole for mud buildup and wash away any debris stuck in the lugs, as clean rubber performs significantly better on rock.
Discomfort or hotspots during break-in
Ensure you are using moisture-wicking hiking socks of appropriate thickness and adjust the lacing pressure to redistribute tension.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Before your first long hike, ensure the fit is snug but allows for natural toe splay. If using orthotics, remove the stock insole to verify volume compatibility. To maintain the life of your leather upper, brush off dried mud after every use with a soft-bristle brush. Avoid direct heat sources like radiators when drying the shoes; instead, stuff them with newspaper and let them air dry in a well-ventilated area to prevent the leather from cracking. Periodically re-treat the outer material with a leather-safe water repellent to maintain the efficiency of the Gore-Tex membrane.
