FAQs
Are the Salomon X ULTRA 360 hiking shoes waterproof?
These shoes are designed for water resistance, offering protection in moderately wet conditions. They are not fully waterproof like dedicated hiking boots.
How do I clean the QuickLACE system if it gets dirty?
You can clean the QuickLACE system by gently wiping it with a damp cloth. Ensure no dirt or debris is lodged in the mechanism.
Can I replace the QuickLACE laces if they break?
Yes, replacement QuickLACE kits are generally available from Salomon or specialty outdoor retailers. Follow the instructions provided with the replacement kit for installation.
What is the best type of sock to wear with these shoes?
Hiking-specific socks made from moisture-wicking materials like merino wool or synthetic blends are recommended for comfort and blister prevention.
How durable is the Energy Foam midsole?
The Energy Foam is designed for durability and responsiveness. With proper care and normal use, it should maintain its cushioning properties for a significant period.
What is the main advantage of the QuickLACE system?
The main advantage is its speed and convenience for tightening and loosening the shoes, allowing for quick adjustments on the go and a secure, even pressure distribution.
Troubleshooting
QuickLACE system feels too tight or too loose
Adjust the tension by pulling the lace ends upwards to tighten or outwards to loosen. Ensure the lace is properly seated in the locking mechanism. Tuck excess lace into the tongue pocket.
Traction feels inadequate on wet surfaces
While the outsole is designed for adaptability, extremely wet or slippery surfaces may reduce grip. Ensure the outsole is free of mud or debris. For challenging conditions, consider more aggressive footwear.
Feet feel uncomfortable after extended wear
Ensure the shoes were properly sized. Consider using different socks or insoles for personalized comfort and support. Break in the shoes gradually on shorter walks before embarking on long hikes.
Laces are difficult to adjust
Check the QuickLACE mechanism for any debris. Clean the mechanism with a damp cloth. Ensure the laces are not frayed or damaged.

Setup, Compatibility & Care Instructions
Setup:
These hiking shoes are designed for immediate use. The primary setup involves adjusting the QuickLACE system to your preferred tightness. To tighten, pull both lace ends upwards; to loosen, pull the lace ends outwards. The excess lace can be tucked into the lace pocket on the tongue for a clean finish.
Compatibility:
- Terrain: Suitable for asphalt, gravel paths, dirt trails, and moderate hiking terrain.
- Weather: Best suited for dry to moderately wet conditions. While offering some protection, they are not waterproof boots.
- Activity: Ideal for hiking, fast-packing, day trips, and general outdoor walking.
Care:
- Cleaning: After use, remove loose dirt with a soft brush. For deeper cleaning, use a damp cloth and mild soap. Avoid machine washing or harsh detergents.
- Drying: Allow shoes to air dry naturally at room temperature, away from direct heat sources like radiators or sunlight.
- Material Care: The leather components can be treated with appropriate leather conditioners to maintain flexibility and water resistance. Ensure laces are cleaned regularly to prevent buildup in the QuickLACE mechanism.
