FAQs
Are these shoes suitable for winter hiking?
The Gore-Tex membrane provides waterproofing and breathability, making them suitable for various conditions. However, for deep snow or extreme cold, consider additional thermal socks and check if the outsole grip is adequate for icy surfaces.
How do I ensure the best fit?
Try them on at the end of the day when your feet are slightly swollen. Wear the type of socks you would typically use for hiking. Ensure there's enough room in the toe box and that your heel does not lift excessively.
Can I machine wash these shoes?
No, machine washing is not recommended as it can damage the materials, adhesives, and waterproofing membranes.
What is the main advantage of the X ULTRA 360 series?
The X ULTRA 360 series is known for its excellent balance of stability, protection, and grip, making it a versatile choice for diverse hiking conditions.
How often should I re-waterproof the leather?
This depends on usage frequency and environmental conditions. It's advisable to re-waterproof after significant exposure to wet conditions or if you notice water starting to penetrate the leather.
What kind of socks are best to wear with these shoes?
Merino wool or synthetic hiking socks are recommended. They help wick away moisture, provide cushioning, and reduce the risk of blisters.
Troubleshooting
Feet feel wet inside.
Ensure laces are tied securely to prevent water ingress. Check for any damage to the Gore-Tex membrane. Allow shoes to dry completely and consider re-applying waterproofing treatment to the exterior.
Lack of grip on slippery surfaces.
Clean the Contagrip outsole to remove mud or debris that may be hindering traction. Ensure you are not walking on surfaces that exceed the intended grip capabilities of the shoe.
Discomfort or rubbing.
Ensure the correct size is being used. Try different lacing techniques to adjust pressure points. Wear appropriate hiking socks. If the issue persists, the shoe's fit may not be suitable for your foot shape.
Shoe feels stiff.
New hiking shoes often require a break-in period. Wear them for shorter walks initially to allow the materials to conform to your feet.
