Product Information
Full details
The Salomon X Ultra 360 Leather Mid Gore-Tex boots are designed for adult male hikers who require a balance of rugged durability and agile support. Built on the iconic X Ultra legacy, these boots provide exceptional all-terrain grip and waterproof protection, making them ideal for challenging trails and unpredictable weather. While they offer superior stability and comfort, users should note that the leather construction requires a standard break-in period to achieve maximum flexibility compared to synthetic alternatives.

FAQs
Are these boots waterproof?
Yes, they feature a GORE-TEX membrane that provides complete waterproof protection while remaining breathable.
Can I use these for winter hiking?
They offer excellent protection, but are designed for general hiking. For extreme snow, you may need insulated boots.
How should I clean the leather upper?
Use a soft brush and lukewarm water. Avoid harsh chemicals or soaps that can strip the leather of its natural oils.
Do they provide enough ankle support?
The mid-cut design provides significant ankle support compared to low-cut shoes, which is beneficial for technical, uneven trails.
What kind of socks should I wear with them?
Merino wool or synthetic hiking-specific socks are recommended to manage moisture and prevent friction blisters.
Does the GORE-TEX liner need special care?
Keep the interior clean of dirt and salt, as these can accumulate and damage the microscopic pores of the membrane over time.
Troubleshooting
Boots feel stiff or uncomfortable initially
Leather requires a break-in period; try wearing them for shorter distances and adjust your lacing tension for better comfort.
Water leaking into the boot
Check if water is entering through the top (ankle collar) during stream crossings, or re-apply a DWR (Durable Water Repellent) spray if the exterior leather is no longer beading water.
Loss of traction
Clean the outsole lugs thoroughly with a stiff brush to remove compacted mud, debris, or small rocks that may be interfering with the Contagrip rubber pattern.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure the longevity of your Salomon X Ultra 360 boots, follow these guidelines:
- Breaking In: Wear the boots around the house or on short, flat walks for the first 10-15 miles to allow the leather to mold to your foot shape.
- Cleaning: After a muddy hike, remove excess dirt with a soft brush and lukewarm water. Do not submerge the boots in buckets of water.
- Drying: Air dry them naturally in a well-ventilated area away from direct heat sources like radiators or fireplaces, which can crack the leather.
- Maintenance: Periodically apply a leather conditioner or water-repellent treatment specifically formulated for leather and GORE-TEX footwear to maintain water resistance.
- Storage: Store in a cool, dry place out of direct sunlight.
