FAQs
Are these shoes suitable for summer hiking?
Yes, but they are waterproof, so they may feel warmer than non-waterproof mesh alternatives in very high temperatures.
Can I put these shoes in the washing machine?
No, machine washing can damage the structural integrity of the shoe, the adhesive, and the leather material. Hand cleaning is recommended.
How do I know if the fit is correct?
There should be about a thumb-width of space between your longest toe and the front of the shoe when wearing your preferred hiking socks.
Does the leather require special treatment?
Using a dedicated leather conditioner periodically will help keep the material supple and prevent cracking over time.
Are these shoes good for technical rock scrambling?
The reinforced toe cap and grippy sole make them very capable for light scrambling, though they are primarily optimized for trail hiking.
Troubleshooting
Foot discomfort or pressure points
Ensure you are using the correct sock thickness and try adjusting the lacing pattern to provide more room at the instep.
Reduced waterproofing effectiveness
Check the leather surface for signs of drying out and apply a leather-specific waterproofing treatment to restore the water-repellent coating.
Loss of traction
Thoroughly clean the outsole treads, as packed mud or debris can significantly reduce the grip of the Contagrip lugs.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure the longevity of your Salomon X ULTRA 360 hiking shoes, follow these care guidelines:
- Cleaning: After hikes, remove loose dirt and mud using a soft-bristled brush. If the leather becomes heavily soiled, wipe with a damp cloth and mild soap; avoid soaking the interior.
- Drying: Always air dry at room temperature away from direct heat sources like radiators or sunlight, as extreme heat can crack the leather or damage the adhesive.
- Storage: Store in a cool, dry place to prevent mold or odors from developing within the membrane.
- Insole Care: Remove the insoles occasionally to allow them to dry out and to shake out any accumulated grit or debris from inside the shoe.
