FAQs
Are these shoes truly waterproof?
Yes, they feature an integrated GORE-TEX membrane designed to be completely waterproof while remaining breathable.
Can I use these for winter hiking?
While the shoe provides excellent protection, it is primarily designed for three-season use. For extreme sub-zero temperatures, an insulated boot may be preferable.
How do I clean the leather upper?
Use a damp cloth and mild soap to wipe away dirt. Avoid submerging the shoes in water or using harsh chemicals.
Do these shoes run true to size?
Salomon sizing is generally consistent with standard European/UK hiking footwear sizing, though many users prefer a half-size up to accommodate thicker hiking socks.
What is the difference between the X Ultra 360 and standard trail runners?
The X Ultra 360 is built with a supportive chassis and protective upper materials, offering significantly more stability and durability than a standard trail running shoe.
Is the sole replaceable?
The outsoles are bonded during the manufacturing process and are not designed to be replaced by the user.
Troubleshooting
Water penetrating the shoe during deep puddles
Ensure the GORE-TEX membrane is free of debris inside the shoe and check that your gaiters are properly attached if in heavy rain.
Foot discomfort or hot spots during long hikes
Adjust the lacing tension throughout the midfoot and ensure you are using high-quality hiking-specific socks.
Loss of traction on trail surfaces
Clean the outsoles thoroughly with water and a stiff brush to remove compacted mud or debris stuck between the lugs.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Because these shoes feature a leather upper and a GORE-TEX lining, proper care is essential to maintain longevity. Ensure you wear moisture-wicking hiking socks to optimize the breathability of the waterproof membrane. After a muddy hike, remove the insoles and let the shoes air dry naturally away from direct heat sources, which can damage leather fibers. Use a soft brush to remove loose dirt from the outsoles to ensure the Contagrip maintains its optimal grip. Periodically applying a leather-safe waterproofing treatment will help keep the exterior material supple and resistant to water saturation.
