FAQs
What type of terrain are these shoes best suited for?
The Salomon X ULTRA 360 Hiking Shoes are designed for versatile use, performing well on asphalt, gravel, and standard trails. They offer a good balance of grip and cushioning for mixed-terrain adventures.
How do I adjust the QuickLACE system?
Simply pull the laces tight to your desired fit, then tuck the excess lace end into the small pocket located on the shoe's tongue to keep it secure and out of the way.
Are these shoes waterproof?
While the leather material offers some water resistance, these shoes are not fully waterproof. For protection in very wet conditions, consider using a waterproofing treatment or looking for GORE-TEX versions if available.
Can I use these for running?
Yes, their lightweight design and reactive bounce make them suitable for trail running and mixed-terrain running where a secure grip and cushioning are beneficial.
What is the main benefit of the Energy Foam midsole?
The Energy Foam midsole provides enhanced cushioning to absorb shock and offers a dynamic, reactive bounce, contributing to both comfort and energy return during your activities.
How should I clean the leather upper?
Gently clean the leather with a damp cloth or a soft brush to remove dirt and mud. Avoid harsh chemicals. Allow to air dry naturally.
What is the difference between this model and other X ULTRA versions?
The X ULTRA 360 focuses on providing dynamics and cushioning with an Energy Foam midsole and an optimized outsole for adaptable grip across various surfaces, combined with a lightweight design.
Troubleshooting
Laces won't stay tight
Ensure the QuickLACE tab is fully engaged and the lace end is securely tucked into the tongue pocket. If the lace itself is worn, it may need replacing.
Discomfort or rubbing
Verify you have the correct size and width. Ensure the QuickLACE system is adjusted for a snug but not overly tight fit. Try wearing with different hiking socks.
Reduced grip on wet surfaces
The outsole is designed for versatility. For exceptionally slick conditions, exercise caution. Ensure the outsole is free from mud or debris which can impede grip.
Shoes feel stiff
New shoes may require a break-in period. Wear them for shorter walks initially to allow the materials to soften and conform to your feet.

Setup, Compatibility & Care Instructions
Setup: The Salomon X ULTRA 360 Hiking Shoes come ready to wear. The QuickLACE system features a small pocket on the tongue to tuck away the lace end, preventing it from snagging.
Compatibility: These shoes are designed for general hiking and trail walking. They are compatible with most standard hiking socks. For optimal performance, ensure you have chosen the correct UK size, as indicated on the product or packaging.
Care: To maintain the longevity and performance of your hiking shoes:
- Cleaning: After use, remove loose dirt and mud with a soft brush or a damp cloth. Avoid using harsh detergents or abrasive cleaners, as these can damage the leather and synthetic materials.
- Drying: Allow the shoes to air dry naturally at room temperature. Do not place them near direct heat sources like radiators or in direct sunlight, as this can cause the materials to crack or warp.
- Waterproofing: Periodically, especially after thorough cleaning or prolonged exposure to wet conditions, consider applying a waterproofing spray suitable for leather and synthetic footwear to maintain their water resistance.
- Storage: Store the shoes in a cool, dry place, away from direct sunlight, when not in use.
