FAQs
Are these shoes truly waterproof?
Yes, they feature a GORE-TEX membrane, which is designed to keep water out while allowing sweat to escape.
Can I use these for winter hiking?
While they provide excellent traction, they are not insulated. They are best suited for 3-season use unless paired with thick thermal socks.
How should I clean the leather upper?
Use a damp cloth and a soft brush for dirt. For deep cleaning, use a specialized leather cleaner approved for hiking footwear.
Do these shoes come with a specific width?
Salomon generally uses a standard athletic fit. If you have wide feet, consider trying them on with your preferred hiking socks to ensure proper room.
What is the purpose of the Advanced Chassis?
It acts as a supportive frame between the midsole and outsole to provide stability and protection on uneven, technical terrain.
Troubleshooting
Water entering the shoe
Ensure your laces are properly tightened and your gaiters (if used) are secured. Check the leather surface for visible tears or deep scuffs.
Feeling pressure points during long hikes
Adjust the lacing system to distribute pressure more evenly across the midfoot, or consider using higher-quality insoles if arch support is insufficient.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure the longevity of your Salomon X Ultra 360 hiking shoes, follow these care steps:
- Break-in: Wear the shoes around the house or on short walks before committing to a long-distance hike to allow the leather to conform to your foot.
- Cleaning: After muddy hikes, remove loose dirt with a soft brush. Use a damp cloth for deeper cleaning. Avoid using harsh soaps that could compromise the waterproof membrane.
- Drying: Air dry the shoes naturally. Never place them near direct heat sources like radiators or campfires, as this can crack the leather and damage the GORE-TEX liner.
- Storage: Keep in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight to prevent material degradation.
