FAQs
Are these shoes suitable for wide feet?
The X ULTRA 360 series generally offers a standard fit. While it aims for a solid, supportive feel, individuals with very wide feet may find them restrictive. Trying them on is recommended to assess the fit for your specific foot shape.
How do I maintain the grip of the Contagrip sole?
Regularly clean the sole by brushing away mud, dirt, and debris. Inspect for any embedded objects. The compound is designed for durability, but keeping it clean ensures optimal traction.
Can I use these shoes in snow?
The GORE-TEX membrane provides waterproofing, and the Contagrip sole offers good traction on various surfaces. However, these shoes are primarily designed for hiking in varied terrain and weather, not for deep snow conditions where specialized winter boots are recommended.
What is the expected lifespan of these hiking shoes?
With proper care and regular use on varied terrain, these shoes are built for durability. Lifespan depends on usage intensity, terrain, and maintenance, but users can expect significant mileage from well-cared-for hiking shoes.
How does the Advanced Chassis contribute to stability?
The Advanced Chassis is a lightweight layer between the outsole and midsole that provides enhanced stability and protection, allowing for a more responsive and secure ride on technical terrain.
Is the leather material treated for water resistance?
The primary waterproofing is provided by the GORE-TEX membrane. The leather upper contributes to the shoe's durability and protection, and while it has some natural water resistance, it's best to rely on the GORE-TEX membrane for full waterproof performance.
Troubleshooting
Feet feel wet despite GORE-TEX
Ensure the shoe's upper is clean, as dirt can impede breathability. Check for any visible damage to the GORE-TEX membrane or seams. Ensure laces are tied snugly but not excessively tight, as this can affect water resistance.
Slipping on certain surfaces
The Contagrip outsole is designed for versatile grip, but extreme conditions may test its limits. Ensure the sole is free from mud or debris that could reduce traction. Consider the specific terrain and weather conditions for optimal performance.
Discomfort or blisters during first use
New hiking shoes often require a break-in period. Wear them for shorter walks around your home or local park before embarking on longer hikes. Ensure you are wearing appropriate hiking socks, as sock material and thickness can significantly impact comfort.
Shoes feel too tight or loose
Adjust the lacing system to achieve a secure, snug fit without pressure points. Ensure the correct shoe size was selected initially, as the Advanced Chassis and fit are designed to be supportive. If the issue persists, consider exchanging for a different size.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup: These shoes are ready for use straight out of the box. Ensure you have the correct UK size for optimal fit and performance. We recommend wearing them for shorter walks initially to allow them to break in to your foot's unique shape.
Compatibility: The Salomon X ULTRA 360 is designed for hiking and trail walking. It is compatible with standard hiking socks. The shoe's design makes it suitable for use with trekking poles and various types of outdoor apparel.
Care:
- Cleaning: After use, remove loose dirt with a soft brush. For stubborn dirt or mud, wipe the shoes with a damp cloth. Avoid using harsh detergents or abrasive cleaners.
- Drying: Allow the shoes to air dry naturally at room temperature. Do not place them near direct heat sources like radiators or fires, as this can damage the materials and adhesives. Remove insoles during drying to speed up the process and prevent odor.
- Waterproofing Maintenance: Periodically, especially after heavy use or cleaning, consider using a specialized waterproofing spray or treatment suitable for GORE-TEX footwear to maintain the membrane's effectiveness.
