FAQs
What type of terrain are these shoes best suited for?
The Salomon X ULTRA 360 Hiking Shoes are designed for versatile use, excelling on a mix of surfaces including asphalt, gravel, and moderate trails. They offer a balance of cushioning and grip for everyday hiking and outdoor activities.
How do I adjust the fit of the QuickLACE system?
Simply pull the laces evenly with both hands to tighten. The knot locks in place. Tuck the excess lace into the pocket on the tongue to keep it tidy and prevent snagging.
Are these shoes waterproof?
The shoes are designed with water resistance in mind, but they are not fully waterproof. They can handle light moisture and splashes, but prolonged immersion in water may lead to ingress.
What is the primary benefit of the Energy Foam midsole?
The Energy Foam midsole provides significant cushioning to absorb impact and offers a reactive bounce, returning energy with each step. This enhances comfort and performance, especially on longer distances or harder surfaces.
How should I clean my X ULTRA 360 shoes?
Clean with a damp cloth and mild soap. Allow them to air dry naturally away from direct heat. Avoid machine washing.
Can I use these shoes for trail running?
Yes, their lightweight design and reactive cushioning make them suitable for trail running on moderate terrain. However, for very technical or fast-paced trail running, specialized trail running shoes might offer more targeted performance.
What sizes are available?
These shoes are available in various UK adult sizes. Please refer to the product listing for the specific size range available for this model and color.
Troubleshooting
Laces not staying secure
Ensure the QuickLACE knot is tied tightly and the excess lace is properly secured in the lace pocket. If the lace itself is worn, consider replacing it.
Discomfort or rubbing
Check the lacing for tightness – it should be snug but not overly restrictive. Ensure you are wearing appropriate hiking socks. If the issue persists, break in the shoes gradually on shorter walks.
Reduced grip on wet surfaces
While the outsole is designed for adaptability, extremely slick surfaces may reduce grip. Clean the outsole regularly to remove embedded debris that could affect traction. Consider alternative footwear for highly specialized wet conditions.
Water ingress
These shoes offer a degree of water resistance but are not fully waterproof. For prolonged exposure to wet conditions, consider waterproof hiking boots or gaiters.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
