FAQs
Are these shoes suitable for winter hiking?
While the GORE-TEX provides waterproofing, these shoes are primarily designed for three-season use (spring, summer, fall) and day trips. For deep snow or extreme cold, winter-specific insulated boots would be more appropriate.
How long does the GORE-TEX waterproofing typically last?
The GORE-TEX membrane itself is highly durable. Its effectiveness can be maintained with proper cleaning and care. The outer fabric may absorb water over time if not cared for, making the shoe feel wet, but the membrane should continue to keep your feet dry if undamaged.
Can I machine wash these hiking shoes?
No, machine washing is not recommended as it can damage the materials, adhesives, and waterproof membranes of the shoes.
What is the main difference between the leather and non-leather versions of the X ULTRA 360?
The leather version offers enhanced durability and a classic aesthetic, often requiring a break-in period. Non-leather versions might be lighter and more breathable initially but may offer less long-term abrasion resistance.
What is the warranty on these shoes?
Specific warranty information is best obtained directly from the seller or Salomon's official website, as it can vary by region and retailer.
How do I choose the right size?
Refer to the UK sizing provided. It's recommended to try them on with the type of socks you typically wear for hiking to ensure a snug but comfortable fit, with enough room in the toe box.
Troubleshooting
Shoes feel tight or uncomfortable during initial wear.
This is often normal as the leather breaks in. Wear them for short periods initially and gradually increase duration. Ensure the lacing is adjusted correctly for your foot.
Water seeping through despite GORE-TEX.
Check for any damage to the membrane or excessive wear. Ensure the tongue gussets are properly sealed. Clean the shoes thoroughly as dirt can impede waterproofing. Consider re-waterproofing treatment if wear is evident.
Traction feels poor on certain surfaces.
Ensure the outsoles are clean and free from mud or debris. The specific tread pattern is designed for a balance of grip and durability; very smooth surfaces might offer less purchase.
Leather appears dry or cracked.
Apply a quality leather conditioner specifically designed for outdoor footwear. This will restore moisture and flexibility to the leather.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup: These shoes are ready for immediate use upon purchase. Ensure you have the correct UK size for a comfortable fit. It is recommended to wear them for shorter walks initially to allow them to break in and conform to your foot shape.
Compatibility: These hiking shoes are designed for walking and trekking on varied outdoor terrain. They are compatible with most types of hiking socks.
Care:
- Cleaning: After use, remove excess dirt with a brush. For a deeper clean, use a damp cloth and mild soap. Avoid harsh detergents.
- 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 leather and affect the GORE-TEX membrane.
- Waterproofing Maintenance: Periodically, especially after heavy use, you may want to treat the leather with a suitable leather conditioner to maintain its suppleness and water resistance. Ensure the conditioner is compatible with GORE-TEX membranes.
