FAQs
Are these shoes suitable for winter hiking?
While the GORE-TEX provides waterproof protection, these are standard hiking shoes and are not insulated for sub-zero temperatures.
Can I wash these in a washing machine?
No. Machine washing can damage the structural integrity and the waterproof membrane of the shoe. Stick to hand cleaning.
How should the shoe fit?
It should feel snug around the midfoot and heel, with enough room in the toe box for your toes to wiggle, especially during long hikes where feet may swell.
Does the leather require specific treatment?
Using a dedicated leather conditioner periodically can help prevent the material from cracking and maintain its durability.
Are these good for wide feet?
The X Ultra 360 is designed with a standard athletic fit; if you have wide feet, you may want to test them with your preferred hiking socks first.
Troubleshooting
Water entering the shoe despite GORE-TEX
Ensure the shoe is laced correctly and check the gaiter or cuff area for gaps; waterproof membranes work best when the outer material is clean and the factory-applied DWR (Durable Water Repellent) is maintained.
Discomfort during initial use
Leather shoes often feel stiff initially. Wear them with high-quality hiking socks and gradually increase hike distance to allow the material to soften.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure the longevity of your Salomon X Ultra 360 hiking shoes, follow these steps:
- Break-in: Wear your shoes on short walks before heading out on long, challenging treks to allow the leather to mold to your foot.
- Cleaning: Remove excess dirt after each hike using a soft brush. If mud is caked on, use a damp cloth. Avoid submerging the shoes in water or using harsh detergents.
- Drying: Air dry naturally away from direct heat sources like radiators or sunlight, as extreme heat can degrade the leather and the adhesive bonding the sole.
- Storage: Keep in a cool, dry place and ensure they are fully dry before storage to prevent mold or odors.
