FAQs
Are these shoes waterproof?
The Salomon X ULTRA 360 uses a robust construction to shield from elements, but you should check if your specific model version features a waterproof membrane for total water resistance.
How do I determine my correct size?
Salomon sizes generally align with standard UK hiking shoe sizing. It is recommended to have at least a thumb-width of space in the toe box to account for foot swelling during long hikes.
Can I use these for trail running?
While durable, these are built for stability and hiking. They are generally heavier than dedicated trail running shoes, though they work well for fast-hiking.
What is the primary material used?
These shoes feature a high-quality leather upper, chosen for its durability and protection on rough trails.
How should I clean the leather upper?
Wipe with a damp cloth and mild soap if necessary. Avoid machine washing or using high-pressure water, as this can degrade the leather and the adhesives.
Troubleshooting
Feeling discomfort or pressure points on the foot
Try adjusting the lacing pattern to provide more room in the instep, or ensure you are wearing moisture-wicking hiking socks of the appropriate thickness.
Mud building up on the outsole
Use a stiff brush or a stick to clear the lug pattern after your hike; the Contagrip system works best when the channels are kept clear of packed mud.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure the longevity of your Salomon X ULTRA 360 hiking shoes, follow these care guidelines:
- Break-in Period: Wear the shoes for shorter walks on flat terrain before committing to a full-day mountain hike to allow the leather to mold to your feet.
- Cleaning: After muddy hikes, remove debris with a soft brush. Use a damp cloth to wipe the leather; avoid submerging them in water or using harsh detergents.
- Drying: Always air dry your shoes at room temperature. Never place them near direct heat sources like radiators or campfires, as this can cause the leather to crack or the glue to lose adhesion.
- Storage: Keep the shoes in a cool, dry place out of direct sunlight when not in use.
