FAQs
Are these shoes suitable for wide feet?
The X Ultra 360 series generally fits true to size, but the leather construction may feel slightly snug initially. We recommend trying them on with your preferred hiking socks.
Can I use these for winter hiking?
While the GORE-TEX offers weather protection, these are primarily designed for three-season hiking. They do not have integrated insulation for extreme cold.
How do I know if the GORE-TEX is working?
If water beads off the surface of the leather, the DWR (Durable Water Repellent) coating is active. If water soaks into the leather, it is time to re-apply a waterproofing treatment.
Is the outsole replaceable?
No, the outsole is permanently bonded to the chassis. We recommend cleaning the treads regularly to maintain grip longevity.
Are these suitable for light trail running?
These are built primarily as hiking shoes; while they offer stability, they are heavier and more rigid than dedicated trail running shoes.
Troubleshooting
Water entering the shoe despite GORE-TEX
Ensure the shoe tongue is positioned correctly and that the mud guard isn't compromised; check if the leather surface needs a water-repellent re-application.
Pressure points or discomfort during use
Adjust your lacing technique to relieve tension over the instep, or ensure you are wearing appropriate moisture-wicking hiking socks.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure your Salomon X Ultra 360 shoes perform optimally, follow these guidelines:
- Break-in: Because of the leather upper, wear the shoes on short local walks before embarking on multi-day treks to allow the material to soften and conform to your foot.
- Cleaning: After muddy hikes, remove debris using a soft-bristled brush. Wipe down the leather with a damp cloth and allow them to air dry away from direct heat sources like radiators, which can crack the leather.
- Maintenance: Periodically apply a leather-safe water-repellent treatment to maintain the outer material's integrity and waterproofing capabilities.
- Storage: Store in a cool, dry, and well-ventilated area to prevent moisture buildup inside the GORE-TEX membrane.
