Full details
The Salomon X Ultra 360 hiking shoes are designed for adult male hikers seeking stability and protection on varied terrains. Their key benefit is providing a secure fit and robust defense against the elements, thanks to a Gore-Tex membrane and advanced frame. A potential caveat is that while designed for all-condition grip, extreme conditions may still require caution. These shoes feature a durable Contagrip outsole, a contoured toe cap, and are constructed with leather for longevity.

FAQs
Are these shoes suitable for long-distance hiking?
Yes, the X Ultra 360 offers good support and protection, making them suitable for long-distance day hikes and shorter backpacking trips. For very extended multi-day treks with heavy loads, consider socks and potential insoles for enhanced comfort.
How do I determine the right size?
Refer to the UK sizing provided. It's recommended to measure your foot length and compare it with the brand's sizing chart. Trying them on with your preferred hiking socks is ideal.
Can I use these shoes in snow?
The Gore-Tex membrane offers water resistance, and the Contagrip outsole provides grip. While they can handle light snow, they are not specifically insulated winter boots and may not provide sufficient warmth or traction in deep snow or icy conditions.
How often should I re-waterproof the shoes?
Re-waterproof them when you notice water is no longer beading on the surface or after significant cleaning. Typically, this might be once or twice a year depending on usage frequency and environmental conditions.
What is the main difference between X Ultra 360 and X Ultra Flare?
The X Ultra 360 focuses on enhanced stability and protection with an advanced frame and Gore-Tex. The X Ultra Flare, while also a capable hiking shoe, might have slight variations in materials or design focus, often offering a balance of performance and style.
Is the leather treated for water resistance?
Yes, the leather combined with the Gore-Tex membrane provides comprehensive water protection. The leather itself is treated to complement the waterproof membrane.
Troubleshooting
Feet feel damp despite Gore-Tex
Ensure socks are not the source of moisture and that the shoes are properly dried after use. Check for any damage to the Gore-Tex membrane or seams.
Slipping on certain surfaces
Clean the outsole of mud or debris. While Contagrip offers excellent grip, extremely slick surfaces may still pose a challenge. Ensure you are using appropriate hiking techniques.
Discomfort or rubbing
Wear the shoes with appropriate hiking socks and allow for a break-in period. Ensure the laces are tied correctly, not too tight or too loose.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup: These shoes are ready for use straight out of the box. Ensure you have the correct UK size for a comfortable fit. It is recommended to wear them for short walks initially to allow them to mold to your feet.
Compatibility: Suitable for adult male hikers. They are designed for use on various terrains including trails, mountains, and forests. The Gore-Tex membrane makes them compatible with wet weather conditions.
Care:
- Cleaning: After use, remove loose dirt and mud with a soft brush. For deeper cleaning, use a damp cloth and mild soap. Avoid harsh detergents.
- Drying: Allow 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 materials and adhesives.
- Protection: For extended longevity, consider using a waterproofing spray suitable for leather and Gore-Tex materials, especially after thorough cleaning.
