FAQs
Are these shoes suitable for winter hiking?
The GORE-TEX membrane provides good weather protection, but they are not insulated. They are best suited for three-season use unless paired with thermal socks.
How do I clean the leather upper?
Use a soft brush to remove surface dust and a damp cloth for mud. Allow them to air dry slowly away from heaters or direct sun.
Do I need to treat the leather with a spray?
While the shoes have a GORE-TEX lining, treating the outer leather with a water-repellent wax can help prevent the leather from soaking through and becoming heavy.
Are these shoes true to size?
Salomon hiking shoes generally follow standard sizing, but it is recommended to have a thumb's width of space at the toe to accommodate foot swelling during long hikes.
Can I use these for trail running?
While they are very stable, the leather construction and focus on chassis support make them better suited for hiking and trekking rather than high-speed running.
Troubleshooting
Water leakage after extended use
Check for cracks in the leather or damage to the GORE-TEX liner. Apply a leather-safe waterproofing wax to restore the outer barrier.
Reduced traction on trails
Clean the outsole lugs thoroughly with a stiff-bristle brush to remove compacted dirt, mud, or pebbles that prevent the rubber from making full contact.
Discomfort during long walks
Ensure the laces are tensioned correctly across the midfoot. Consider replacing the stock insoles with aftermarket versions if you require specific arch support.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure the longevity of your X Ultra 360 shoes, begin with a proper fit test wearing the socks you intend to use for hiking. Because these are made from leather, avoid machine washing or drying, as high heat can degrade the GORE-TEX membrane and crack the leather. Clean the exterior by brushing off dried mud and wiping with a damp cloth. Store them in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight to prevent the adhesive bonds from weakening. Always allow shoes to air dry naturally if they become soaked on the trail.
