FAQs
Are these shoes truly waterproof?
Yes, they feature a GORE-TEX membrane, which is designed to be fully waterproof while allowing moisture vapor from your feet to escape.
Are these suitable for winter hiking?
They provide excellent traction and protection, but they are not insulated, so they are best suited for three-season hiking.
How do I know if the fit is right?
You should have a small amount of wiggle room for your toes; if your toes touch the front, consider a half-size larger.
Can I replace the insoles?
Yes, the insoles are removable and can be replaced with custom orthotics or aftermarket insoles if needed.
How often should I clean the leather?
Clean them whenever they become heavily soiled to prevent dirt from grinding into the material and compromising its integrity.
Troubleshooting
Water leaking into the shoe
Ensure your socks are not wicking water into the shoe from the top and check for any physical tears in the outer material.
Feeling of stiffness or discomfort
The shoe may require more break-in time; try wearing them for shorter durations and adjust your lacing tension.
Reduced grip on trails
Clean the Contagrip outsole thoroughly to remove packed mud or debris that may be obstructing the lug pattern.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To maximize the lifespan of your Salomon X Ultra 360 shoes, it is important to handle them with care. Start by wearing them on shorter walks before heading out on long multi-day treks to allow the leather and chassis to mold to your foot shape. After muddy or dusty hikes, remove excess dirt using a soft brush and lukewarm water. Avoid using harsh soaps or detergents that can degrade the waterproofing. Ensure they air-dry naturally away from direct heat sources, such as radiators, which can cause the leather to crack or the adhesives to weaken over time. Always ensure your socks are compatible with waterproof footwear, favoring moisture-wicking synthetic or wool blends to keep feet comfortable.
