FAQs
Are these shoes fully waterproof?
Yes, they feature a GORE-TEX membrane that provides complete waterproof protection while maintaining breathability.
Are these suitable for wide feet?
The X Ultra 360 series generally has a standard fit, but the leather material will stretch and conform to your foot shape over time.
Can I use these for winter hiking?
While the shoes offer great protection, they are primarily designed for three-season hiking; always wear thermal socks if the temperature drops.
How often should I clean the shoes?
It is best practice to brush off dirt after every hike to keep the breathable membrane functioning correctly.
What makes the Advanced Chassis special?
The Advanced Chassis is a molded insert embedded in the outsole that provides extra stability and prevents the foot from rolling on uneven terrain.
Troubleshooting
Foot feels tight or pressured during first few hikes
Leather material needs time to mold to your foot shape; try wearing them for shorter distances on flat terrain initially to break them in.
Waterproofing appears less effective over time
Dirt buildup can clog the breathable pores of the membrane; clean the shoe thoroughly and consider a specialized re-waterproofing treatment for the exterior leather.
Loss of traction on trails
Check the outsole for compacted mud or debris caught in the lugs. Use a brush to clear the tread patterns for maximum grip.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Before heading out, ensure you wear the shoes with appropriate hiking socks to test the fit, especially during the initial break-in period.
To clean your shoes:
- Remove heavy mud or dirt using a soft brush after every hike.
- Wipe the leather upper with a damp cloth; avoid using harsh detergents that might strip the leather's natural properties.
- Allow the shoes to air dry naturally away from direct heat sources like radiators, which can crack the leather or damage the GORE-TEX membrane.
- Store in a cool, dry place out of direct sunlight.
