FAQs
Are these shoes truly waterproof?
Yes, they feature a GORE-TEX membrane that is designed to be completely waterproof while remaining breathable.
Can I use these for winter hiking?
While they provide excellent traction and water protection, they are designed as all-terrain hiking shoes and are not insulated for sub-zero temperatures.
How should I clean the leather upper?
Use a soft brush to remove surface dirt and a slightly damp cloth to wipe down the leather. Avoid aggressive detergents.
Do I need to break these in?
Because the upper contains leather and a robust chassis, it is recommended to wear them on short walks before attempting long-distance hikes.
Are these suitable for wide feet?
Salomon generally offers a performance fit; if you have very wide feet, you may want to ensure the lacing is adjusted appropriately or try a half-size up.
Troubleshooting
Water leaking into the shoe
Ensure the GORE-TEX membrane is not punctured and check that the leather upper is conditioned to maintain its hydrophobic properties.
Accumulation of debris inside
Ensure the laces are tensioned correctly and consider wearing gaiters for particularly loose, dusty trails.
Outsole losing grip over time
Clean the outsole with a stiff brush to remove embedded stones and hardened mud that can mask the tread pattern.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure the longevity of your X Ultra 360 hiking shoes, proper maintenance is essential.
- Cleaning: After hikes, wipe away mud with a damp cloth or soft brush. Do not machine wash, as this can degrade the leather and the GORE-TEX membrane.
- Drying: Air dry the shoes at room temperature away from direct heat sources like radiators, which can cause the leather to crack.
- Storage: Store in a cool, dry place to prevent mold growth inside the lining.
- Leather Care: Periodically apply a leather conditioner to keep the material supple and maintain its water-repellent properties.
