FAQs
Are the Salomon X Ultra 360 shoes waterproof?
Yes, they feature a GORE-TEX membrane that provides reliable, breathable waterproofing for diverse weather conditions.
Can I use these for technical climbing?
These are designed for hiking and trail trekking. They are not intended for technical rock climbing.
Do I need to size up for hiking socks?
Salomon sizing is generally true to size. If you plan on wearing very thick wool socks, you might consider a half-size larger, but the standard size usually accommodates typical hiking socks well.
How do I clean the leather upper?
Use a soft brush to remove dirt. If the shoes are very dirty, wipe them with a damp cloth and mild soap, then let them air dry away from heat sources.
What is the benefit of the Advanced Chassis?
It provides lateral stability, which helps keep your foot secure and balanced when navigating uneven or rocky ground.
Are these shoes suitable for summer hiking?
Yes, the GORE-TEX membrane is breathable, making them suitable for many conditions, though they are specifically built for durability and protection in varied terrain.
Troubleshooting
Water entering the shoe during heavy rain
Ensure the shoe is laced tightly and check if the DWR coating needs reapplying; also inspect for any debris inside the shoe that might be compromising the fit.
Feeling pressure points during first use
The leather upper requires a brief break-in period. Try wearing the shoes on short walks around your home before heading out on long, strenuous hikes.
Loss of traction
Check the outsole for compacted mud or debris lodged in the lugs, as this will reduce the effectiveness of the Contagrip rubber.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Before hitting the trails, ensure you have the correct size for your hiking socks to avoid hotspots. To maintain the life of your shoes:
- Cleaning: After muddy hikes, remove loose dirt with a soft brush and rinse with lukewarm water. Avoid using harsh soaps.
- Drying: Air dry naturally in a cool, shaded area. Never place your shoes near a radiator or direct heat source, as this can cause the leather to crack and damage the waterproof membrane.
- Storage: Store in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight.
- Maintenance: If the water-repellency fades over time, apply a specialized DWR (Durable Water Repellent) spray designed for GORE-TEX footwear.
