FAQs
Are these shoes fully waterproof?
Yes, they feature a GORE-TEX membrane that provides complete waterproof protection while remaining breathable.
Can I use these for winter hiking?
These shoes are designed for general hiking and offer good traction, but they are not insulated for sub-zero winter temperatures.
How should I clean the leather upper?
Use a damp cloth and a soft brush for light dirt. For deeper cleaning, use a dedicated leather cleaner suitable for hiking footwear.
Do these provide arch support?
The X Ultra 360 includes a molded insole that provides standard arch support suitable for most hikers.
Are they suitable for wide feet?
Salomon generally uses a performance fit. If you have very wide feet, you may want to consider trying a half-size up or looking for a specific wide-fit version if available.
Troubleshooting
Water seems to be entering the shoe during heavy rain
Ensure your gaiters are properly covering the ankle collar and check that the laces are tightened securely to prevent water from running down your leg into the shoe.
Laces coming loose during long hikes
Use a double-knot or ensure the lace locking mechanism is fully engaged at the top eyelet to maintain consistent tension.
Foot discomfort or hot spots
Adjust your lacing pattern to relieve pressure points, or ensure you are wearing moisture-wicking hiking socks of appropriate thickness.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure your Salomon X Ultra 360 hiking shoes remain in top condition, follow these guidelines:
- Break-in: Wear the shoes on shorter walks before heading out on a multi-day hike to allow the leather to soften to your foot shape.
- Cleaning: After muddy hikes, rinse the outsoles with water. Use a soft brush to remove dried mud from the upper, but avoid using harsh detergents that could strip the GORE-TEX DWR (Durable Water Repellent) coating.
- Storage: Always store in a cool, dry place out of direct sunlight to prevent the leather from drying out or cracking.
- Drying: If the interior becomes wet, remove the insoles and stuff the shoes with newspaper. Avoid placing them directly against a heat source like a radiator, as excessive heat can damage the glue bonds and leather.
