FAQs
Are these shoes suitable for wide feet?
The X Ultra 360 series generally offers a standard fit, which might be perceived as narrow by individuals with wider feet. It's recommended to try them on or consider alternative models if you typically require a wider shoe.
How do I break in my new hiking shoes?
Start by wearing them for short periods around the house or on casual walks. Gradually increase the duration and intensity of wear. This allows the shoe to mold to your foot shape and prevents blisters.
What is the advantage of the Gore-Tex membrane?
The Gore-Tex membrane provides a waterproof barrier that keeps water out while allowing perspiration vapor to escape, ensuring your feet stay dry from both external moisture and internal sweat.
How often should I clean my hiking shoes?
Clean your shoes after each significant use, especially if they were exposed to mud or water. Regular cleaning extends the life of the materials and maintains performance.
Can I use these shoes in winter conditions?
While the Contagrip outsole offers good traction in various conditions, these shoes are not specifically insulated for extreme winter conditions. For snow and ice, consider winter-specific footwear.
What terrain is the Contagrip outsole best suited for?
The Contagrip outsole is designed for versatility and performs well on a wide range of surfaces, including wet, dry, hard, and loose ground. Its lug pattern provides reliable grip.
Troubleshooting
Foot discomfort or rubbing
Ensure the lacing is adjusted correctly. If discomfort persists, the shoes may require a break-in period or are not the ideal fit for your foot shape. Consider wearing thicker hiking socks.
Reduced grip on slippery surfaces
Clean the Contagrip outsole to remove any packed mud or debris. The outsole is designed for varied conditions, but extreme surfaces may still pose a challenge.
Feet feel damp despite Gore-Tex
Check for leaks around seams or damage to the membrane. Ensure socks are also moisture-wicking; non-breathable socks can trap moisture. Prolonged submersion may exceed the membrane's capacity.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup: These shoes are ready to wear straight out of the box. Ensure you have the correct UK size for optimal fit. Lacing should be snug but not overly tight to allow for natural foot expansion during activity.
Compatibility: Designed for hiking and general outdoor use. They pair well with standard hiking socks and outdoor apparel.
Care:
- Cleaning: After use, remove excess dirt with a soft brush. Use a damp cloth to wipe down the exterior. Avoid harsh detergents or machine washing.
- Drying: Air dry the shoes naturally away from direct heat sources. Remove insoles to speed up drying if necessary.
- Protection: For leather elements, consider using a leather-specific conditioner to maintain suppleness and water resistance after cleaning.
