FAQs
Are these shoes truly waterproof?
Yes, they feature a GORE-TEX membrane which is designed to be fully waterproof while maintaining breathability.
Can these be used for multi-day backpacking?
Yes, the Advanced Chassis provides the stability and support needed for carrying heavier packs over multiple days.
How do I maintain the leather upper?
Keep the leather clean of mud and debris. If the leather begins to dry out, use a leather-specific conditioning treatment to maintain suppleness.
Are these suitable for wide feet?
The X Ultra 360 series generally fits true to size, but the structured nature of the chassis provides a secure, performance-oriented fit.
Do I need to treat them with a waterproof spray?
The GORE-TEX membrane provides the primary waterproof protection, but reapplying a DWR (Durable Water Repellent) spray can help the outer fabric shed water more effectively.
Troubleshooting
Feeling discomfort after the first wear
The Advanced Chassis can be stiff initially. Wear the shoes for shorter walks to break them in before attempting long-distance hikes.
Moisture buildup inside the shoe
Ensure you are using technical, moisture-wicking socks. Cotton socks retain sweat and prevent the GORE-TEX membrane from breathing effectively.
Accumulation of dirt in the tread
Use a stiff-bristled brush to clear debris from the Contagrip outsole to maintain consistent traction.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure the longevity of your X Ultra 360s, it is recommended to wear moisture-wicking hiking socks to complement the breathable GORE-TEX membrane. For cleaning, remove loose dirt with a soft brush after every hike. If the shoes become muddy, wipe them down with a damp cloth and mild soap; avoid submerging them in water or using harsh detergents. Always air dry your shoes at room temperature away from direct heat sources like radiators, as excessive heat can damage the leather and adhesive components.
