FAQs
What is the main advantage of the Energy Foam midsole?
The Energy Foam midsole provides a combination of dynamic cushioning and reactive bounce, enhancing comfort and reducing fatigue on varied terrains.
How does the QuickLACE system work?
The QuickLACE system allows for fast, one-pull tightening and loosening of the laces, enabling easy and secure adjustments on the go.
Are these shoes suitable for heavy backpacking trips?
While comfortable and durable for day hikes and light trekking, they are not specifically designed for the heavy load and ankle support required for extensive backpacking trips with large packs. A high-cut boot might be more appropriate for such activities.
How do I clean my Salomon X ULTRA 360 hiking shoes?
Clean with a soft brush and damp cloth with mild soap. Allow them to air dry completely away from direct heat.
What type of terrain are these shoes best suited for?
They are designed for versatility, performing well on asphalt, gravel, dirt trails, and moderately rocky paths. They offer adaptable grip for transitioning between surfaces.
Can I replace the insoles?
Yes, the shoes are designed to accommodate aftermarket insoles if you require additional support or a different feel.
What does '360' in the name refer to?
While not explicitly defined in the product description, '360' often implies a comprehensive approach to design, encompassing all-around performance, comfort, and versatility for a wide range of outdoor activities.
Troubleshooting
Laces won't stay tight
Ensure the QuickLACE lock is fully engaged. If the lace itself is worn or frayed, it may need replacement.
Soles feel slippery on wet surfaces
The optimized outsole is designed for versatility. For exceptionally slippery conditions, consider alternative footwear or walking with extra caution. Clean the outsole to remove any packed debris that could reduce grip.
Discomfort or pressure points
Adjust the QuickLACE system for a more precise fit. If discomfort persists, try wearing them with different socks or consider using an insole for added cushioning or arch support.
Shoes feel too narrow/wide
The X ULTRA 360 series is designed with a specific fit. Ensure you have selected the correct size. If the width is still an issue, this particular model may not be the best fit for your foot shape.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup: These shoes are ready to wear out of the box. Ensure the QuickLACE system is adjusted for a snug but comfortable fit by pulling the lace lock and tightening the laces, then tucking the excess lace into the holder on the tongue. For a more personalized fit, consider using aftermarket insoles if desired, though the integrated cushioning is designed to be highly effective.
Compatibility: The Salomon X ULTRA 360 Hiking Shoes are designed for adult male footwear. While they are suitable for a wide range of activities including hiking, trail running, and general outdoor use, their primary design is for varied terrain. They are not specialized for extreme mountaineering or activities requiring rigid sole support.
Care:
- Cleaning: Remove loose dirt with a soft brush. For tougher dirt, use a damp cloth and mild soap. Avoid harsh detergents or abrasive cleaners.
- Drying: Air dry the shoes away from direct heat sources like radiators or sunlight, as extreme heat can damage the materials. Stuffing them with newspaper can help absorb moisture and maintain shape during drying.
- Protection: Consider using a water-repellent spray suitable for leather and synthetic materials to enhance their resistance to moisture and stains, especially after thorough cleaning.
