Product Information
Full details
The Salomon X Ultra 360 Leather Mid Gore-Tex is designed for adult male hikers seeking a reliable blend of traditional durability and modern trail technology. It offers exceptional stability and waterproofing for diverse terrains, though the mid-height leather construction may feel slightly heavier than lightweight trail runners during warmer weather excursions. This shoe combines a robust GORE-TEX membrane with the proven All Terrain Contagrip outsole to keep you moving confidently through wet and muddy conditions.

FAQs
Are these shoes suitable for winter hiking?
Yes, the waterproof GORE-TEX membrane and aggressive tread make them suitable for light winter conditions, though they are not insulated for extreme cold.
How should I clean the leather upper?
Use a soft-bristled brush to remove dried mud and a damp cloth for surface stains. Avoid using harsh chemicals or machine washing.
Is the ankle support comparable to a full hiking boot?
The mid-height design provides more support than a low-cut shoe but maintains the agility of a hiker. It is perfect for those who want support without the bulk of a heavy boot.
Does the shoe run true to size?
Salomon generally follows standard sizing, but if you prefer wearing thick hiking socks, some users find sizing up by a half-size offers a more comfortable fit.
Can I replace the insoles?
Yes, the insoles are removable and can be replaced with custom orthotics if preferred.
Troubleshooting
Feeling discomfort during the first few wears
The leather upper requires a short break-in period. Try wearing the shoes for shorter durations at home or on light walks until the material conforms to your foot shape.
Foot feeling damp despite the GORE-TEX membrane
Check if sweat is the cause of moisture accumulation. Ensure you are wearing high-quality synthetic or wool hiking socks rather than cotton, which holds moisture against the skin.
Pros and Cons

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure the best fit, pair your shoes with moisture-wicking hiking socks. Since the leather may initially feel stiff, consider wearing them on shorter walks before attempting long-distance treks. After use, remove dirt and debris using a soft brush; avoid leaving them near direct heat sources like radiators, as this can crack the leather. If the GORE-TEX lining requires a refresh, use products specifically designed for breathable waterproof membranes. Ensure the laces are tightened properly to leverage the full support of the chassis during technical sections of the trail.
