FAQs
Are these shoes suitable for very rocky terrain?
The X ULTRA 360 series offers a good balance of cushioning and grip for varied trails. For extremely rocky or technical terrain, specialized shoes with enhanced rock protection and stiffer soles might offer superior performance.
How do I clean the leather upper?
Use a damp cloth to wipe away dirt. For tougher stains, a mild soap solution can be used sparingly, followed by a clean damp cloth. Always allow to air dry naturally.
Can I replace the QuickLACE system if it breaks?
Yes, replacement QuickLACE kits are typically available from Salomon or outdoor retailers. They include the cord, toggle, and eyelets for a full replacement.
What is the expected lifespan of these hiking shoes?
With proper care and depending on usage intensity, hiking shoes generally last between 500 to 800 miles of hiking. Regular cleaning and maintenance will extend their life.
Are these shoes waterproof?
The description provided does not specify a waterproof membrane (like GORE-TEX). They offer water resistance for light moisture but may not be fully waterproof for submersion or heavy rain.
What size should I order if I'm between UK sizes?
It is generally recommended to size up to the next full size if you are between sizes, especially for hiking footwear, to allow for thicker socks and foot swelling during activity.
Troubleshooting
QuickLACE system won't tighten or loosen properly
Ensure the toggle is fully engaged or disengaged. Check the lace path for any obstructions or knots. If the lace is frayed, it may need replacement.
Foot fatigue despite cushioning
Verify the shoe size and fit. Ensure the QuickLACE system is adjusted correctly for adequate support. Consider using aftermarket insoles if more arch support is needed.
Reduced grip on slippery surfaces
Clean the outsole to remove mud or debris that may be hindering traction. For very wet or slick conditions, proceed with caution as specialized grip patterns may be required.
Discomfort after extended wear
Ensure you are wearing appropriate hiking socks. Break in the shoes gradually with shorter walks before attempting long hikes. Adjust the lacing system for better pressure distribution.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup:
These shoes are designed for immediate use. The primary setup involves adjusting the QuickLACE system to your preferred tightness.
- Loosen the laces using the toggle.
- Slide your foot into the shoe.
- Pull the QuickLACE toggle upwards to tighten the laces securely.
- Tuck the excess lace end into the lace pocket on the tongue to keep it tidy and prevent snagging.
Compatibility:
The Salomon X ULTRA hiking shoes are designed for compatibility with standard hiking socks. They are suitable for wear with most types of outdoor trousers and shorts. For specific activities, consider pairing them with moisture-wicking socks for optimal comfort.
Care:
- Cleaning: After use, remove loose dirt and mud with a soft brush or a damp cloth. Avoid using harsh detergents or abrasive cleaners.
- Drying: Allow shoes to air dry naturally at room temperature. Do not expose them to direct heat sources like radiators or hairdryers, as this can damage the materials.
- Waterproofing: If the water-repellent treatment diminishes over time, consider using a waterproofing spray specifically designed for hiking footwear to maintain their performance.
- Storage: Store in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight when not in use.
