FAQs
Are these shoes truly waterproof?
Yes, they feature a GORE-TEX membrane that provides a reliable waterproof barrier while allowing moisture vapor to escape.
Can I use these for winter hiking?
They are suitable for mild winter conditions, though they are not insulated; pair them with warm wool socks for colder temperatures.
Do I need to treat the leather?
While the GORE-TEX membrane provides waterproofing, applying a leather-specific conditioning wax can help maintain the leather's suppleness and water resistance.
How should the shoe fit?
You should have a small amount of space at the toes and a snug fit at the heel to prevent blisters during steep descents.
Are these suitable for wide feet?
The fit is generally standard; if you have very wide feet, you may want to try them on with your preferred hiking socks to ensure adequate volume.
Troubleshooting
Water leaking into the shoe
Verify that the GORE-TEX lining is not punctured by thorns or sharp objects, and ensure the debris isn't entering from the top of the ankle.
Loss of traction on wet surfaces
Clean the outsole thoroughly, as mud or dried silt packed into the lugs can significantly reduce the grip of the Contagrip compound.
Discomfort during long hikes
Check your lacing tension and consider using a high-quality aftermarket insole if you require additional arch support.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure the longest lifespan for your X Ultra 360 hiking shoes, follow these guidelines:
- Breaking In: Wear your shoes on shorter walks before heading out on long-distance hikes to allow the leather to mold to your foot shape.
- Cleaning: After muddy hikes, remove excess dirt with a soft brush and lukewarm water. Do not submerge them in hot water or use harsh detergents.
- Drying: Air dry the shoes at room temperature away from direct heat sources like radiators, as extreme heat can cause the leather to crack and compromise the GORE-TEX membrane.
- Storage: Store in a cool, dry place out of direct sunlight to prevent material degradation.
