Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure the longevity of your X Ultra 360 shoes, it is important to properly maintain the leather and technical materials:
- Break-in: Wear the shoes on short, flat walks before attempting long-distance or high-elevation hikes to allow the leather to contour to your feet.
- Cleaning: After muddy hikes, remove loose dirt with a soft brush. Use a damp cloth to clean the exterior; avoid submerging them in a washing machine, as this can degrade the waterproof membrane.
- Drying: Air dry the shoes at room temperature. Never place them directly against heat sources like radiators or campfires, as excessive heat can cause the leather to crack and damage the adhesive bonds.
- Storage: Store in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight to prevent material degradation.
