Full details
The Salomon X Ultra 360 Hiking Shoes are designed for adult male hikers who require a balance of rugged durability and agile support on diverse trails. These shoes excel at providing superior traction and lateral stability, making them a reliable choice for technical terrain. However, users should note that the leather construction and reinforced features result in a slightly firmer break-in period compared to lighter, non-leather mesh alternatives.

Extended Product Information
FAQs
Are these shoes waterproof?
Yes, they feature a GORE-TEX membrane that provides complete waterproof protection while remaining breathable.
Do I need to size up for hiking socks?
It is generally recommended to account for the thickness of your hiking socks. If you are between sizes, many hikers prefer going up a half size.
How often should I clean the Contagrip outsole?
Clean the outsole after every hike to prevent packed mud from reducing the grip effectiveness on your next outing.
Are these suitable for winter hiking?
They perform well in cool, wet conditions, but they are not insulated, so they may not be warm enough for deep snow or sub-zero temperatures without appropriate socks.
Can I replace the insoles?
Yes, the provided insoles are removable and can be replaced with custom orthotics or aftermarket insoles if needed.
Troubleshooting
Feeling pressure points during initial wear
The leather upper requires a break-in period. Wear the shoes for short, flat walks to gradually soften the material before taking them on long, steep hikes.
Water entering the shoe despite GORE-TEX
Ensure your gaiters are properly placed or that the tongue is positioned correctly. Check for any punctures in the membrane caused by debris and ensure the upper is cleaned regularly to maintain breathability.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure your Salomon X Ultra 360 hiking shoes last for many seasons, proper maintenance is essential. Because they feature a leather upper, avoid machine washing or direct heat drying, which can cause the material to crack or lose its shape.
- Cleaning: Use a soft brush to remove dried mud and dirt after every hike.
- Drying: Air dry naturally in a cool, shaded area away from heaters or direct sunlight.
- Waterproofing Maintenance: If you notice water no longer beads on the surface, consider applying a leather-safe DWR (Durable Water Repellent) spray.
- Storage: Store in a dry, ventilated area with the laces loosened to allow the interior to vent moisture.
