The Salomon X Ultra 360 origins and what they offer
Salomon began in 1947 in Annecy in the French Alps building ski parts, and then moved into footwear and outdoor kit. Today, it sells shoes, clothing, and accessories to hikers and trail runners worldwide.
The X Ultra 360 is a hiking shoe aimed at single-day routes and comes with moderate cushioning, a 10 mm drop, and a stable support. Some trims include a GORE-TEX membrane for waterproof protection.
The Salomon X Ultra 360 comes with excellent traction, a stable base, and a protective upper layer that handles rough paths easily. It’s sold through major retailers and often appears in seasonal discounts during a men's clothing sale.
Picking the right X Ultra 360 by Salomon
The X Ultra 360 by Salomon comes in low and mid-cuts, as well as leather and GORE-TEX trims. The models use Quicklace lacing, Contagrip outsoles, and a chassis for support. The mid-cut range is ideal for added ankle protection on rough terrain.
For approach hikes and short commutes, wear the X Ultra 360 with technical shorts or tough leggings. For travel and casual days, try a neat pair of tracksuit bottoms and a breathable top to keep dirt off.
Where to use the X Ultra 360
The Salomon X Ultra 360 works best on single-day routes, mixed trails, and technical paths, and the Contagrip outsole offers traction on wet rock and loose dirt while the chassis protects the foot on steep descents.
The X Ultra 360 by Salomon includes GORE-TEX options for wet weather and leather trims for extra abrasion resistance. Pick the GORE-TEX model for river crossings and muddy sections, and the leather version for a longer-lasting upper on rough ground. There is a choice of wedge trainers if you need a little extra arch support.
Remove excess mud with a soft brush and wipe the upper with a damp cloth to clean it. Air dry away from the sun and store in a box or in a cupboard.
