Salomon X Ultra 360 Edge GORE-TEX Walking Shoes

A hiking shoe with modern ambitions, designed for the new outdoors - with modern lines, splashes of colour and recycled materials in the textile upper. Drawing on a legacy of iconic X Ultra shoes, the X Ultra 360 Edge GORE-TEX continues to deliver all-terrain grip, stability and waterproof protection on any adventure.

Textile Upper

Constructed from a textile upper, the Salomon X Ultra 360 Edge keeps water at bay so you can walk with confidence no matter the weather. The durable upper offers a wide range of protection to help you gain the maximum from your footwear. To avoid damp feet, a GORE-TEX membrane resides inside the shoe and supplies a combination of durable waterproofing and optimised breathability. Sometimes it's hard to stay dry without developing that distracting clammy feeling, but GORE-TEX keeps water on the outside while letting perspiration escape from the inside, keeping sweat to a minimum and you, cool and comfy. A textile lining encases each foot in breathable comfort. Perforations in the fabric increase airflow to create a better, healthier environment for your feet to thrive in. A Sensifit system cradles the foot providing a precise and secure fit whilst the gusseted tongue sits comfortably against the skin and prevents debris from entering inside the shoe. Protection is key while out on the trails, so don't worry when wearing the X Ultra 360 as it features a protective heel cap for rearfoot stability and a protective rubber toe cap to enhance protection from loose or sharp rocks. Finishing off the upper is the mudguard which is a protective material all around the base of the shoe to help reduce the build-up of mud. A Quicklace system allows you to quickly and easily adjust the fit, whilst a lace pocket prevents any distractions whilst on the go. The upper features 49% recycled materials, making the X Ultra 360 Edge a more conscious option.

EnergyCell Midsole

Within the midsole, the shoe has injected and compressed EVA which forms the EnergyCell Midsole. This multi-functional midsole will provide both comfort and protection, as it has dual-density EVA. Towards the bottom, the EVA is extremely firm, which will absorb shocks instantly and effectively, preventing them from causing any damage to the sole. The energy produced from this will also be returned as rebound, which will give you an added spring in your step. The higher you get in the midsole, the EVA becomes less densely packed, which will make every step feel comfortable. In addition to this, between the outsole and the midsole, there is an Advanced Chassis. This targets articulations on the outer foot to optimize stability without limiting your mobility while also keeping the front of the shoe flexible for a more fluid ride while an Ortholite sockliner offers step-in comfort from the very first step. Lastly, the midsole utilises recycled electrical cables in the construction for a more environmentally friendly choice.

Contagrip Outsole

The Salomon X Ultra 360 Edge features a Contagrip outsole, providing unique traction technology and all-terrain grip. Contagrip is built for the widest variety of surfaces. It balances both the geometry and the rubber compound to deliver confidence on wet, dry, hard or loose surfaces, and offer long-term durability. The outsole grabs the terrain, even when it's wet or slippery, giving you more control, especially on descents. When you are moving on the wet and muddy ground, the shoe's deep chevron lugs dig into the ground, which will anchor you in place. This will also benefit you by acting as a solid base for you to push off from when taking a stride, as well as digging into the ground when braking and changing direction.
