- Is the X Ultra 360 Edge good for beginners?
- Yes. It is light, comfortable out of the box and easy to lace, which suits new hikers on easy and moderate trails. It is not built for heavy packs or technical terrain.
- How does it compare with the standard X Ultra?
- The Edge uses a simpler textile upper and a softer EVA midsole, so it is lighter and less expensive in build than the main X Ultra. The standard model adds more protection and a more technical outsole.
- Is it waterproof?
- No. The textile and synthetic upper is not a waterproof membrane, so it wets through in rain or wet grass. Look at a GTX version of the X Ultra if you need dry feet.
- What is the drop and fit like?
- It has a 10 mm heel-to-toe drop and a normal width. Most buyers take their usual size, but wide-footed wearers often size up.
- Can I use it on pavement?
- Yes. The flexible sole and 10 mm drop make it comfortable on roads and paths, though the rubber lugs will wear faster with heavy pavement use.
- What comes in the box?
- One pair of shoes with the quick-lace system already fitted. Spare laces are not included.
