- Is the X Ultra 360 GTX truly waterproof?
- Yes. It has a Gore-Tex membrane and a synthetic upper, so it keeps water out in rain and shallow puddles. Water can still enter over the collar in deep crossings.
- How does it compare with the X Ultra 4 GTX?
- The 360 is softer, lighter and more flexible, with a roomier fit. The X Ultra 4 GTX is stiffer and more supportive for rough terrain and heavier loads.
- Does it need breaking in?
- Most owners say no. The EVA midsole and padded collar feel comfortable on the first hike, though a short walk before a long trip is sensible.
- What is the drop and how does it fit?
- It has a 10 mm heel-to-toe drop and a normal width. Sizing runs close to standard US sizes; try half a size up if you wear thick hiking socks.
- Is it good for hot weather?
- It is warm. The Gore-Tex liner blocks sweat from escaping, so it suits cool and wet conditions better than summer heat.
- What is in the box?
- One pair of shoes with the quick-lace system already fitted. Spare laces are not included.
