Nuestra conclusión

Las 360 Edge son una opción más asequible dentro de la gama Salomon X Ultra, y resulta que destacan en el senderismo de un día por terrenos distintos. Conservan las características que se centran en el rendimiento de sus compañeras más caras, pero se han vuelto más pequeñas para adaptarse a las aventuras al aire libre más cortas y moderadas. Siempre y cuando te gusten las plataformas firmes y que te dejan sentir el suelo, en vez de las amortiguaciones más mullidas, creemos que la seguridad que estas Salomon están listas para darte hará que te enamores de ellas.

Pros

  • Mucha conexión con el suelo
  • Sujeción y estabilidad lateral excelentes
  • Tracción fantástica en diversos terrenos
  • Resistencia al desgaste y durabilidad estupendas
  • Ajuste fácil con la tecnología Quicklace
  • Buena transpirabilidad para irte de ruta en verano
  • Upper muy acolchado

Contras

  • Sin mucha absorción de impactos
  • No son aptas para pies anchos
  • Se vuelven incluso más firmes con el frío

Who should buy

Consider the X Ultra 360 Edge if you recognise yourself in the following:

  • you need a sturdy shoe for shorter hikes on mixed terrain (from rocks to mud)
  • you prefer trail awareness over max-cushioned platforms
  • you look for a breathable yet durable shoe for summer hiking

Salomon X Ultra 360 Edge review

Who should NOT buy

The rigid nature of this Salomon shoe might be a turn-off for people who value pure comfort and cushioning on the trail. That's the realm of HOKA shoes like the Anacapa 2 Low GTX.

Another dealbreaker could be the shoe's snug toebox, and in that case, the Merrell Moab Speed 2 is likely to be more suitable.

Salomon X Ultra 360 Edge lab test and review

You might as well want to know the differences between the X Ultra 360 Edge variations themselves to figure out which one matches you neds the most:

  • X Ultra 360 Edge GTX: the shoe's waterproof Gore-Tex version
  • X Ultra 360: the cheapest version in the series with no recycled materials
  • X Ultra 360 Leather GTX: like the X Ultra 360 but with Gore-Tex waterproofing and genuine leather in the upper

Amortiguación

Shock absorption

Nuevo

With their low-profile and rigid builds, Salomon shoes tend to be the least cushioned hiking options on the market. The same proved to be true for the X Ultra 360 Edge as its midsole returned some of the lowest shock absorption measurements in our lab - 85 SA.

This shoe can feel a bit harsh and barebones for someone coming from well-cushioned shoes like HOKA, but in return, it offers the benefit of amazing stability and trail awareness.

Energy return

The energy return of this Salomon model also returned a very moderate result of 46.8%. There is no apparent springback or bounce to this shoe's platform, and the ride feels flat yet grounded.

Altura de la suela en la zona del talón

The X Ultra 360 Edge showed some of the lowest stack height measurements in our hiking shoe lineup. Even though it's not minimal, it feels pretty close to the trail at 29.1 mm in the heel.

Drop

Despite its lower stack height, the heel-to-toe drop of the Salomon X Ultra 360 Edge remains comparable to the average.

Its 10.2 mm offset is going to feel familiar to many outdoor enthusiasts because most hiking shoes put the heel in an elevated position to reduce stress on the Achilles and calves on long-distance hikes.

Suavidad de la mediasuela

A full-length Energy Cell foam is responsible for the X Ultra 360 Edge's midsole cushioning.

Actually, the word 'buffer' would be more suitable than 'cushioning' when describing this foam component. Our durometer proved it to be quite firm with a high reading of 31.3 HA.

Anchura / Ajuste

Salomon shoes tend to be pretty streamlined, which often results in a snugger fit. To check if that stands true for the X Ultra 360 Edge, we created a gel mold of its interiors.

Measuring the shoe's solidified mold in its widest part (the ball of the foot), our caliper returned a standard reading of 95.1 mm. This is just right for a hiking shoe in a men's US size 9 and a D medium fit.

But please note that wider versions are not available for this Salomon shoe.

Now this is where some people may have trouble with the X Ultra 360 Edge.

Our caliper confirmed that its toebox gets notably narrower towards the toes, resulting in a below-average width of. 70.9 mm in the big toe area.

This is on the edge of comfortable for a medium-width foot and can be a problem for some foot shapes and conditions, especially if they tend to swell mid-hike.

To check how the shoe's All Terrain ContraGrip outsole behaves on smooth and wet surfaces, we tested its friction capacity on a wet slab of concrete.

Fortunately, Salomon proved its mighty grip yet again and showed a sliding friction coefficient of 0.56 in the shoe's forefoot.

There is a high chance of staying surefooted on wet boulders or stream-polished river rocks in the X Ultra 360 Edge!

Profundidad del dibujo de la suela

The X Ultra 360 Edge was designed for a mixed but moderate type of terrain, including some rocks, mossy downed trees, and light mud. So its 4.5 mm lugs provide a perfect middle ground between hard-packed and soft terrain.

But if you need a shoe for tackling technical, off-camber terrain with some scrambling along the way, the La Sportiva Ultra Raptor II is a much more suitable companion.

Flexibilidad / Rigidez

Nuevo

Despite its robust appearance, the Salomon X Ultra 360 Edge showed decent flexibility in our bending test.

It took 15.2N of force to bend the shoe by 30 degrees, which is even a bit less than it takes for an average hiking shoe. So you get to have some natural forefoot pliability and better proprioception on the trail.

Peso

Weighing the X Ultra 360 Edge in a men's US size 9, our scale returned a standard reading of 13.5 oz (383g).

Even though it could be lighter as a non-waterproof shoe with a lower stack height, we believe that its weight is reasonable given the stability it offers.

Transpirabilidad

In this review, we are looking at the non-waterproof version of the Salomon X Ultra 360 Edge, but its Gore-Tex (GTX) version is readily available at a slightly higher price.

Even though it comes without a waterproofing membrane, the X Ultra 360 Edge didn't show the highest levels of breathability and ventilation.

Its thick and heavily layered upper blocks some of the airflow and prevents us from giving this shoe the highest breathability score.

Salomon X Ultra 360 Edge Breathability Microscope test

Completing our investigation with a close-up microscope look at its upper mesh, we ended up lowering the shoe's score to 3 out of 5. It's good for summer hikes, but perhaps not in the most scorching weather conditions.

Estabilidad

Prueba de estabilidad lateral

Stability is the Salomon X Ultra series' forte, and the 360 Edge carries over its famous AdvancedChassis technology.

It's not as large and pronounced as in the X Ultra 5 GTX, but it gets the job done for the moderate hikes the 360 Edge shoe was created for in the first place.

Salomon X Ultra 360 Edge Advanced Chassis

Made of stiff TPU, the AdvancedChassis starts in the midfoot and wraps around the heel to keep the foot as stable and surefooted as possible on uneven terrain, especially when a heavy backpack is involved.

Rigidez torsional

The chassis works together with the shoe's inherently firm midsole and stout upper to create a fairly rigid construction for a stable footing.

Our attempt to twist the shoe in a manual test showed little success, and we reflected that in its high torsional rigidity score of 4/5.

Even with its slimmer profile, the Salomon X Ultra 360 Edge offers a sufficiently broad landing area. In fact, our caliper confirmed that the widest part of its forefoot is even a bit wider than average at 114.6 mm.

Durabilidad

Durabilidad de la parte delantera

We can forgive the X Ultra 360 Edge's slightly obstructed breathability in exchange for the reliable foot protection and durability it offers.

A large area of the shoe's toebox is reinforced with a tough TPU toe bumper and synthetic overlays for toe protection and higher abrasion resistance. Our Dremel test confirmed that it will take a long time and effort to wear through all that armour.

Thus, we rated the shoe's toebox durability with a high score of 4/5 without hesitation.

However, its inner lining lags a bit behind with a moderate durability score of 3/5. It won't break down too fast, but it likely won't last a good while without developing a hole.

  • 8% in the midsole (recycled electric cables)
