FAQs

Are these shoes waterproof?

While the Glenclyffe series offers durable protection, they are not classified as fully waterproof boots. They are best suited for dry or light damp conditions.

Are these suitable for hiking?

They are designed for urban use and light outdoor activities. For technical or multi-day hiking on rugged terrain, we recommend dedicated hiking boots from The North Face.

How do I ensure the correct size?

These follow standard adult sizing. We recommend referencing your existing UK sizing, but if you prefer wearing thicker socks, consider a half-size up.

Can I put these in the washing machine?

No, machine washing can damage the structural adhesives and the protective rubber components of the shoe.

What is the purpose of the rubber toe cap?

The toe cap provides extra durability and impact protection for your toes when navigating obstacles or uneven terrain.

Troubleshooting

Outer material shows signs of dirt buildup

Use a soft-bristled brush to gently remove dry debris before wiping with a damp, soapy cloth.

Outsole loses traction grip

Clean the tread patterns with a small brush to remove trapped mud or gravel that may obstruct the Vibram rubber contact.

Insole feels less comfortable over time

Remove and hand-wash the insoles with mild soap, then let them air dry completely before reinserting.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • High-quality construction inspired by mountain-ready gear
  • Excellent traction provided by the Vibram outsole
  • Protective toe cap enhances longevity and safety
  • Versatile aesthetic suitable for both urban and light outdoor use

Cons

  • Not intended for technical mountain climbing
  • Available in specific sizing that may require precision fitting
  • Design leans towards performance rather than traditional casual sneaker style

Setup, Compatibility & Care

To ensure your Glenclyffe trainers last, avoid submerging them in water or using harsh detergents. For routine cleaning, wipe the exterior with a damp cloth and mild soap. If the shoes become wet, allow them to air dry naturally away from direct heat sources, such as radiators, which can degrade the materials. When storing, keep them in a cool, dry place and ensure they are not crushed by heavier items to maintain their structural integrity.
