FAQs
Are these shoes suitable for hiking?
The Glenclyffe Low is suitable for light trail hiking due to its VIBRAM® outsole for grip and cushioning. However, they are not designed for rugged, technical terrain and may lack ankle support for advanced hiking.
How do I clean the synthetic upper?
Gently wipe the synthetic upper with a damp cloth. For tougher marks, use a mild soap solution and a soft brush, then wipe clean with a damp cloth. Always allow them to air dry.
What is the benefit of the speed lacing system?
The speed lacing system allows for very quick and easy adjustment of the shoe's fit, ensuring a secure hold in seconds without the need for traditional tying.
Are these shoes waterproof?
The synthetic upper offers weather resistance against light moisture, but the shoes are not fully waterproof. They are best suited for cool, dry conditions or light rain.
Can I replace the EVA insole?
Yes, the EVA insole is typically removable, allowing you to replace it with your own custom orthotics or a different type of insole if desired.
What does 'Eco Friendly - the product is partially made from recycled materials' mean?
This indicates that certain components of the shoe have been manufactured using recycled materials, contributing to a more sustainable production process and reducing environmental impact.
What is the primary intended use for these shoes?
These shoes are designed for a combination of urban functionality and outdoor-inspired aesthetics, making them ideal for daily wear, commuting, and casual outings, with capability for light trail use.
Troubleshooting
Difficulty tightening or loosening the speed lacing system.
Ensure the toggle mechanism is clean and free of debris. If it feels stiff, a small amount of silicone-based lubricant might help, applied sparingly. Check for any tangled laces within the mechanism.
Slipping or reduced grip on surfaces.
Clean the VIBRAM® outsole thoroughly to remove mud, dirt, or debris that may be affecting traction. Inspect the tread pattern for excessive wear; if worn, grip may be compromised.
Discomfort or pressure points during wear.
Adjust the speed lacing system for a more customized fit. Ensure the shoes are the correct size and width. Break-in the shoes by wearing them for short periods initially.
Shoes feel wet or waterlogged after exposure to moisture.
Allow the shoes to air dry completely. The synthetic upper offers some water resistance, but they are not fully waterproof. Avoid prolonged submersion in water.

Care:
- Cleaning the Upper: Use a soft brush or damp cloth to gently remove dirt and debris from the synthetic upper. Avoid harsh chemicals or abrasive cleaners.
- Cleaning the Midsole and Outsole: Wipe down the EVA midsole and VIBRAM® outsole with a damp cloth. For stubborn dirt on the outsole, a mild soap and water solution can be used, followed by rinsing with clean water.
