FAQs
How do I know if I ordered the right size?
The shoes are designed to fit true to size. We recommend ordering your usual shoe size. If you are between sizes or prefer more room, consider sizing up.
Are these shoes suitable for very rugged terrain?
These shoes are best suited for moderate hiking trails. While they offer good grip, the low-profile cut might provide less ankle support than a mid or high-cut boot on extremely uneven or challenging terrain.
Can I wear these for everyday casual use?
Yes, many users find them comfortable for casual wear due to their standard fit and modern design. However, their primary design is for hiking performance.
How do I clean the textile upper?
Use a soft brush or a damp cloth to gently remove dirt and debris. Allow them to air dry completely.
What is the material of the sole?
The shoes feature soles with chunky features designed for traction and stability on various outdoor surfaces.
Do these shoes come in other colors?
This specific model is available in blue. Please check the product listing for other available color options and models from The North Face.
Troubleshooting
Shoes feel too tight or uncomfortable
Loosen the laces and re-tie them, ensuring a snug but not overly tight fit. Wear the shoes for short periods initially to allow them to break in.
Laces are difficult to tie securely
Ensure the laces are not frayed or damaged. Consider replacing them with new laces if they are worn out.
Traction seems reduced on wet surfaces
While designed for grip, extreme wet conditions can reduce traction for any footwear. Ensure soles are free of mud or debris. For very slippery conditions, proceed with caution.
Water ingress during wet conditions
These shoes are not waterproof. For wet weather, consider using waterproofing sprays or opting for a waterproof hiking boot.
