FAQs
Are these sandals suitable for hiking?
The Skeena Platform Sandals are designed primarily for casual and lifestyle wear. While they offer good traction for light trails, they are not intended for strenuous hiking or technical terrain due to their material and construction.
How do I adjust the straps for the best fit?
The sandals feature adjustable straps at the front and back. Loosen the straps to slip your foot in, then tighten them until snug and secure, ensuring no pinching or excessive pressure.
What is the weight of these sandals?
The approximate weight for half a pair of The North Face Skeena Platform Sandals is 146 grams.
Can these sandals be worn in water?
While the materials are somewhat water-resistant, they are not specifically designed for submersion. They can handle light splashes, but prolonged exposure to water and submersion is not recommended as it may affect the materials and adhesives over time.
What materials are the sandals made from?
The upper and outer material are made from 100% nylon webbing. The midsole is constructed from EVA, and the outsole is made of rubber.
How should I clean the sandals?
Clean with a damp cloth and mild soap if necessary. Allow them to air dry completely away from direct heat.
Troubleshooting
Straps do not feel secure
Ensure the Velcro or buckle on the adjustable straps is firmly fastened. If the straps are worn out, consider replacement if possible, or seek professional advice.
Soles feel slippery on wet surfaces
While the outsole has lugs for grip, synthetic materials can become less effective on very wet or smooth surfaces. Use caution in such conditions.
Discomfort after prolonged wear
Ensure the fit is correctly adjusted. Break in the sandals gradually by wearing them for shorter periods initially. Check for any potential friction points and adjust straps accordingly.
