Product Information
Full details
The North Face Glenclyffe Low in "Sycamore Tnf Black" is designed for adult males seeking a versatile sneaker that blends urban style with outdoor performance. Its key benefit is the combination of lightweight, abrasion-resistant synthetic uppers, cushioned EVA midsole, and reliable VIBRAM® outsole, making it suitable for both city streets and light trails. A minor caveat is that while largely made from recycled materials, it's not entirely constructed from sustainable sources. This shoe offers a modern take on Gorpcore and Workwear aesthetics, prioritizing durability, comfort, and environmental responsibility.

FAQs
What is the main advantage of the VIBRAM® outsole?
The VIBRAM® outsole provides exceptional durability and reliable traction across a wide range of surfaces, enhancing stability and confidence during wear.
Are these shoes suitable for heavy hiking?
The Glenclyffe Low is designed for light trails and urban use. For rugged, technical hiking, sturdier hiking boots with more ankle support would be recommended.
How is this shoe considered eco-friendly?
The shoe is made largely from recycled materials, contributing to a more sustainable production process and reducing waste.
What type of material is the upper made of?
The upper is constructed entirely from high-quality synthetic material, chosen for its lightweight, abrasion-resistant, and flexible properties.
Can I wear these shoes in wet conditions?
The VIBRAM® outsole offers good grip, but the synthetic upper is not waterproof. They are suitable for general wear in damp conditions, but not for prolonged immersion in water.
What sizes are available?
Sizing varies. This specific model is available in UK 7.5, but other sizes and color variations of the Glenclyffe series are available separately.
How should I clean the shoes if they get dirty?
Wipe the upper with a damp cloth. For tougher dirt, use mild soap and water. Clean the sole with a soft brush. Always air dry.
Troubleshooting
Shoes feel stiff or uncomfortable initially
Synthetic materials can require a short break-in period. Wear them for short durations initially and gradually increase wear time. Ensure you have the correct size.
Traction is reduced on wet surfaces
While VIBRAM® offers good traction, performance can vary on extremely slick surfaces. Ensure the outsole is clean of mud or debris for optimal grip.
Slight color variation from product image
Colors may appear slightly different due to lighting during photography and monitor settings. The 'Sycamore Tnf Black' is a distinct green and black combination.
