FAQs
Are these shoes suitable for everyday use?
While the shoes are comfortable, their specialized design and features make them more suitable for hiking and alpine activities rather than everyday use.
How do I clean the shoes?
Use a damp cloth to wipe away dirt and debris. Avoid using harsh chemicals or placing them in a washing machine.
What kind of socks should I wear?
Wear moisture-wicking socks to help manage sweat and keep your feet dry and comfortable.
Can I use these shoes in winter?
Yes, the GORE-TEX membrane and robust construction make them suitable for winter hiking, but consider adding gaiters for extra protection against snow.
How long will the waterproofing last?
The GORE-TEX membrane is durable, but its performance can be affected by wear and tear. Regular care and the application of DWR treatment can extend the lifespan of the waterproofing.
What is the warranty on these shoes?
Warranty information can vary; please refer to The North Face warranty policy for specifics. Typically, there is a warranty against manufacturing defects.
What is the lifespan of these shoes?
The lifespan depends on usage and care. With proper care and maintenance, the shoes can last for several years of regular hiking.
Troubleshooting
Shoes feel too tight.
Ensure you have the correct size. Try loosening the laces or wearing thinner socks. Consider breaking in the shoes with short walks.
Water is entering the shoe.
Check for any damage to the GORE-TEX membrane. Ensure the laces are properly tightened. Reapply DWR treatment if necessary.

Clean the outsole to remove any dirt or debris. Check for excessive wear on the treads. Consider using different footwear for extremely slippery conditions.
