Product Information
Full details
The North Face Glenclyffe Low "Sycamore Tnf Black" is designed for active lifestyle enthusiasts seeking a blend of modern urban aesthetics and trail-ready functionality. Its key benefit lies in the versatile performance offered by high-quality synthetic materials, EVA cushioning, and a VIBRAM® outsole, making it suitable for both city streets and rougher terrain. A minor consideration is that while featuring recycled materials, it's important to note that the majority of the upper is synthetic, not solely recycled.

FAQs
Are these shoes waterproof?
The Glenclyffe Low shoes are not designed to be fully waterproof. They offer some resistance to light moisture but are best suited for dry to moderately wet conditions. For heavy rain or water immersion, waterproof footwear is recommended.
What makes these shoes 'Eco Friendly'?
These shoes are considered 'Eco Friendly' because a significant portion of the materials used in their construction are recycled, supporting sustainable manufacturing practices.
How do I determine the right size?
Refer to the size chart provided by The North Face. These shoes are listed in UK sizing. Ensure you measure your foot accurately and compare it to the chart for the best fit.
Can I wear these for intense hiking?
The Glenclyffe Low is suitable for light to moderate trails and hikes due to its VIBRAM® outsole and cushioning. For very technical or strenuous mountain activities, consider specialized hiking boots.
How should I clean the VIBRAM® sole?
Use a brush to remove loose dirt. For a more thorough clean, use a damp cloth with mild soap and water, then rinse with a clean, damp cloth. Ensure the sole is dry before wearing.
What is the main advantage of the EVA midsole?
The EVA midsole provides lightweight cushioning, which helps to absorb shock during movement and offers enhanced comfort for extended wear.

Troubleshooting
Shoes feel stiff or uncomfortable
The shoes may require a break-in period. Wear them for short durations initially and gradually increase wear time. Ensure laces are adjusted for a comfortable fit without being too tight.
Traction seems reduced on wet surfaces
Ensure the VIBRAM® outsole is clean and free from mud or debris. While VIBRAM® offers excellent grip, extremely smooth or oily surfaces can still pose a slip hazard.
Discoloration on synthetic upper
Gently clean the affected area with a damp cloth and mild soap. Avoid using bleach or aggressive cleaning agents. Test any cleaning solution on an inconspicuous area first.

Care Instructions:
To maintain the quality and longevity of your Glenclyffe Low shoes:
- Cleaning the Upper: Use a soft brush or a damp cloth to gently wipe away dirt and dust from the synthetic upper. Avoid harsh chemicals or abrasive cleaners.
- Cleaning the Midsole: A damp cloth is usually sufficient to clean the EVA midsole. Stubborn marks can be addressed with a mild soap and water solution, followed by a rinse with a clean, damp cloth.
- Cleaning the Outsole: Use a brush to remove dirt and debris from the VIBRAM® outsole. For deeper cleaning, a damp cloth or a scrub brush with mild soap can be used.
