Product Information

Full details

The North Face Glenclyffe Low "TNF Black Anthracite" is designed for the modern adult seeking a versatile, durable, and comfortable low-top sneaker for urban exploration and everyday wear. Its key benefit is the blend of outdoor-grade features, like VIBRAM® traction, with a minimalist aesthetic and ease of use thanks to the speed lacing system. A potential caveat is its low-profile design, which may offer less ankle support than higher-cut boots for more demanding terrains. This sneaker features a breathable synthetic upper, EVA cushioning, and is partially constructed from recycled materials.

FAQs

Are these shoes suitable for hiking?

These shoes are suitable for light hikes on well-maintained trails due to their VIBRAM® sole and cushioning. However, their low-profile design means they offer less ankle support than dedicated hiking boots for rugged terrain.

How do I clean the synthetic upper?

Wipe the synthetic upper with a damp cloth. Avoid using harsh chemicals or machine washing, and allow them to air dry naturally.

What does "speed lacing system" mean?

The speed lacing system allows you to quickly adjust and secure the fit of the shoes with a simple pull-tab mechanism, making them easy to put on and take off.

Are these shoes waterproof?

The description does not specify waterproof capabilities. The synthetic upper is breathable, suggesting they are not designed for submersion but may offer some resistance to light moisture.

What is the benefit of the EVA insole?

The EVA insole provides lightweight cushioning, helping to absorb shock and offer comfort for extended wear.

How much recycled material is used?

The product is described as 'partially made from recycled materials,' aligning with an Eco-Friendly strategy, though the exact percentage is not specified.

What kind of surfaces is the VIBRAM® sole best for?

VIBRAM® technology is known for providing reliable grip on a variety of surfaces, including urban pavement, dirt trails, and moderate rocky terrain.

Troubleshooting

Laces not tightening properly

Ensure the speed lacing mechanism is fully disengaged before attempting to tighten. Check for any debris caught in the lacing system that might prevent smooth operation.

Slight discomfort during first wear

Allow a short break-in period. Wear the shoes for short durations initially and gradually increase wear time as the cushioning and upper conform to your foot.

Reduced grip on wet surfaces

While VIBRAM® offers excellent grip, extreme wet conditions can still reduce traction. Ensure the sole is clean from mud or debris that could affect its performance.

Material feels stiff

The synthetic upper is designed for durability and may feel slightly firm initially. Gentle flexing and short wear periods will help break them in, improving flexibility over time.
