FAQs
Are these shoes suitable for hiking?
The North Face Glenclyffe Low offers reliable traction and cushioning suitable for light trails and mixed terrain. For very technical or demanding hikes, higher-cut boots might offer more ankle support.
How do I clean the synthetic upper?
Use a soft, damp cloth to gently wipe away dirt. For tougher spots, a mild soap solution can be applied sparingly, followed by a clean damp cloth. Always air dry.
What does 'Eco Friendly' mean for this product?
It signifies that a significant portion of the materials used in the construction of these shoes are recycled, contributing to more sustainable fashion practices.
Can I wear these shoes in the rain?
The VIBRAM® outsole provides good traction, but the synthetic upper is not waterproof. They are suitable for light rain or damp conditions, but prolonged exposure to heavy rain might lead to discomfort.
What is the main advantage of the VIBRAM® outsole?
The VIBRAM® outsole is renowned for its durability and superior grip, providing consistent and reliable traction on a wide variety of surfaces, both wet and dry.
How does the EVA midsole contribute to comfort?
The EVA (Ethylene Vinyl Acetate) material in the midsole provides lightweight cushioning, absorbing impact and reducing fatigue during prolonged wear.
Troubleshooting
Slight stiffness upon first wear
The synthetic upper may require a brief break-in period. Wear the shoes for short periods initially to allow them to conform to your foot shape.
Reduced grip on wet surfaces
Ensure the VIBRAM® outsole is free from mud or debris. If the shoe is new, it may take a few wears for the outsole to reach its optimal grip.
Discoloration of the upper
Avoid exposing the shoes to direct sunlight for extended periods. Clean gently with a damp cloth as per care instructions.
