FAQs
Are these shoes waterproof?
The North Face Glenclyffe Low features a synthetic upper that offers water resistance, but they are not fully waterproof. They are suitable for light rain and splashes, but prolonged exposure to heavy rain or submersion may allow water to penetrate.
How much recycled material is used in these shoes?
These shoes are part of The North Face's Eco Friendly collection, meaning a significant portion of the materials used are recycled, supporting sustainable fashion.
Can I use these for serious hiking?
The Glenclyffe Low is designed for urban use and light trail walking. While the VIBRAM® outsole provides good traction, they lack the robust support and cushioning needed for strenuous or technical hiking.
How do I clean the green "Sycamore Tnf Black" color?
Clean the upper with a soft brush or damp cloth. For stubborn dirt, use a mild soap solution and rinse with a clean, damp cloth. Allow to air dry away from direct heat.
What is the benefit of the EVA midsole?
The EVA midsole provides lightweight cushioning, absorbing impact and enhancing comfort during prolonged wear, making them suitable for everyday activities and walking.
Do these shoes run true to size?
Generally, The North Face footwear runs true to size. However, fit can vary based on individual foot shape. It is recommended to check available sizing charts and reviews if possible.
What does "Gorpcore" style refer to?
Gorpcore is a fashion trend that draws inspiration from outdoor and utilitarian clothing, often incorporating technical fabrics and functional designs into everyday wear. These sneakers fit into that aesthetic with their blend of style and performance.
Troubleshooting
Shoes feel too tight or uncomfortable
Wear the shoes for short periods initially to allow them to break in. Ensure you have the correct size; if consistently uncomfortable, consider exchanging for a different size.
Traction seems reduced on wet surfaces
Ensure the VIBRAM® outsole is clean and free from mud or debris. While VIBRAM® offers excellent grip, extremely slippery conditions may still pose a challenge. Dry the outsole thoroughly if it becomes wet.
Synthetic upper shows signs of wear after light use
The synthetic material is designed for abrasion resistance, but persistent or extreme abrasion can still cause wear. Ensure you are using the shoes for their intended purpose (urban and light trails) and clean them regularly to remove abrasive particles.
Water seeping through the upper
The synthetic upper is water-resistant to a degree but not fully waterproof. For heavy rain or submersion, water may penetrate. Consider using a waterproofing spray designed for synthetic materials, but note this may affect breathability.

Care Instructions:
- Cleaning the Upper: Use a soft brush or a damp cloth to wipe away dirt and debris from the synthetic upper. For tougher stains, a mild soap solution can be used, followed by rinsing with a clean, damp cloth.
- Cleaning the Midsole and Outsole: Wipe the EVA midsole and VIBRAM® outsole with a damp cloth. Avoid abrasive cleaners that could damage the materials.
- Drying: Allow the shoes to air dry naturally at room temperature. Avoid direct heat sources such as radiators or hairdryers, as this can damage the adhesives and materials. Stuffing the shoes with paper can help absorb moisture and maintain their shape during drying.
- Storage: Store in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight when not in use to preserve the materials and color.
