FAQs
Are The North Face Explore Camp Shandals waterproof?
These Shandals feature a 100% textile construction, meaning they are not fully waterproof. While they can handle incidental splashes, they will absorb water if submerged. It's recommended to air dry them thoroughly if they get wet.
What kind of activities are these Shandals best suited for?
They are specifically designed for hiking, offering comfort and support for trails. Their lightweight and versatile nature also makes them suitable for general outdoor activities, camping, and casual wear.
How should I clean my Explore Camp Shandals?
For best results, hand wash with mild soap and cold water. Avoid harsh chemicals or machine washing. Allow them to air dry completely in a shaded area, away from direct heat.
Does the anatomical arch support benefit all foot types?
The anatomical arch support is designed to provide enhanced comfort and stability for most users by conforming to the natural shape of the foot. Individuals with very specific foot conditions may still benefit from custom orthotics if needed.
Can I wear socks with these Shandals?
Yes, you can wear socks with these Shandals depending on your preference and the weather conditions. Many hikers choose to wear thin socks for added comfort or to prevent chafing on longer treks.
How durable is the textile material?
The 100% textile material is chosen for its balance of durability, flexibility, and breathability, making it suitable for regular outdoor use. Proper care, as outlined in the care section, will help prolong its lifespan.
Troubleshooting
Foot discomfort after long wear
Ensure the Shandals are properly sized for your feet. Allow a break-in period for the anatomical footbed to fully conform to your foot's unique shape. If discomfort persists, consider adjusting strap tightness or taking short breaks during prolonged activity.
Shandals feel slippery on certain surfaces
The optimized rubber outsole provides versatile traction, but no footwear is entirely slip-proof on all surfaces, especially wet or slick rocks. Exercise caution in such conditions. Regularly clean the outsole to remove accumulated dirt or debris that might reduce grip.
Unpleasant odor developing in the footbed
Odor can result from moisture and bacteria. After use, allow the Shandals to air out completely. For deeper cleaning, hand wash the footbed with a mild anti-bacterial soap and thoroughly air dry. Using odor-absorbing inserts when not in use can also help.

They are compatible with typical hiking environments, general outdoor activities, and casual wear. To ensure longevity, care for your Explore Camp Shandals by gently cleaning the 100% textile material. For general dirt, a soft brush can be used. For more substantial cleaning, hand wash with a mild soap and cold water. Avoid harsh detergents or machine washing, as these can damage the material and construction. Allow the Shandals to air dry thoroughly in a shaded area, away from direct heat or sunlight, to prevent material degradation and odors. Regular cleaning will help maintain their appearance and performance.
