FAQs
Are these shoes suitable for serious hiking trails?
The Glenclyffe Low is designed for light trails and versatile use. For strenuous or highly technical hiking, dedicated hiking boots with more ankle support and aggressive tread might be more appropriate.
How do I know if I have the correct size?
Ensure there is about a thumb's width of space between your longest toe and the front of the shoe when standing. The shoe should feel snug but not tight, with no heel slippage.
Can these shoes be worn in the rain?
The synthetic upper offers some water resistance, and the VIBRAM® outsole provides good grip on wet surfaces. However, they are not fully waterproof and may become saturated in heavy rain or prolonged wet conditions.
What does "Eco Friendly" mean for this product?
It indicates that a significant portion of the materials used in the construction of these shoes are recycled, contributing to a more sustainable fashion approach.
How does the EVA midsole contribute to comfort?
EVA (Ethylene Vinyl Acetate) is a foam material known for its lightweight, cushioning, and shock-absorbing properties. It helps reduce impact on your feet and joints during wear.
What is the benefit of a VIBRAM® outsole?
VIBRAM® is a highly respected brand known for producing durable and high-performance rubber outsoles that offer excellent traction on a wide variety of surfaces, increasing stability and confidence.
Troubleshooting
Traction is reduced on wet surfaces.
Ensure the VIBRAM® outsole is clean from mud or debris. For persistent issues on very slick surfaces, consider products designed to enhance grip on footwear.
Feet feel uncomfortable after extended wear.
Verify that the shoe size is correct. Consider using aftermarket insoles for additional cushioning or arch support if needed.
Synthetic upper shows signs of wear.
Regular cleaning and proper drying can help maintain the material's integrity. For minor scuffs, a damp cloth may be sufficient.

Care Instructions:
- Cleaning the Upper: Wipe the synthetic upper with a damp cloth to remove dirt and debris. For stubborn stains, use a mild soap solution and a soft brush, then wipe clean with a damp cloth.
- Midsole and Outsole: Clean the EVA midsole and VIBRAM® outsole with water and a soft brush. Avoid harsh chemicals or abrasive cleaners.
