Product Information
Full details
The North Face Skeena Platform Sandal is designed for active women who require a blend of rugged outdoor performance and everyday style. These sandals provide significant comfort through a compression-molded EVA midsole and added height from a platform construction, making them ideal for casual summer outings or light trail walking. While they offer excellent versatility, potential users should note that the nylon strap design may require a break-in period for those with sensitive skin.

FAQs
Are these sandals waterproof?
They are water-friendly and suitable for getting wet, but they are not fully waterproof boots.
Can I use these for long-distance hiking?
They are designed for light trails and casual wear; for technical long-distance hiking, a dedicated hiking shoe is recommended.
How do I determine my size?
These sandals generally run true to size, but we recommend measuring your foot length and comparing it to our standard UK sizing guide.
Does the platform height affect stability?
The platform adds height for style and comfort, but it is engineered to remain stable for standard walking and light activity.
Are the materials recycled?
The North Face prioritizes durability and specific material standards; check the inner tag for specific manufacturing details regarding recycled content.
Troubleshooting
Straps feel abrasive against skin
Ensure the straps are adjusted correctly and try wearing them for shorter periods during the initial break-in phase.
Sandal feels slippery when wet
While the lugged outsole provides good grip, the footbed can become slick; rinse with fresh water and dry thoroughly after exposure to salt or dirt.
Midsole foam showing indentations
This is normal for EVA foam over time, but ensure you are not storing the sandals with heavy objects pressing against the sole.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure the longest lifespan for your Skeena sandals, follow these guidelines:
- Initial Fit: Adjust all straps starting from the front moving toward the ankle to find your ideal tension.
- Cleaning: Hand wash with mild soap and lukewarm water. Avoid using harsh chemicals or abrasive brushes that might damage the nylon straps.
- Drying: Air dry away from direct sunlight or excessive heat sources, which can warp the EVA midsole.
- Storage: Keep in a cool, dry place when not in use for extended periods to maintain the integrity of the material.
