FAQs
Are these shoes waterproof?
The Glenclyffe Urban Low shoes are water-resistant due to the materials and sole construction, but they are not fully waterproof. The suede upper can be damaged by prolonged exposure to water.

These shoes are inspired by outdoor footwear but are best suited for light trails and urban exploration. They do not offer the specialized support or protection of technical hiking boots for challenging terrain.
How do I clean the suede material?
Use a suede brush for dry dirt and a specialized suede cleaner for stains. Avoid soaking the suede and always allow it to air dry naturally away from heat.
Do these shoes contain recycled materials?
Yes, the Glenclyffe Urban Low is made partially from recycled materials, contributing to sustainability.

Troubleshooting
Suede looks dirty or stained.
Use a suede brush to lift dry dirt. For stains, use a dedicated suede cleaner, testing on an inconspicuous area first, and follow the product's instructions. Ensure the shoes are dry before brushing.
Traction feels reduced.
Clean the rubber sole thoroughly with water and a stiff brush to remove embedded dirt or debris that may be affecting grip.
Shoes feel stiff initially.
This is common with new suede and rubber shoes. Wear them for short periods initially to allow them to break in and conform to your foot shape. Gentle flexing can also help.
Color transfer from black accents.
While unlikely with quality manufacturing, if color transfer occurs, avoid wearing with very light-colored socks initially. Ensure the shoes are dry, as moisture can sometimes increase color bleeding.
