FAQs
Are these shoes waterproof?
The Glenclyffe trainers prioritize breathability and support; they are not marketed as fully waterproof.
Can I use these for hiking?
They are suitable for light outdoor use and groomed trails, but they are primarily designed for urban performance.
How do I determine my size?
These shoes follow standard adult UK sizing; refer to The North Face size guide to match your measurements.
Are they suitable for the gym?
Yes, their stable outsole and supportive build make them a great choice for general gym activities and weight training.
How should I clean the rubber toe cap?
A damp cloth with mild detergent will effectively remove scuffs and dirt from the rubber toe protection.
Troubleshooting
The outsole feels slippery on extremely smooth, wet surfaces.
While Vibram XS Trek is high-performance, all rubber can lose grip on non-porous wet surfaces like metal grates; tread carefully in such conditions.
The fit feels slightly tight.
Loosen the lacing system completely and re-tie to ensure uniform tension, or wear thinner socks to allow for material adjustment during the break-in period.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure your Glenclyffe Trainers remain in peak condition, consider the following maintenance tips:
- Cleaning: Use a soft brush to remove loose dirt from the outsole and uppers after outdoor use. For persistent stains, wipe gently with a damp cloth and mild soap.
- Drying: Always air dry your shoes at room temperature. Avoid direct heat sources like radiators or hair dryers, as these can compromise the adhesives and rubber compounds.
- Fit Check: Ensure the laces are adjusted properly before long walks to maintain support around the midfoot.
- Storage: Store in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight to prevent material degradation.
