FAQs

Are these shoes waterproof?

While the Glenclyffe trainers provide excellent protection against urban elements, they are not classified as fully waterproof hiking boots.

Can I use these for long-distance hiking?

These are optimized for city environments and light trails. They may lack the specific specialized support needed for multi-day, high-altitude alpine trekking.

How do I determine my size?

These trainers follow standard UK sizing. We recommend choosing your typical sneaker size, keeping in mind the athletic, technical fit.

What is the primary difference between the Glenclyffe and the Glenclyffe Low?

The primary difference is the collar height; the standard Glenclyffe typically offers slightly more ankle coverage, whereas the Low version is designed for a more traditional, agile sneaker feel.

What is the purpose of the rubber toe cap?

The toe cap provides a hard-wearing barrier to protect your toes and the front of the shoe from scuffs, impacts, and general wear and tear.

Troubleshooting

Feeling of stiffness in the sole

The shoe features a technical design that requires a short 'break-in' period; wear them for shorter durations during the first week to allow the materials to adapt to your foot shape.

Outsole collecting debris

Use a stiff-bristled brush to dislodge pebbles or mud from the tread pattern to maintain maximum grip on smooth surfaces.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Excellent grip on concrete and city surfaces due to Vibram rubber
  • Reinforced toe cap increases durability for heavy daily use
  • Professional-grade construction inspired by technical mountain gear
  • Versatile aesthetic suitable for both office and casual wear

Cons

  • Not intended for technical mountain climbing or rugged off-trail use
  • Brown colorway requires specific care to prevent water staining
  • May feel stiffer initially compared to traditional lifestyle sneakers

Setup, Compatibility & Care

To ensure your Glenclyffe trainers last, avoid machine washing them, as this can degrade the specialized bonding of the rubber toe cap. Instead, wipe the exterior with a damp cloth and mild soap to remove city grit. For the brown material, consider using a protectant spray suitable for high-performance textiles to prevent water spots. These shoes are unisex; please verify your UK sizing conversion before purchase, as the technical fit may run slightly snugger than fashion-first footwear.
