FAQs

Are these shoes suitable for hiking?

The Glenclyffe Urban Low Shoes are designed for urban environments and light trails. They offer reliable traction and comfort for everyday wear and moderate outdoor use, but are not intended for strenuous or technical hiking.

How do I clean the suede material?

Use a soft-bristled brush to remove dry dirt. For stains, a specialized suede cleaner applied sparingly is recommended. Always allow the shoes to air dry naturally.

What does 'water-resistant' mean for these shoes?

Water-resistant means the shoes can repel light moisture, such as splashes or brief light rain. They are not waterproof and prolonged exposure to heavy rain may lead to wetness.

What is the benefit of the SURFACE CTRL™ outsole?

The SURFACE CTRL™ outsole is designed for versatile grip and reliable traction on a variety of surfaces, balancing lightweight performance with durability for urban and light trail use.

Are the recycled materials used in the shoes durable?

Yes, materials like the recycled P.E.T. ripstop tongue and lining are chosen for their durability and contribution to a more sustainable product design, without compromising performance.

Can I wear these shoes in very cold weather?

These shoes are designed for moderate conditions. While they offer some protection, they are not insulated for extreme cold weather.

What is the heel cradle for?

The TPU heel cradle is incorporated to enhance stability and provide structural support around the heel, contributing to a secure and comfortable fit.

Troubleshooting

Shoe feels stiff after initial wear.

The suede and internal materials may need a break-in period. Wear them for short durations initially and gradually increase wear time as they soften.

Reduced traction on wet surfaces.

Ensure the SURFACE CTRL™ outsole is clean of debris. For prolonged wet conditions, be aware that traction may be reduced compared to dry surfaces.

Suede color appears faded or stained.

Use a suede brush to restore the nap and appearance. For persistent stains, consult a specialized suede cleaner, testing on an inconspicuous area first.

Care Instructions:

  • Suede Cleaning: For dirt or light stains on the suede, use a soft-bristled brush to gently remove dry dirt. For tougher stains, a specialized suede cleaner can be used sparingly, following the product's instructions. Avoid soaking the suede.
  • Water Resistance: While the suede is water-resistant, it is not waterproof. For significant exposure to water, allow the shoes to air dry naturally away from direct heat.
  • Lining and Footbed: The recycled P.E.T. lining and footbed can be spot cleaned with a damp cloth if necessary. Ensure they are completely dry before wearing.
  • Outsole: Clean the outsole with water and a brush to remove accumulated dirt and maintain optimal traction.
