FAQs
Are these shoes waterproof?
The Altamesa 500 V2 prioritizes breathability with a textile upper, meaning they are not waterproof and may absorb water during heavy rain or creek crossings.
Can I use these for road running?
While they can be used on pavement, the rubber outsole and tread pattern are specifically engineered for off-road trails and may experience faster wear on hard asphalt.
How do I ensure I have the right size?
Always verify your fit by trying them on. Note that the box label may display US/Euro sizing, which differs from UK sizing; rely on the UK size conversion provided at purchase.
What is the primary material of the upper?
The upper is constructed from high-quality textile material, chosen for its lightweight and breathable properties.
Can I machine wash these trainers?
It is not recommended to machine wash these shoes, as the heat and agitation can damage the synthetic linings and sole bonds. Hand cleaning with a damp cloth is the best practice.
Troubleshooting
Foot feels unstable inside the shoe
Adjust the lace tension starting from the bottom eyelets moving upwards to ensure even pressure across the midfoot.
Difficulty determining the correct size
Always reference the UK size specifically, ignoring potentially confusing US/EU labels on the packaging as the primary indicator.
Build-up of grit inside the shoe
Consider using gaiters if running on loose sand or scree to prevent debris from entering through the breathable mesh.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure the best experience, try the trainers on indoors on a clean surface first to confirm sizing. Because The North Face uses international sizing, check the tag carefully against your standard UK size.
Care Instructions:
- Cleaning: Remove loose mud and dirt with a soft brush after each run. For deeper cleaning, use a damp cloth with mild soap; avoid submerging the shoes in water or using a washing machine, as this can degrade the synthetic materials and adhesives.
- Drying: Air dry naturally away from direct heat sources like radiators or sunlight, which can cause the rubber or textiles to warp or crack.
- Storage: Store in a cool, dry place out of direct sunlight.
