FAQs
Are these shoes fully waterproof?
Yes, the 'WP' in the title stands for Waterproof, meaning they are designed to repel water and keep your feet dry in damp conditions.
How do I determine the right fit?
These shoes follow standard UK sizing. Ensure there is about a thumb's width of space at the front for toe comfort during downhill hiking.
Can I use these for school or casual wear?
While designed for hiking, their durable construction and aesthetic make them suitable for any outdoor activity or casual wear in rugged environments.
What is the best way to clean the waterproof membrane?
Wipe with a damp cloth. Never put these shoes in a washing machine, as the agitation can damage the waterproof lining.
Do these shoes provide good arch support?
They offer standard athletic arch support suitable for most hikers, but you can insert custom orthotics if you require specialized support.
Troubleshooting
Water entering the shoe during heavy rain
Ensure the shoe is laced tightly up to the ankle to prevent water from entering through the top collar.
Difficulty putting the shoe on
Utilize the pull-on tabs on the heel while loosening the laces to provide maximum opening space for the foot.
Loss of traction on slippery surfaces
Check the outsole for mud or debris buildup in the tread patterns and clean them out to restore grip.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure the longevity of your The North Face Fastpack Hiker Mid WP, proper maintenance is essential.
- Fitting: Ensure you are using the correct UK size, as the mid-cut design should sit snugly around the ankle without being constrictive.
- Cleaning: After muddy hikes, rinse the exterior with cool water and use a soft-bristled brush to remove dried dirt from the lugs of the outsole. Avoid using harsh detergents.
- Drying: Always air dry in a well-ventilated area away from direct heat sources, such as radiators or direct sunlight, which can cause the waterproof materials to crack or lose integrity.
- Storage: Keep in a cool, dry place. Avoid storing in humid environments, as this can lead to material degradation.
