FAQs
Are The North Face Explore Camp Sandals waterproof?
While the materials are water-friendly and designed to dry quickly, these sandals are not 'waterproof' in the sense of keeping your feet dry. They are excellent for use in wet conditions like river crossings or beach walks, as they drain well and are resistant to water damage.
Can I use these sandals for serious hiking?
The Explore Camp Sandals are designed for camp activities, light trails, and casual outdoor use. For serious or rugged hiking, we recommend choosing dedicated hiking shoes or boots that offer more comprehensive foot protection, support, and stability.
How do I ensure the best fit for my sandals?
Utilize both the adhesive fastening straps over the foot and the adjustable heel strap. Adjust them until the sandal feels snug and secure without being overly tight, allowing for natural foot movement.
What types of activities are these sandals most suitable for?
These sandals are ideal for a range of warm-weather activities including camping, casual walking, exploring light nature trails, visiting the beach or poolside, river crossings, and general outdoor leisure.
How should I clean and care for my sandals?
Hand wash your sandals using cold water and a mild soap. Allow them to air dry completely in a shaded, well-ventilated area. Avoid machine washing, direct sunlight, or artificial heat sources, as these can damage the materials.
Do these sandals offer arch support?
The EVA footbed is designed to provide 'underfoot stability' and cushioning for comfort. While it offers general support, individuals requiring specific or high-level arch support may want to consider if the open design meets their needs.
Troubleshooting
Sandal feels too loose or too tight
Adjust the adhesive fastening straps across the top of your foot and the adjustable heel strap until you achieve a comfortable and secure fit. Test the fit by walking a short distance.
Foot slips inside the sandal during activity
Ensure all straps are securely fastened and your foot is dry. If the footbed feels slippery, clean it thoroughly with mild soap and water to remove any oils or dirt that may have accumulated.
Reduced grip or traction on surfaces
Check the lugged tread for any embedded debris such as small stones, mud, or twigs. Clean the tread thoroughly with a brush and water to restore optimal grip.
Unpleasant odor develops
Hand wash the sandals with mild soap and water, paying extra attention to the footbed. Ensure they are completely air-dried before wearing or storing. An antibacterial shoe spray designed for sandals can also help.

To maintain the longevity and performance of your Explore Camp Sandals:
- Cleaning: Hand wash the sandals using mild soap and cold water. Gently scrub any dirty areas with a soft brush or cloth. Avoid using harsh detergents or abrasive cleaners.
- Drying: Allow the sandals to air dry completely in a shaded, well-ventilated area. Do not place them in direct sunlight, near heaters, or in a tumble dryer, as extreme heat can damage the materials and adhesives.
