FAQs
Are these shoes suitable for hiking?
The Glenclyffe Low is designed for light trail use and provides good traction. However, for rugged, long-distance, or technical hiking, shoes with more ankle support and robust cushioning might be preferable.
What does 'Eco Friendly' mean for this product?
It indicates that a significant portion of the materials used in the construction of these shoes are recycled, contributing to more sustainable manufacturing practices.
How should I clean the "Sycamore Tnf Black" color?
Use a damp cloth with mild soap to clean the synthetic upper. Avoid harsh chemicals. Allow to air dry away from direct heat.
Is the sizing true to the UK size listed?
Generally, The North Face footwear aims for accurate sizing. It is recommended to check the brand's specific size chart or compare with previous The North Face shoes you own for best results.
Can these shoes be worn in wet conditions?
The VIBRAM® outsole provides good traction on various surfaces, including wet ones. However, the synthetic upper is not inherently waterproof, so they may not be suitable for prolonged submersion or heavy rain without additional waterproofing measures.
What is the main benefit of the EVA midsole?
The EVA midsole provides lightweight cushioning, which helps to absorb shock and reduce fatigue during wear, enhancing overall comfort.
Troubleshooting
Shoes feel too tight or uncomfortable
Ensure you have selected the correct UK size. Wear the shoes around the house for a short period to allow them to break in. If discomfort persists, they may not be the right fit for your foot shape.
Traction seems reduced on certain surfaces
Check the VIBRAM® outsole for embedded debris like mud, pebbles, or grit. Clean the sole thoroughly with water and a brush. Ensure the shoes are not excessively worn down.
Synthetic upper shows scuffs or marks
Use a damp cloth and mild soap to gently clean the affected area. For persistent marks, a specialized synthetic cleaner might be effective, but always test on an inconspicuous area first.
