FAQs
Are these trainers waterproof?
The 'WP' in the product name typically signifies 'Waterproof'. These trainers are designed to offer protection against water, making them suitable for wet conditions.
What is the best way to break in these hiking trainers?
Start by wearing them for short periods indoors. Gradually increase the duration and wear them on shorter walks before embarking on longer hikes. Ensure the lacing is adjusted for comfort.
Can I wear these for everyday casual use?
While comfortable, their design is optimized for hiking. For general everyday wear, you might find other trainer styles more suitable, but they can certainly be worn casually if preferred.
How do I determine my correct UK shoe size?
Refer to The North Face's official sizing chart or compare with a well-fitting pair of your current trainers. Ensure you measure your foot length accurately.
What kind of socks are recommended with these trainers?
Moisture-wicking hiking socks made from synthetic materials or merino wool are recommended to enhance comfort and prevent blisters during hikes.
What terrain are these trainers best suited for?
These trainers are best suited for moderate hiking trails, including paths, woodland, and rocky terrain where stability and grip are important.
Troubleshooting
Traction seems reduced on wet surfaces.
Ensure the textured grip tread is free from mud or debris. Clean the soles with water and a brush. For significantly worn tread, consider replacement.
Discomfort after a long walk.
Verify the lacing is adjusted correctly for a snug but not overly tight fit. Ensure the correct size has been selected. Consider wearing appropriate hiking socks.
Materials appear worn after initial use.
Check for proper care and cleaning methods. The reinforced toe cap and mud guard are designed to protect against wear, but consistent rough use will naturally show signs over time.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup: These trainers require no specific setup. Ensure you have selected the correct UK size before purchasing.
Compatibility: Designed as hiking trainers, they are best suited for outdoor activities such as walking, hiking, and trail exploration. They are compatible with standard outdoor clothing and gear.
Care:
- Cleaning: Remove loose dirt and mud with a dry brush. For tougher stains, use a damp cloth and mild soap. Avoid harsh chemicals or abrasive cleaners.
- Drying: Allow the trainers to air dry naturally at room temperature. Do not expose them to direct heat sources like radiators or hairdryers, as this can damage the materials.
- Storage: Store in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight when not in use. Consider using shoe trees to maintain their shape.
