FAQs

Are The North Face Base Camp Slide III slides waterproof?

No, the soft heathered fabric upper is not waterproof and will absorb water. While the outsole provides traction on damp surfaces, these slides are not designed to be submerged or worn in heavy rain.

Can I wear these slides for hiking or sports?

These slides are designed for casual comfort and recovery, not for hiking, running, or high-impact sports. They lack the necessary support, stability, and protection for such activities.

How do I choose the correct size?

The North Face Base Camp Slide III comes in standard UK adult and some kids' sizes. We recommend selecting your usual shoe size. If you are between sizes, consider trying the next half-size up for a more comfortable fit, especially if you prefer a looser slide.

What is the material of the upper?

The upper is made from a soft heathered fabric, providing a comfortable and breathable feel.

Are these slides suitable for both men and women?

Yes, The North Face Base Camp Slide III features a unisex design, making them suitable and comfortable for both men and women.

Do these slides offer arch support?

Like most slide sandals, The North Face Base Camp Slide III provides minimal arch support. They are primarily designed for cushioning and comfort for casual wear rather than orthopedic support.

Troubleshooting

Slides feel too loose or too tight.

Ensure you have selected the correct UK size. While unisex, individual foot shapes vary. If possible, try different sizes or a half-size up/down.

Outsole seems slippery on certain surfaces.

While designed for traction, no footwear is slip-proof on all surfaces. Ensure the outsole is clean and free of debris. Exercise caution on extremely wet, oily, or icy surfaces.

Fabric upper develops an odor.

This can occur with fabric footwear, especially if worn frequently without airing. Clean the upper as per care instructions, and allow the slides to air dry thoroughly after each use. Consider using an odor-eliminating spray or baking soda.

Discomfort or rubbing on the foot.

Verify the correct size. If new, wear them for short periods initially to allow the material to conform to your foot. If discomfort persists, check for any stitching or material irregularities.

Compatibility

Care Instructions

Proper care will extend the life and maintain the comfort of your slides:

  1. Cleaning the Upper: For the soft heathered fabric upper, gently wipe with a damp cloth using a mild soap solution. Avoid harsh chemicals or abrasive cleaners.
  2. Cleaning the Outsole: Use a brush or damp cloth to remove any dirt or debris from the durable traction outsole. For stubborn grime, a little mild soap can be used.
  3. Drying: Allow the slides to air dry completely at room temperature, away from direct heat sources (like radiators or direct sunlight), which can damage materials.
  4. Odor Control: To prevent odor buildup, ensure the slides are fully dry after use and air them out regularly. Consider using foot powders or odor-absorbing inserts if needed.
  5. Storage: Store them in a cool, dry place when not in use.
