FAQs

Are these shoes waterproof?

The Glenclyffe trainers are designed for protection and durability but do not feature a waterproof membrane; they are best for dry or mildly damp urban conditions.

Are these suitable for long-distance hiking?

No, these are urban trainers inspired by the Summit Series. They are designed for city pavements rather than off-trail hiking.

How should I clean the rubber toe cap?

Wipe the rubber toe cap with a damp cloth and mild soap if necessary to remove stains or scuffs.

Do these come in different widths?

The North Face Glenclyffe trainers are manufactured in a standard unisex width.

Can I replace the insoles?

Yes, the insoles are removable if you need to insert your own custom orthotics.

Troubleshooting

Outer sole traction feels reduced

Clean the outsole with a soft brush and warm water to remove embedded grit or debris that may interfere with the rubber grip.

Material shows scuffing

Use a specialized cleaner for synthetic materials and a soft-bristled brush to gently buff away surface marks.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

These trainers come ready for immediate wear. To ensure longevity, follow these care guidelines:

  1. Cleaning: Wipe off mud or debris with a damp cloth after use. Avoid submerging in water.
  2. Drying: Air dry away from direct heat sources, such as radiators, which can warp materials.

  4. Compatibility: These shoes pair well with technical trousers, jeans, and activewear, given their versatile silhouette.
