FAQs

How do I clean my Base Camp Slide III?

Wipe them down with a damp cloth and a small amount of mild soap. Avoid harsh chemicals. Allow them to air dry completely away from direct heat.

Are these slides waterproof?

While the EVA foam and polyester materials are water-resistant and can handle splashes, they are not designed to be fully waterproof or submerged for extended periods. They will dry quickly if they get wet.

Can I use these slides for hiking or sports?

No, these slides are designed for casual wear and recovery, not for demanding activities like hiking, running, or active sports, as they do not offer adequate support or protection.

What are the straps made of?

The TPU strap is made from PET mesh with 5% recycled content, and the lining is 100% recycled polyester, ensuring durability and comfort.

Are they true to size?

The North Face generally aims for true-to-size fit. We recommend ordering your usual UK shoe size for slides. Info needed: [For specific fit advice, refer to a size chart or try them on if possible.]

Do these slides offer arch support?

The single-density EVA foam midsole provides basic cushioning and comfort. It offers a moderate level of support suitable for casual wear, but it is not a highly structured orthopedic arch support.

Troubleshooting

Slides feel uncomfortable or rub.

Ensure you have the correct size. While the straps are designed for comfort, new slides may require a short break-in period. Check for any debris trapped under the strap.

Foot slipping within the slide.

This can happen if your feet are wet or sweaty. Ensure your feet are dry before wearing. If the sole is worn smooth, this may reduce grip, indicating it's time for replacement.

Slides develop an odor.

Clean the slides regularly using mild soap and water, paying attention to the footbed and straps. Allow them to air dry completely. Consider using an anti-bacterial spray designed for footwear.

Sole feels less cushioned over time.

EVA foam can compress slightly with prolonged use. This is normal wear and tear. Ensure you are not exposing them to extreme heat, which can degrade the foam faster.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Exceptional Comfort: The EVA foam and soft straps provide a very comfortable wearing experience.
  • Lightweight: Easy to wear for extended periods without feeling heavy.
  • Durable Materials: Constructed with high-quality, long-lasting components.
  • Sustainable Elements: Incorporates recycled materials in its design.
  • Versatile Casual Use: Perfect for post-sport recovery, lounging, or light errands.

Cons

  • Limited Protection: Open slide design offers minimal protection from elements or rough surfaces.
  • Not for Rigorous Activity: Not suitable for hiking, running, or demanding outdoor activities.
  • Specific Sizing: This particular variant is a men's UK size 13, limiting universal fit.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup:

No assembly or complex setup required. Simply unbox and slide them on.

Compatibility:

  • Footwear: Compatible with bare feet or light socks.
  • Use Cases: Best suited for casual wear, indoor lounging, post-sport recovery, light outdoor activities (e.g., walking to the mailbox, short strolls), and around water (poolside, beach).
  • Terrain: Designed for flat, even surfaces. Avoid rocky, uneven, or slippery terrain.

Care Instructions:

  1. Cleaning: For general cleaning, wipe down the straps and sole with a damp cloth and mild soap. Do not submerge completely in water.
  2. Drying: Allow the slides to air dry naturally, away from direct heat or sunlight, which can damage the EVA foam.
  3. Storage: Store in a cool, dry place when not in use. Avoid prolonged exposure to extreme temperatures.
  4. Strap Care: Regularly check the straps for any signs of wear or fraying. The polyester lining can be gently brushed if needed to remove debris.
  5. Odor Prevention: If odors develop, wash the slides as described above and ensure they are thoroughly dry before wearing again. You can also use a shoe deodorizer if necessary.
