FAQs
Are these shoes waterproof?
The Clyffe is designed for durability and traction; however, it is not explicitly marketed as waterproof. Consider a spray-on repellent if you expect wet conditions.
Are these good for long-distance hiking?
They are designed for light hiking and daily wear. For technical, multi-day mountain expeditions, consider a dedicated high-cut boot.
How do I determine my size?
The North Face sizing typically follows standard UK sizing. Ensure you leave a small gap at the toe for comfort during downhill walking.
Can I replace the insoles?
Yes, the molded EVA footbed can be removed to accommodate custom orthotics if required.
What is the primary benefit of the Vibram sole?
The Vibram Megagrip compound is world-renowned for its ability to maintain traction on slippery or uneven surfaces.
Troubleshooting
Laces coming undone during activity
Use a double knot or replace with technical non-slip laces.
Accumulated dirt on the outsole reducing grip
Use a stiff brush and warm water to remove debris from the deep treads.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure your Clyffe shoes last, ensure you are wearing the correct UK size, as the fit is engineered to be snug for performance stability. For care, keep the Vibram outsoles clean by rinsing off mud after hiking to maintain their non-slip properties. If the uppers get dirty, wipe them down with a damp cloth and mild soap; avoid machine washing to maintain the integrity of the materials. Air dry away from direct heat sources, such as radiators, which can warp the EVA footbed and damage the adhesives.
