FAQs
Are these shoes suitable for long-distance hiking?
Yes, the North Face Clyffe shoes are designed for hiking and trekking. They offer good support and comfort for long distances, especially after they have been broken in.
How do I determine the correct UK size?
The sizing is listed in UK men's sizes. It is recommended to try them on if possible or consult a size conversion chart if you are unsure of your UK size.
Can these shoes be used in rainy weather?
The Clyffe shoes offer water-resistant features, making them suitable for moderate rain. For prolonged exposure to heavy rain, consider using additional waterproofing treatments or gaiters.
What type of terrain are these best suited for?
These shoes are best suited for general hiking trails, including woodland paths, gravel, and moderate rocky terrain. They provide good traction and stability on most common outdoor surfaces.
Do I need to waterproof these shoes myself?
The shoes come with a degree of water resistance. For optimal performance and longevity, especially in wet conditions, applying a suitable waterproofing spray periodically is recommended.
How often should I clean my hiking shoes?
It's best to clean your hiking shoes after each significant use to remove dirt and debris. This helps maintain their performance and extends their lifespan.
Troubleshooting
Shoes feel too tight or stiff
Wear the shoes for short periods indoors to allow them to break in. Consider using thicker hiking socks during the break-in phase.
Reduced traction on wet surfaces
Ensure the outsole is clean from mud or debris. Reapply a suitable waterproofing spray if the water-resistant treatment has worn off.
Laces come undone frequently
Tie the laces securely, ensuring a double knot. Consider replacing the laces with a pair that has better grip.
Feet feel damp after a hike
Ensure the shoes are properly dried after each use. Consider wearing moisture-wicking hiking socks and check if the waterproofing treatment needs renewal.
