FAQs

Are these slides suitable for long walks or hiking?

The Base Camp Slide III is primarily designed for comfort in casual, everyday wear and post-activity recovery. While comfortable for short strolls, for prolonged walking or extensive hiking, we recommend footwear with more structured support and secure strapping, as slides offer limited foot stability.

Can I wear The North Face Base Camp Slide III in the water?

Yes, the durable traction outsole offers reliable grip, making them suitable for poolside or beach environments where they might get wet. However, they are not designed to be submerged for extended periods. Always allow them to air dry completely after getting wet to maintain their condition.

How do I choose the right size for these slides?

These slides are available in UK adult sizes. It's best to select your usual UK shoe size. If you are typically between sizes, for slides, many users find it more comfortable to size up to ensure a relaxed fit.

What materials are used in the construction of these slides?

The Base Camp Slide III features a soft heathered fabric upper for comfort and a robust design that includes a durable traction outsole, providing reliable grip and stability.

What is the best way to clean my Base Camp Slides?

To clean your slides, gently wipe them with a damp cloth using mild soap. Avoid harsh chemicals. Do not machine wash or tumble dry. Always allow them to air dry completely away from direct heat or sunlight.

Are these slides unisex or gender-specific?

This specific variant (Blue, UK 13) is categorized as 'Male'. However, the design of slide sandals often has a versatile aesthetic that can be comfortably worn by anyone, depending on individual preference and fit.

Troubleshooting

Slides feel too loose or too tight.

Ensure you have selected the correct size. Footwear fit can vary, so it's always recommended to try them on or consult a standard UK shoe sizing guide if available. If unsure, consider exchanging for a different size.

Slipping on wet surfaces despite traction outsole.

While designed with a durable traction outsole for grip, extreme wet, soapy, or excessively smooth surfaces can still pose a slipping risk. Always exercise caution on very wet or uneven ground. The outsole provides optimal grip on typical wet areas like pool decks, but not on ice or highly polished wet floors.

An unpleasant odor develops after use.

Odors can develop from prolonged wear, especially if feet sweat. Regularly clean the slides according to the care instructions. Allow them to air out completely after each use, especially if they become damp from sweat or water. You can also use shoe deodorizers specifically designed for footwear.

The fabric upper causes slight irritation to my foot.

New footwear can sometimes feel stiff initially. Ensure the slides are worn with clean feet. If irritation persists, try wearing them for shorter periods initially to allow your feet to adjust and the fabric to soften. For sensitive skin, wearing thin socks for the first few wears might help.

Care Instructions

To maintain the comfort and durability of your Base Camp Slide III, follow these care guidelines:

  1. Cleaning: Gently wipe the slides clean with a damp cloth using a mild soap. Avoid using harsh chemical cleaners, as they can damage the fabric or outsole materials.
  2. Drying: After cleaning or if they get wet from use (e.g., at the pool), allow the slides to air dry completely. Place them in a well-ventilated area away from direct sunlight or extreme heat sources (like radiators or tumble dryers), which can cause material degradation.
  3. Storage: When not in use, store your slides in a cool, dry place to prevent moisture buildup and maintain their shape.
  4. Avoid Machine Washing: Do not machine wash or tumble dry, as this can severely damage the integrity and materials of the slides.
