FAQs
Are these shoes suitable for running?
The North Face Explore Camp trainers are designed for general walking, light outdoor exploration, and everyday comfort. While they offer a lightweight feel and good support, they are not specialized running shoes for high-impact or long-distance running.
Can I wear these shoes in wet weather?
These trainers are not specifically waterproof. While they can handle light splashes, prolonged exposure to heavy rain or standing water may result in wet feet. We recommend avoiding deep puddles or very wet conditions if dryness is a priority.
How do I clean the EVA footbed?
The EVA footbed can be cleaned by wiping it with a damp cloth and mild soap. Allow it to air dry completely before reinserting it into the shoe to prevent moisture buildup and odors.
Do these shoes fit true to size?
Generally, The North Face footwear is designed to fit true to size. However, foot shape can vary. We recommend trying them on to ensure the best fit, especially considering the anatomical arch support.
What kind of socks should I wear with these trainers?
For optimal comfort and to manage moisture, we recommend wearing athletic socks made from breathable materials like moisture-wicking synthetics or merino wool. Cotton socks can trap moisture and increase friction.
Are these suitable for travel?
Yes, their lightweight design and versatile outsole make them an excellent choice for travel, especially for exploring cities or light outdoor environments where comfort and easy packing are important.
Troubleshooting
Shoes feel too tight or uncomfortable
Ensure you have the correct size. Try adjusting the lacing to relieve pressure points. If discomfort persists, consider wearing thinner socks or checking for proper arch alignment.
Shoes are squeaking when I walk
Squeaking can sometimes be caused by moisture trapped inside the shoe or between layers of the sole. Try airing them out thoroughly. If the sound persists, a small amount of baby powder under the insole can sometimes help.
Slipping on wet surfaces
While the rubber outsole is versatile, no shoe is entirely slip-proof on all wet or icy surfaces. Exercise caution and adjust your stride. The outsole is optimized for general versatility, not extreme specialized grip.
Unpleasant odor from the shoes
Regularly air out your shoes after use. Consider using shoe deodorizers, cedar inserts, or baking soda to absorb moisture and neutralize odors. Ensure socks are clean and breathable.
Upper material appears worn or scuffed quickly
The upper material is designed for durability but can still show wear with abrasive contact. Clean scuffs gently with a damp cloth. Avoid dragging your feet or rubbing against rough surfaces to prolong their appearance.

Setting up your The North Face Explore Camp trainers simply involves lacing them up to a comfortable fit. Ensure laces are snug but not too tight to allow for natural foot movement. These trainers are compatible with a wide range of casual and active wear, including jeans, shorts, athletic pants, and outdoor apparel. They are designed for general everyday use, light outdoor exploration, and travel. For care, regularly clean the trainers to maintain their appearance and longevity. Wipe down the rubber outsole and EVA footbed with a damp cloth to remove dirt and debris. For the upper material, use a soft brush or cloth with mild soap and water, then air dry away from direct heat. Avoid machine washing or harsh chemical cleaners, as these can damage the materials and construction. Storing them in a cool, dry place when not in use will also help preserve their quality.
