FAQs
Are these slides suitable for swimming or extensive water exposure?
While the materials can get wet, these slides are not designed for prolonged submersion or optimal grip in wet environments. They are best for poolside lounging or brief exposure to water.
How do I choose the correct size?
The Base Camp Slide III follows standard UK adult footwear sizing. We recommend selecting your usual shoe size. If you are typically between sizes, consider opting for the larger size for maximum comfort.
Can I wear these slides with socks?
Yes, the comfortable wraparound strap design allows for easy and comfortable wear with or without socks, depending on your preference and weather conditions.
What makes these slides so lightweight?
The primary reason for their light weight is the unique density EVA foam used in both the midsole and outsole. This material provides excellent cushioning without adding bulk.
Are the recycled materials durable?
Yes, The North Face utilizes high-quality recycled PET mesh for the strap and recycled polyester for the lining. These materials are chosen for their durability and performance, ensuring the slides maintain their integrity during regular casual use.
Are these slides suitable for individuals with specific foot conditions?
The Base Camp Slide III offers general comfort and cushioning. For specific foot conditions or needs requiring specialized support, we recommend consulting a podiatrist or healthcare professional, as these slides offer limited built-in arch support.
Troubleshooting
Slides feel slippery on wet surfaces.
Exercise caution when walking on wet or very smooth surfaces. While the slides are comfortable, their sole pattern is optimized for casual use, not high-traction performance in slick conditions. Walk slowly and be aware of your surroundings.
Straps feel too tight or loose initially.
The wraparound straps are designed to offer a secure fit. Allow for a short break-in period; the materials may conform more to your foot shape with wear. Ensure you have the correct size for optimal comfort.
Foot odor develops after extended wear.
Regularly clean your slides, especially the strap lining, with mild soap and water. Ensure they are thoroughly air-dried after each cleaning or if they get wet from use. Consider wearing socks if persistent odor is an issue.

Care
To maintain the longevity and appearance of your slides, follow these simple care instructions:
- Cleaning: Wipe down the straps and foam sole with a soft, damp cloth. For tougher spots, use a mild soap solution. Gently rub the affected area.

- Drying: Allow the slides to air dry completely in a shaded, well-ventilated area. Avoid direct sunlight or artificial heat sources, as this can damage the EVA foam and strap materials.
