FAQs
Are The North Face Explore Camp Sandals suitable for hiking?
These sandals are designed for light walking and casual use, making them suitable for short, well-maintained trails and around camp. For heavy-duty hiking or very rugged terrain, a more protective and supportive hiking shoe is recommended.
Can I wear these sandals in water?
Yes, they are generally suitable for water-adjacent activities and can get wet. However, it's important to allow them to air dry completely afterward to maintain hygiene and extend their lifespan.
How do I clean my Explore Camp Sandals?
Clean them with mild soap and cold water using a soft brush or cloth. Rinse thoroughly and allow them to air dry completely in a shaded, well-ventilated area, away from direct heat.
Do these sandals offer arch support?
The single-density, moulded-EVA midsole provides stability and all-day comfort with a flat sole design. While it offers general underfoot support, specific anatomical arch support may vary based on individual foot type.
What is the toe cap made of?
The protective yet minimalist toe cap is made of EVA (Ethylene-vinyl acetate).
Are the straps adjustable for different foot widths?
Yes, the quick lace system allows adjustment of the instep volume, accommodating various foot widths and ensuring a customizable, secure fit for most users.
What kind of stability do these sandals provide?
The single-density, moulded-EVA midsole and flat sole design work together to provide reliable underfoot stability, making them comfortable for varied surfaces commonly found in camp or during casual outings.
Troubleshooting
Sandal feels too loose or too tight on my foot.
Adjust the quick lace system on the instep to control the volume over your foot. For the heel, tighten or loosen the hook-and-loop heel strap until you achieve a secure yet comfortable fit.
My foot slides around inside the sandal.
Ensure both the instep quick lace and the heel strap are cinched down properly and securely. If sliding persists, double-check that you have the correct sandal size for your foot.
The sandals have developed an odor.
Regularly clean your sandals with mild soap and water, paying attention to the footbed. Ensure they are thoroughly air-dried after cleaning and after any exposure to moisture to prevent odor-causing bacteria from growing.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup
Getting your Explore Camp Sandals ready for use is straightforward:
- Adjust Instep: Utilize the quick lace system on the top of the sandal. Pull the lace to tighten or loosen the fit over your instep, then secure it with the cord lock.
- Secure Heel: Fasten the hook-and-loop strap around your heel. Adjust it until your heel feels snug and secure without being overly tight.
- Test Fit: Walk a few steps to ensure the sandals feel comfortable and secure. Readjust if necessary.
Compatibility
- Activities: Ideal for camping, casual wear, light walking, post-activity relaxation, and water-adjacent activities. Not recommended for heavy hiking, technical mountaineering, or extreme sports where maximum foot protection and support are required.
- Terrain: Best suited for even surfaces, paved paths, grassy areas, and light, well-maintained trails. The flat sole and open design may not provide adequate grip or protection on very rugged, slippery, or debris-laden terrain.
Care
Proper care will extend the life and maintain the comfort of your sandals:
- Cleaning: Clean regularly with mild soap and cold water. Use a soft brush or cloth to gently scrub away dirt and debris. Avoid harsh chemicals or abrasive cleaners.
- Drying: Allow the sandals to air dry completely in a well-ventilated area, away from direct sunlight or artificial heat sources (like radiators or hair dryers). Excessive heat can damage the EVA material and adhesives.
- Storage: Store in a cool, dry place when not in use. Avoid prolonged exposure to direct sunlight, which can cause material degradation and discoloration.
