FAQs

Are these sandals suitable for hiking?

The Explore Camp Shandal is best suited for light trails, casual walks, and around camp. For rugged, technical, or extended hikes, a more supportive and protective closed-toe hiking shoe is recommended.

Can I wear these sandals in water?

Yes, these shandals are designed with quick-drying materials and a traction outsole, making them suitable for use in and around water, such as at the beach or during stream crossings. Just be sure to air dry them completely afterward.

How do I clean my North Face Camp Shandals?

Hand wash with cold water and a mild soap. Use a soft brush to clean the footbed and straps. Rinse thoroughly and allow them to air dry completely in a shaded, well-ventilated area, away from direct heat or sunlight.

How do I choose the correct size?

Select your standard UK adult foot size. The adjustable straps allow for a customizable and secure fit to accommodate various foot widths and preferences. If you are typically between sizes, consider trying the next size up for comfort.

What kind of terrain are these sandals best for?

They are ideal for paved paths, boardwalks, grassy areas, beaches, and light, non-technical dirt trails. Avoid sharp, rocky terrain, deep mud, or areas requiring significant ankle support.

Troubleshooting

Sandal feels loose or uncomfortable after initial adjustment.

Re-adjust all three straps (forefoot, midfoot, ankle) while standing. Ensure the straps are not twisted and provide an even, secure fit without pinching. You may need to fine-tune adjustments after a short walk.

Slipping more than expected on wet surfaces.

While designed for traction, no footwear is slip-proof on all wet surfaces. Exercise extra caution on extremely slick, algae-covered, or muddy terrain. Regularly clean the outsole to remove any embedded debris that might reduce grip.

Sandal develops an odor after extended use or water exposure.

This is often caused by bacteria. Thoroughly wash the shandals with mild soap and water, paying close attention to the footbed. Rinse well and ensure they are completely air-dried in a well-ventilated area before storing. Consider using an odor-eliminating spray designed for footwear.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup

  1. Adjust Straps: Before your first use, put on the shandal and adjust all hook-and-loop straps (forefoot, midfoot, and ankle) until you achieve a snug, comfortable fit. The shandal should feel secure without being too tight or causing pressure points.
  2. Walk Test: Take a few steps to ensure the fit is correct and your foot doesn't slide around within the shandal.

Compatibility

  • Socks: Can be worn with lightweight socks for added warmth or to prevent blisters, especially on longer walks.
  • Terrain: Best suited for light outdoor environments, casual urban settings, and wet conditions. Not recommended for technical climbing or heavy-duty hiking.

Care Instructions

  • Cleaning: After use, especially in dirty or sandy conditions, rinse the shandals thoroughly with cool water. For deeper cleaning, use a mild soap and a soft brush to gently scrub the footbed and straps. Avoid harsh detergents.
  • Drying: Air dry your shandals completely in a well-ventilated area, away from direct sunlight or artificial heat sources. Ensure they are fully dry before storage to prevent odor and material degradation.
  • Storage: Store in a cool, dry place when not in use. Avoid prolonged exposure to extreme temperatures.
  • Inspection: Regularly inspect the straps, buckles, and outsole for signs of wear and tear. Address any issues promptly to extend the life of your shandal.
