Can I use these for hiking?

Troubleshooting
Accumulated dirt on the outsole
Use a stiff brush under running water to clear the tread patterns and regain grip.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure the longevity of your Glenclyffe Trainers, it is recommended to break them in with short walks before committing to all-day wear. Compatibility is universal across most casual outfits due to the neutral brown tone. For care, keep the exterior clean by brushing off loose dirt after each use. If the shoes become soiled, use a damp cloth with mild soap to wipe the synthetic and rubber surfaces. Avoid submerging the trainers in water or putting them in a tumble dryer, as heat can compromise the adhesive bonds and material integrity. Allow them to air dry naturally away from direct sunlight.
