Setup, Compatibility & Care
Because the Glenclyffe utilizes technical materials, proper maintenance ensures longevity. Always ensure the laces are adjusted to your specific foot volume to engage the support system correctly. To clean, remove loose dirt with a soft brush and use a damp cloth with mild soap for localized stains; avoid machine washing as this can compromise the integrity of the toe cap bonding and the outsole adhesive. Air dry at room temperature away from direct heat sources like radiators to prevent material cracking.
