Product Information

Full details

The North Face Glenclyffe Low "TNF Black Anthracite" is designed for adults seeking a versatile sneaker that blends outdoor durability with everyday comfort. Its key benefit is providing a secure, adaptable fit for urban and light off-road use. A potential caveat is its suitability primarily for cold winter days and functional wear, rather than high-performance athletic activities. This shoe features a modern, minimalist design with a flexible synthetic upper, a speed lacing system, VIBRAM® technology, and an EVA insole for cushioning and traction. It is also partially made from recycled materials.

FAQs

Are these shoes waterproof?

The description does not specify waterproofing. The synthetic upper may offer some resistance to light moisture, but they are not designed as waterproof boots.

Can I wear these for running?

These shoes are designed for everyday wear and light outdoor activities, not for high-impact running. The low-profile construction and cushioning are optimized for comfort and traction on varied surfaces, not for the demands of running.

How do I adjust the speed lacing system?

To tighten, pull the lace ends while ensuring the lock is engaged. To loosen, disengage the lock and pull on the lace loop or desired section.

What does 'partially made from recycled materials' mean?

It indicates that some components of the shoe, such as parts of the upper or sole, are made using recycled content, contributing to a more sustainable manufacturing process.

How should I store these shoes when not in use?

Store them in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight. It's advisable to keep them in a breathable bag or their original box to protect them from dust and potential damage.

Are these suitable for hiking?

They are suitable for light hiking on well-maintained trails due to their VIBRAM® sole and cushioning. For rugged, uneven, or technical terrain, more specialized hiking boots with ankle support would be recommended.

What is the primary benefit of the low-profile construction?

The low-profile construction enhances freedom of movement and provides a sleek, modern aesthetic, making them ideal for urban environments and activities where agility is beneficial.

Troubleshooting

Laces feel too tight or too loose.

Adjust the tension of the speed lacing system by pulling or loosening the cord. Ensure the lock mechanism is engaged or disengaged properly as needed.

Traction feels reduced on wet surfaces.

Ensure the VIBRAM® sole is clean and free of mud, oil, or other debris that could compromise grip. Check the sole for excessive wear.

Insole feels uncomfortable or misplaced.

Remove the insole and re-insert it, ensuring it lies flat and is properly positioned within the shoe. If discomfort persists, consider a different insole.

Synthetic upper shows scuffs or marks.

Use a damp cloth and a mild soap solution to gently clean the affected area. Test any cleaning solution on an inconspicuous spot first.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup:

These shoes require no assembly. They are ready to wear straight out of the box. Adjust the speed lacing system for a snug, comfortable fit.

Compatibility:

Designed for adult wear, these low shoes are compatible with most casual outfits. They fit well within Gorpcore and Workwear aesthetics. While suitable for light trails, they are best paired with appropriate outdoor wear for colder conditions.

Care:

  • Cleaning the Upper: Wipe the synthetic upper with a damp cloth to remove dirt. For tougher stains, a mild soap solution can be used. Avoid harsh chemicals or abrasive cleaners.
  • Insole: The EVA insole can typically be removed for spot cleaning. Allow it to air dry completely.
  • Sole: Clean the VIBRAM® sole with a brush to remove any debris. Check for any embedded stones or mud.
  • Drying: Always air dry the shoes. Do not place them near direct heat sources like radiators or in a tumble dryer, as this can damage the materials.
