FAQs

Are these shoes waterproof?

The North Face Clyffe hiking shoes offer water resistance, suitable for moderate wet conditions. They are not fully waterproof and may not be ideal for prolonged exposure to heavy rain or submersion.

What type of terrain are these shoes best suited for?

These shoes are best suited for day hiking on established trails, including dirt, gravel, and moderate rocky terrain. They provide good traction and support for these conditions.

How do I determine the correct size?

Refer to the size chart provided by The North Face and compare with your UK foot measurement. This specific product is listed as UK 9.5.

Can I wear these shoes in cold weather?

While they offer a degree of protection, they are not insulated winter boots. They are suitable for cooler autumn or spring hikes but may require thermal socks for colder temperatures.

What is the recommended way to clean the shoes?

Use a soft brush to remove dry dirt. Clean with a damp cloth and mild soap for stubborn dirt. Allow them to air dry completely away from direct heat.

Do these shoes require a break-in period?

Like most hiking footwear, a short break-in period is recommended to allow the shoes to mold to your feet for optimal comfort and fit.

Troubleshooting

Shoes feel tight or cause discomfort.

Loosen the laces and re-tie, ensuring a snug but not overly tight fit. Consider wearing them for short periods initially to allow for break-in.

Reduced traction on wet surfaces.

The outsole is optimized for varied conditions; for very slick, wet surfaces, exercise caution. Ensure the outsole is free from mud or debris which can impair grip.

Upper material shows signs of wear.

Clean regularly and apply appropriate care products as recommended. Avoid exposing them to excessive abrasion or chemicals.

Care Instructions:

  • Cleaning: After use, remove loose dirt with a soft brush. For tougher grime, use a damp cloth and mild soap. Avoid harsh detergents.
  • Drying: Air dry shoes naturally at room temperature. Do not place them near direct heat sources like radiators or fires, as this can damage the materials.

  • Storage: Store in a cool, dry place when not in use to maintain material integrity.
