FAQs
Are these shoes waterproof?
While the materials are durable, they are not explicitly marketed as waterproof. They are water-resistant but should be treated with a protective spray if used in heavy rain.
Can I use these for long-distance hiking?
The Glenclyffe is intended for urban and light trail use. For technical, long-distance mountain hiking, look at The North Face's dedicated hiking boots.
Are these shoes unisex?
Yes, the Glenclyffe series is designed to be unisex, meaning the sizing and build are intended to fit a broad range of foot shapes.
How do I determine my size?
The North Face sizing generally follows standard UK trainer sizing. We recommend referencing the brand's specific size chart to compare your foot measurement to the UK sizing provided.
Are the insoles removable?
Yes, the insoles are removable, allowing for the use of custom orthotics if required.
Troubleshooting
Slippage on loose gravel
These trainers are designed for pavement; for loose trail terrain, consider a dedicated hiking shoe from the Summit Series.
Difficulty putting on the shoe
Loosen the lacing system entirely from the bottom eyelets upward to ensure proper volume before sliding your foot in.
Visible scuffs on rubber toe
Use a specialized rubber cleaner or a pencil eraser to gently lift minor scuff marks from the toe cap.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure the longevity of your Glenclyffe trainers, follow these guidelines:
- Fitting: Ensure you wear the type of socks you intend to use daily when trying them on to verify the fit.
- Cleaning: Use a soft-bristled brush to remove dried mud or surface dirt. For deeper cleaning, use a damp cloth with mild, non-detergent soap. Avoid submerging the shoes in water.
- Drying: Air dry the shoes in a well-ventilated area away from direct heat sources like radiators, which can warp materials or degrade adhesives.
- Storage: Keep in a cool, dry place and avoid leaving them in direct sunlight for extended periods to prevent material fading.
