FAQs
Are these shoes waterproof?
The Glenclyffe Trainers feature weather-resistant synthetic materials, meaning they can handle light splashes and damp conditions, but they are not fully waterproof.
Can I use these for long-distance hiking?
They are best suited for light trails and urban environments. For extreme, multi-day technical hikes, we recommend dedicated hiking boots.
How do I clean the synthetic upper?
Use a soft brush to remove surface dirt and a damp cloth for deeper spots. Avoid machine washing.
Is the EVA insole removable?
Yes, the EVA insole is designed to be removable if you need to insert custom orthotics or replace it after significant wear.
Do these fit true to size?
They generally follow standard sizing; however, since they use a speed lacing system, we recommend trying them on with the socks you plan to wear most frequently.
Troubleshooting
Lace toggle keeps slipping
Check the toggle mechanism for dirt or grit that might be obstructing the internal spring; rinse with water and let dry.
Outsole loses traction
Use a stiff brush to remove compacted mud or small pebbles lodged in the VIBRAM lug pattern.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure your Glenclyffe Trainers last, perform regular maintenance. After muddy excursions, allow the shoes to dry naturally at room temperature, away from direct heat sources like radiators, which can warp synthetic materials. Use a soft-bristled brush to remove dried debris from the outsole lugs to maintain traction. For the upper, a simple wipe-down with a damp cloth is generally sufficient; if the shoes become heavily soiled, use a mild technical footwear cleaner rather than standard laundry detergent. Ensure the speed lacing toggle is fully depressed before pulling the cord to avoid excessive wear on the lacing system.
