FAQs
Are these shoes waterproof?
The North Face Clyffe is designed for general everyday wear and does not feature a specific waterproof membrane.
Can I replace the insoles?
Yes, the molded EVA sockliner is removable, allowing you to insert your own custom orthotics if preferred.
Are these suitable for long-distance hiking?
While the VIBRAM sole provides good traction, these are low-profile shoes meant for light activity rather than technical or long-distance hiking.
How should I clean the exterior?
Use a soft brush for dry dirt and a damp cloth with mild soap for spot cleaning. Do not submerge or machine wash.
What is the primary benefit of the VIBRAM outsole?
The VIBRAM Megagrip rubber provides superior traction and durability compared to standard rubber compounds.
Do these shoes run true to size?
The North Face generally follows standard sizing, though it is recommended to test the fit with the specific socks you intend to wear.
Troubleshooting
Laces coming undone frequently
Ensure you are using a double knot or checking that the laces are threaded through all eyelets evenly for better tension.
Accumulation of debris in the tread
Use a stiff brush to clear out pebbles or mud from the VIBRAM outsole pattern to maintain optimal grip.
Inner sockliner shifting
Remove the liner, ensure no debris is trapped underneath, and re-seat it flat inside the shoe.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure your The North Face Clyffe shoes provide optimal performance, follow these guidelines:
Setup and Fit
When trying on the shoes for the first time, utilize the lace-up closure to secure the midfoot while ensuring the heel remains locked in place without slipping.
Compatibility
These shoes are designed for adult males as a low-profile, daily-wear shoe. They are compatible with most standard orthotic insoles if you require additional arch support, as the stock EVA sockliner is removable.
Care Instructions
- Remove loose dirt and debris from the VIBRAM outsole using a soft-bristled brush.
- Wipe the upper material with a damp cloth and mild soap if needed.
- Air dry the shoes away from direct heat sources, such as radiators, to prevent material degradation.
- Avoid machine washing or drying, as this can compromise the adhesive bonds and structural integrity of the shoe.
