FAQs
Are these trainers waterproof?
The Glenclyffe trainers are designed for versatility and protection but are not marketed as fully waterproof. They handle light moisture well but should not be submerged.
Can I use these for hiking?
While they feature technical design elements from the Summit Series, they are optimized for urban pavements and light city trails rather than technical mountain hikes.
Are these unisex?
Yes, the Glenclyffe series is designed as unisex, offering a versatile fit for adult users across various sizes.
How do I determine my size?
These trainers follow standard adult sizing. It is recommended to choose your usual athletic footwear size, or consult a size conversion chart if transitioning from other brands.
What is the primary benefit of the Vibram sole?
The Vibram XS Trek outsole is specifically engineered to provide an optimal balance of traction and durability on diverse urban surfaces.
How should I clean the rubber toe cap?
The rubber toe cap is durable and can be wiped down easily with a damp cloth to remove scuffs and dirt.
Troubleshooting
Outer sole shows buildup of city grime
Use a warm, soapy cloth and a soft brush to scrub the Vibram treads, ensuring all pebbles and debris are removed to restore grip.
Foot feels slightly loose or slippage occurs
Ensure the laces are tightened firmly through all eyelets. Consider utilizing the top eyelets for a 'runner's lock' to further secure the heel.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure your Glenclyffe trainers maintain their performance, store them in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight when not in use. For cleaning, use a soft-bristled brush to remove dried mud or debris from the outsole. If the upper becomes soiled, gently wipe it with a damp cloth and a mild soap solution; avoid soaking the materials or placing them in a washing machine, as this can degrade the specialized bonding agents and support structures. Check the sizing carefully, as the unisex fit is designed to accommodate various foot widths, but you may find it helpful to wear your preferred thickness of sock to achieve the ideal personalized fit.
