FAQs

Are The North Face Base Camp Slides waterproof?

The Base Camp Slides are designed to be water-resistant and perform well in wet environments like pool decks. However, they are not fully waterproof and are not intended for prolonged submersion.

Can I wear these for hiking or long walks?

These slides are primarily designed for casual wear, relaxation, and light use. For hiking or long-distance walking, footwear with more robust support, cushioning, and specific traction is recommended.

How do I clean my Base Camp Slides?

To clean, gently wipe the slides with a damp cloth and a mild soap solution. Allow them to air dry completely away from direct heat. Do not machine wash or tumble dry.

Do these slides offer arch support?

The Base Camp Slides feature a contoured footbed for comfort, but they offer moderate arch support typical of a slide. For significant arch support needs, specialized orthotic inserts or footwear may be required.

Are other colors and sizes available?

Yes, The North Face Base Camp Slides are available in various colorways, including Black and Blue, and come in a range of adult and kids' UK sizes to accommodate different preferences and foot sizes.

What materials are used in these slides?

The top strap is made from durable Polyester, providing a comfortable and secure fit. The outsole is constructed from tough rubber, designed for reliable traction and durability.

Troubleshooting

Slides feel too loose or too tight.

Ensure you have selected the correct UK size. While slides offer a relaxed fit, a significant size mismatch can affect comfort. Consider trying a half size up or down if possible.

My feet are slipping inside the slides.

This can happen if your feet are wet or sweaty. Ensure your feet are dry before wearing. If the issue persists, clean the footbed to remove any oils or residue that might reduce grip.

The slides are developing an odor.

Regularly clean the slides, especially the footbed, using a damp cloth and mild soap. Ensure they are fully air-dried after cleaning and wearing, as moisture can contribute to odor.

The outsole is losing grip.

Check the outsole for excessive wear or accumulation of dirt/debris. Clean the tread patterns thoroughly with a brush and water. If the sole is heavily worn, its traction capabilities may naturally diminish over time.

Care Instructions

To ensure the longevity and freshness of your Base Camp Slides, follow these simple care steps:

  1. Spot Clean: Use a soft, damp cloth with a small amount of mild soap to gently wipe away any dirt or stains.
  2. Rinse Lightly: If soap is used, wipe with a clean, damp cloth to remove any residue.
  3. Air Dry: Allow the slides to air dry completely in a well-ventilated area, away from direct sunlight or heat sources.
  4. Avoid Submersion: Do not machine wash, tumble dry, or submerge the slides in water for extended periods.
