Full details

The North Face Glenclyffe boots are designed for urban explorers who want the technical benefits of climbing footwear in a stylish city-ready package. Combining a premium water-repellent leather upper with advanced grip technology, they offer exceptional stability and traction for daily commuting or light outdoor adventure. While these boots excel in versatility, users should note that the technical construction emphasizes a precise, locked-in fit which may require a short break-in period compared to casual sneakers.

FAQs

Are these boots fully waterproof?

The upper is crafted from water-repellent leather, which effectively protects against light rain and splashes, but they are not categorized as fully seam-sealed waterproof boots.

Are the Glenclyffe boots suitable for hiking?

They are designed for urban exploration and approach-style activity, making them excellent for light trails, but they are not intended for heavy-duty backpacking or mountaineering.

How do I ensure I get the right size?

The Glenclyffe series features a precise fit. We recommend checking your UK size against our size guide and considering if you prefer extra room for thicker socks.

Can I replace the insoles?

Yes, the insoles are removable and can be replaced with custom orthotics if you require specific arch support.

What is the primary function of the TPU heel cage?

The TPU heel cage is designed to add stability to every step by keeping your heel firmly positioned and reducing lateral movement within the boot.

Troubleshooting

Boots feel too stiff upon first wear

Wear them indoors for a few hours at a time with thick socks to gently soften the leather and break in the footbed.

Accumulation of mud in the outsole lugs

Use a stiff plastic brush or a pressurized water spray to clear out the gaps between the 6 mm lugs to maintain maximum traction.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Excellent traction on slick city surfaces
  • Durable water-repellent leather construction
  • Secure and stable heel lock-in
  • Stylish aesthetic that bridges the gap between technical gear and urban wear

Cons

  • May require a break-in period for optimal comfort
  • Not intended for heavy-duty alpine mountaineering
  • Limited colorways compared to standard casual shoes

Setup, Compatibility & Care

To achieve the best fit, ensure you lace the rust-proof metal eyelets firmly to utilize the intended 'locked-in' feel of the boot's design. Because the boots feature a water-repellent leather upper, they are compatible with most standard weatherproofing sprays, though it is recommended to test a small, inconspicuous area first.

Care instructions:

  1. Wipe off dirt and debris with a soft-bristled brush after use.
  2. Clean the leather surface using a damp cloth; avoid harsh detergents that may strip the water-repellent treatment.
  3. Allow the boots to air dry naturally away from direct heat sources, such as radiators, to prevent the leather from cracking.
  4. Use a dedicated leather conditioner periodically to maintain the material's suppleness.
