Questions, answered

Before you buy.

Pulled from chats, emails and store visits. The things people actually ask us before they buy. Don't see yours?

Ask a question
Do these run true to size?

Yes. The North Face lists this style in whole youth sizes only, 10 through 7, so there are no half sizes to fall back on. If your child is between sizes, take the larger and snug the quick lace.

Can I get them wet?

Yes. The synthetic upper, EVA footbed and rubber outsole are built for creek crossings and wet trail. Rinse with fresh water afterwards and let them air dry.

How do I clean them?

Rinse with fresh water, wipe the footbed with mild soap and a soft cloth, and scrub the outsole with a soft brush. Air dry at room temperature — never in a dryer or near direct heat.

Will the footbed mould to my foot?

No. The contoured EVA footbed keeps its shape rather than moulding the way cork does. The topo texture is what stops the foot sliding once it is wet.

Are they good for wide feet?

The North Face builds this style in one width, but instep volume adjusts through the quick lace and cord lock, which gives a wider foot some room to work with.
