FAQs

Is the Vans MTE Harbor Mule VR3 waterproof?

While the MTE series is designed for durability, these mules are not explicitly rated as waterproof; it is best to avoid heavy rain or deep puddles.

Can these be worn as outdoor shoes?

Yes, they are designed as a hybrid between a slipper and an outdoor sandal, making them suitable for casual outdoor activities.

Are these suitable for people with wide feet?

The slip-on design of the mule generally offers a forgiving fit for various foot widths, but individual comfort may vary.

How should I clean the interior?

Lightly dust the interior or use a vacuum attachment to remove debris; do not machine wash.

Is the sole non-slip?

The sole features a grip pattern inspired by the MTE line, providing good traction for everyday surfaces, though it is not certified slip-resistant for industrial use.

Troubleshooting

Foot slipping out while walking

Ensure you are wearing the correct size; if the mule feels loose, consider wearing slightly thicker socks to improve the fit.

Visible scuffs on the black exterior

Use a soft-bristled brush or a slightly damp sponge to gently buff the scuffed area.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

These mules are ready to wear immediately out of the box with no break-in period required. For compatibility, the unisex sizing fits a wide range of adult foot shapes, though users should ensure they select their standard Vans sizing for the best fit. To maintain the appearance of the black upper, wipe the exterior with a damp, lint-free cloth to remove dust and surface dirt. Avoid submerging the shoes in water or using harsh chemical cleaners, as these can compromise the material integrity. Allow the shoes to air dry naturally in a cool, shaded area away from direct heat sources.
