FAQs
What is the heel height of the Franciane Mule?
The heel height is 75mm.
What material are the mules made of?
They are made from 100% Lambskin leather with a leather sole.
How do I determine my size?
The shoe corresponds to Italian sizing. For example, IT 38 is equivalent to a UK 5.5. It is recommended to consult a size chart or try them on if possible.
Are these suitable for all-day wear?
The wide 75mm heel offers good stability for a heeled shoe, and the soft lambskin will conform to your foot. However, suitability for all-day wear depends on individual comfort with heels.
How should I clean the twisted straps?
Gently wipe the straps with a soft, dry cloth. For any marks, use a slightly damp cloth and allow to air dry. Avoid harsh chemicals.
Can I wear these in wet conditions?
It is not recommended to wear these mules in wet conditions as both the leather and leather sole can be damaged by excessive moisture.
Does the Saint Laurent engraving on the insole wear off?
The engraved metal plate is designed for durability. With normal wear and care, it should remain intact. Avoid excessive friction or abrasive cleaning on the insole.
Troubleshooting
Mules feel too tight initially
Lambskin leather will stretch slightly with wear. Wear them for short periods indoors on a carpeted surface to allow them to mold to your foot shape. Avoid wearing them outside until comfortable.
Leather appears dry or dull
Apply a small amount of appropriate leather conditioner specifically designed for soft leathers. Test on an inconspicuous area first. Avoid over-conditioning.
Scuffs on the leather straps or heel
For minor scuffs, a leather-specific eraser or a mild leather cleaner may help. For deeper scuffs, professional leather repair services are recommended.
Slipping occurs on smooth surfaces
Leather soles can be slippery when new. Consider having a cobbler add a thin protective rubber sole layer for improved traction, especially if you anticipate wearing them on slick surfaces.

It is recommended to try them on indoors on a clean surface to confirm fit before wearing outdoors.
Compatibility: These mules are designed for adult women and are compatible with a wide range of fashion attire, from formal dresses and skirts to smart trousers and even elevated casual wear. They are best suited for indoor or paved outdoor environments due to their leather sole and heel.
Care Instructions:
- Material: 100% Lambskin leather. To maintain the quality and appearance, avoid prolonged exposure to direct sunlight and heat, which can dry out and fade the leather.
- Cleaning: Clean with a soft, dry cloth. For stubborn marks, use a slightly damp cloth, avoiding excessive moisture. Do not use harsh chemicals or abrasive cleaners.
- Soles & Heels: The leather sole and covered heel should be protected from excessive moisture and rough surfaces. Consider professional resoling or heel repair if significant wear occurs.
- Storage: Store in a cool, dry place, preferably in a dust bag to protect from dust and scratches. Avoid creasing by stuffing them with tissue paper if storing for extended periods.
