FAQs
Are these shoes machine washable?
It is recommended to hand clean with a damp cloth to protect the structural integrity and the rubber adhesive of the soles.
Do these fit true to size?
Yes, these generally follow standard sizing conventions for Vans footwear.
Can I wear these for long walks?
While comfortable for casual wear, the mule design is intended for shorter distances and does not offer the same heel stability as a standard shoe.
Is the material waterproof?
No, the cotton upper is breathable but not waterproof. Avoid wearing them in heavy rain.
Can I use these as indoor slippers?
Absolutely, the durable rubber sole and easy-on design make them an excellent choice for comfortable indoor-to-outdoor footwear.
Troubleshooting
Heel slipping out while walking
Ensure you are wearing the correct UK size and that the footbed is clean to maintain natural grip against your sock or skin.
Cotton upper showing light dust or lint
Use a standard lint roller or a soft-bristled fabric brush to gently remove surface debris.
Rubber sole losing grip
Wipe the bottom of the soles with a damp cloth to remove built-up dirt or floor wax that may accumulate over time.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
These shoes are ready to wear right out of the box with no break-in period required for most users. To ensure longevity, keep them away from harsh cleaning chemicals. If they get dirty, spot clean the cotton upper with a damp cloth and a mild soap solution. Allow the shoes to air dry naturally, away from direct heat sources like radiators, as high heat can compromise the rubber bond and fabric integrity. Store them in a cool, dry place to prevent dust accumulation in the open heel area.
