Troubleshooting
The shoe feels loose while walking
Ensure you are wearing the correct size for your foot shape, as mule designs rely on the snugness of the upper to stay secure.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Because the Harbor Mule VR3 is a slip-on shoe, there is no technical setup required. To ensure longevity, follow these care instructions:
- Cleaning: Spot clean the exterior with a soft brush and mild soap to remove dirt and dust. Avoid submerging the shoes in water to maintain the integrity of the materials.
- Storage: Store in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight to prevent potential fading of the brown material.
- Compatibility: These mules are best paired with casual trousers or shorts and are intended for lifestyle wear rather than high-performance sports or technical hiking.
