FAQs
Are these shoes machine washable?
No, machine washing can damage the leather and the structure of the mule. Please stick to spot cleaning with a damp cloth.
Is the leather real or synthetic?
The PUMA Bari Mule features leather construction for durability and a premium feel.
Can I use these for light exercise?
They are designed for casual, everyday wear. We do not recommend them for running, gym training, or high-impact activities.
Does the size UK 8.5 fit the same as other PUMA footwear?
Yes, PUMA generally maintains consistent sizing across its lifestyle collections, though individual foot shape can influence fit.
How do I deal with scuffs on the leather?
Light scuffs can usually be buffed out with a soft, dry cloth or treated with a leather-specific polishing cream.
Troubleshooting
Leather looks dull or loses its luster
Apply a high-quality leather cream or conditioner to restore the finish and protect the material.
The fit feels slightly loose due to the mule design
If the mule slides too much, consider using an adhesive heel grip inside the front of the shoe or ensuring your sock thickness is appropriate.
Getting marks on the sole
Use a specialized rubber eraser or a damp sponge with mild soap to gently scrub white soles.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure your PUMA Bari Mules maintain their appearance and structure, follow these care steps:
- Cleaning: Wipe the leather surface with a soft, damp cloth to remove surface dirt and dust.
- Leather Maintenance: Periodically use a leather conditioner to prevent the material from cracking and to maintain its supple feel.
- Storage: Store in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight or extreme heat, which can warp the leather or compromise the adhesives.
- Compatibility: These are true-to-size for most adults. If you prefer to wear thicker socks, consider how the mule style might impact your fit compared to a closed-heel shoe.
