FAQs

What material are these Opyum mules made from?

These specific Opyum mules are crafted from satin crepe, offering a luxurious finish.

How do I clean the satin crepe material?

For light cleaning, use a soft, dry brush or a slightly damp cloth. Avoid harsh chemicals and excessive moisture. Professional cleaning is recommended for tough stains.

Are these sandals suitable for all-day wear?

While the square toe offers some comfort, the heel height and thong design may make them best suited for occasions rather than all-day extensive walking.

What is the Cassandre heel?

The Cassandre heel is a signature design element of Saint Laurent, often featuring the brand's interlocking YSL logo.

Can I wear these in wet conditions?

It is strongly advised not to wear satin footwear in wet conditions, as moisture can easily stain and damage the satin crepe material.

What size should I choose?

Refer to the size chart provided by Saint Laurent or the retailer. These are listed in UK sizing, with this particular model being a UK 6.5.

Do these mules come in other colors?

This particular product is described as black. Saint Laurent may offer the Opyum line in various colors and materials across different collections.

Troubleshooting

Satin material shows a mark or stain.

Gently blot the area with a clean, dry cloth. For persistent stains, consult a professional shoe cleaner specializing in delicate fabrics. Avoid using water unless absolutely necessary and test on an inconspicuous area first.

Heel feels unstable or wobbly.

Ensure the heel is securely attached. If it feels loose, professional repair by a cobbler may be required to re-secure it.

Discomfort due to the thong strap.

The thong strap may require a break-in period. Wear them for short durations initially. If discomfort persists, this style may not be suitable for your foot shape.

Slipping when walking.

Ensure the soles are clean and dry. Consider adding sole grips or having a cobbler apply a protective sole layer if this is a recurring issue.

Care:

  1. Material Care: The satin crepe material is delicate. Avoid exposure to water and direct heat, as these can damage the fabric.

  3. Storage: Store the mules in a cool, dry place, preferably in their original dust bag or shoebox to protect them from dust and prevent snagging or creasing. Avoid storing them in direct sunlight.
  4. Heel Care: Be mindful of the Cassandre heel; avoid scuffing it against rough surfaces.
