FAQs
How do I clean the suede upper?
Gently wipe the suede with a slightly damp cloth. For tougher stains, use a suede brush or a dedicated suede cleaner, following the product's instructions. Avoid saturating the material.
Will the cork footbed get damaged if it gets wet?
Yes, excessive moisture can degrade the cork. If the footbed gets wet, allow it to air dry naturally. Do not expose it to direct heat.
How do I adjust the buckle for a better fit?
The buckle functions like a traditional shoe buckle. Thread the strap through the buckle and secure it by passing the prong through one of the pre-punched holes in the strap. Adjust to your comfort.
Are these mules suitable for wide feet?
The adjustable buckle strap provides some flexibility. However, the overall fit depends on individual foot shape. It is recommended to try them on if possible.
What is the sole height?
The sole height is approximately 4 cm.
Can I wear these in wet weather?
These mules are not designed for heavy rain. While the rubber sole offers some protection, the suede upper is sensitive to moisture and prolonged exposure to wet conditions is not recommended.
How long does it take for the cork footbed to mold to my foot?
The molding process varies per individual but typically begins to feel noticeable after a few days of consistent wear. Full molding can take a couple of weeks.
Troubleshooting
Suede appears discolored or stained
Use a suede brush to gently lift the nap. For stubborn stains, consult a specialized suede cleaner and follow its instructions carefully. Avoid using water directly on suede.
Footbed feels uncomfortable or stiff
The cork footbed is designed to mold to your foot over time. Wear the mules for short periods initially and gradually increase wear time. Avoid soaking the footbed.
Buckle feels loose or difficult to adjust
Ensure the buckle prong is correctly seated in the strap holes. If the strap feels worn, it may require replacement. Contact customer support if the issue persists.
Mules feel slippery on certain surfaces
The rubber sole provides traction, but performance can vary. Ensure the sole is clean. For increased grip on very smooth surfaces, consider a sole grip enhancement product.
