FAQs

Are these shoes machine washable?

Do these provide arch support?

Can I wear these for sports?

No, the open-back mule design does not provide the ankle support or lockdown required for sports or high-intensity activity.

What is the material of the upper?

The upper is constructed from durable suede.

Is the sole rubber?

Yes, they feature the classic Vans rubber outsole for reliable grip and durability.

How do I choose the right size?

These follow standard adult UK sizing; order your usual shoe size for a comfortable fit.

Troubleshooting

Suede looks dull or dusty

Use a dry suede brush to gently lift the fibers and remove dust in a circular motion.

Difficulty slipping on

Ensure the back edge is not folded inward and use a shoehorn if necessary to maintain the shape of the heel cup.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Since this is a slip-on shoe, there is no setup required; simply slide your foot in and go. For sizing, these are designed as standard adult fits, but it is recommended to ensure your heel sits properly within the footbed area. To care for your suede mules, avoid submerging them in water. Instead, use a soft-bristled brush to gently remove surface dust and a dedicated suede eraser for spot-cleaning minor marks. Store them in a cool, dry place to prevent moisture buildup in the fabric.
