FAQs
Are these shoes true to size?
Yes, they generally fit true to the standard Vans sizing, but remember that the backless design may feel different from a fully enclosed shoe.
Can I wear these for skating?
These mules are designed for casual wear and lack the heel lockdown required for safe skateboarding.
How do I clean the rubber midsole?
You can clean the rubber midsole using a magic eraser or a damp cloth with a mild detergent.
Are these suitable for all-day walking?
They are comfortable for casual daily wear, but because they lack a heel, they are not recommended for extensive or long-distance walking.
Does the material stretch over time?
Like most cotton canvas footwear, the material may relax slightly after consistent wear.
Troubleshooting
Shoes feel loose during walking
Mules are designed for a relaxed fit; if they feel too loose, ensure you are wearing the correct size and try wearing them with slightly thicker socks.
Staining on the white cotton fabric
Gently clean the affected area using a dedicated sneaker cleaner or a mild mixture of water and soap with a soft brush.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Since this is a slip-on shoe, there is no setup required; simply slide your feet in and you are ready to go. To ensure longevity, keep the shoes away from excessive moisture, as the cotton material can absorb water. If the shoes become dirty, spot clean the cotton upper with a soft cloth and mild soap. Avoid putting them in a washing machine, as this can degrade the structure and adhesive over time. Store them in a cool, dry place when not in use.
