FAQs
Are the Nike ACG Rufus mules waterproof?
The suede upper is not inherently waterproof. It's highly recommended to apply a water and stain repellent spray specifically designed for suede to protect them from moisture and prolong their life.
Can I use these for intense hiking or trail running?
While the ACG Rufus offers good traction and comfort for light outdoor activities and casual trails, it's not designed for intense hiking, technical terrain, or trail running. For those activities, more specialized footwear with ankle support and robust protection is recommended.
How do I clean a stubborn stain on the suede?
For stubborn stains, use a specialized suede cleaner following the product's instructions. Apply a small amount to a clean cloth, gently dab the stain, then brush with a suede brush once dry. Always test on an inconspicuous area first.
What is the fit like for the Nike ACG Rufus?
The ACG Rufus generally runs true to size based on standard Nike UK sizing. As a slip-on mule, it offers a relaxed yet secure fit. If you are between sizes, consider trying the next half size up for maximum comfort, especially if you plan to wear socks.
Can I wear these without socks?
Yes, the textile lining is designed to be comfortable against bare skin. However, wearing socks can help manage moisture, reduce friction, and keep the interior fresher for longer.
Is the sole non-marking?
The rubber outsole is typically designed to be non-marking on most indoor surfaces. However, please note that specific non-marking certification information is not provided. Info needed: [Confirm specific non-marking properties].
Troubleshooting
Suede looks dull or matted
Use a suede brush with stiff bristles to gently restore the nap and lift away surface dirt. Brush in one direction for a uniform look.
Mules feel a bit loose after initial wear
This can happen as the materials conform to your foot. If it becomes problematic, try wearing thicker socks or consider adding a thin insole for a snugger fit.
Mules slip on wet surfaces
While the outsole is grippy, extreme wet conditions or oily surfaces can still reduce traction. Ensure the outsole is clean of debris. Re-evaluate if the conditions are too hazardous for this type of footwear.
Foot odor develops
Ensure your feet are clean and dry before wearing. Consider wearing moisture-wicking socks. You can also use shoe deodorizers or sprinkle baking soda inside the mules overnight to absorb odors.
Suede has minor scuffs or marks
Use a suede eraser to gently rub away scuffs. For deeper marks, a small amount of white vinegar dabbed with a cloth can sometimes help, followed by brushing once dry.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup
The Nike ACG Rufus is ready to wear straight out of the box. No assembly or special setup is required. For optimal protection and longevity, it's recommended to treat the suede upper with a water and stain repellent spray specifically designed for suede before its first use.
Compatibility
- Gender: Designed as a men's slip-on mule, but its versatile style can be appreciated by anyone.
- Age Group: Suitable for adults.
- Sizing: Follows standard Nike UK sizing. For best fit, measure your foot length and refer to Nike's official size chart.
- Attire: Pairs well with casual wear such as shorts, jeans, cargo pants, and various outdoor-inspired clothing.
Care
Proper care will extend the life and appearance of your Nike ACG Rufus mules:
- Suede Protection: Regularly apply a high-quality suede protector spray to repel water and prevent stains. Reapply every few weeks or after cleaning.
- Cleaning Suede: Use a dedicated suede brush to gently remove loose dirt and debris. For tougher stains, use a suede eraser or a specialized suede cleaning solution, following the product's instructions.
- Drying: If the mules get wet, allow them to air dry naturally at room temperature, away from direct heat sources or sunlight, which can damage the suede.
- Storage: Store in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight. Consider using shoe trees or stuffing them with paper to help maintain their shape.
- Avoid Immersion: Do not machine wash or submerge the mules in water, as this can severely damage the suede and adhesives.
