FAQs

What is the heel height of the Opyum Mules?

The heel height is 85mm.

What materials are these mules made from?

They are made from a blend of 72% Viscose and 28% Silk satin crepe, with a leather insole and leather sole.

How should I clean the satin crepe material?

It is best to seek professional cleaning for satin crepe. Avoid water and harsh chemicals. A slightly damp, soft cloth can be used for very light spot cleaning after testing on an hidden area.

Are these mules suitable for walking long distances?

Due to the heel height and delicate material, they are best suited for shorter durations and less strenuous activities. They are ideal for events and stylish, moderate wear.

What does 'Cassandre heel' refer to?

The Cassandre heel is a signature design element of Saint Laurent, featuring the brand's iconic interlocking YSL logo in a bronze-toned metal, integrated into the heel structure.

What is the sizing like for these mules?

The shoe corresponds to an Italian 38 size, which is equivalent to a UK 5.5. It is advisable to consult a sizing chart or try them on if possible, as fit can vary.

Can the bronze-toned metal heel be damaged?

Yes, the metal heel can be scratched or scuffed with impact. Care should be taken to avoid rough surfaces or accidental knocks.

Troubleshooting

Satin material appears creased or wrinkled

Gently steam from a distance or consult a professional cleaner. Avoid direct ironing.

Scuff marks on the leather sole

Minor scuffs can often be buffed out with a soft cloth. For deeper marks, a cobbler specializing in luxury footwear can assist.

Bronze-toned heel loses its shine

Use a soft, dry cloth to gently polish the metal. Avoid abrasive cleaners.

Shoes feel slightly tight

Satin can stretch slightly with wear. Wear them around the house with socks for a short period to allow them to mold to your feet. If discomfort persists, professional stretching by a cobbler may be an option.

Care Instructions:

  • Material Care: Due to the certified viscose and silk satin crepe, avoid direct contact with water and harsh chemicals.
