FAQs
Are these mules true to size?
Based on general feedback for similar styles, it's often recommended to consider your usual sizing. If you are between sizes, or prefer a little more room, sizing up half a size might be beneficial due to the enclosed toe.
Can I wear these shoes in the rain?
While the patent leather offers some protection, it is not entirely waterproof. Wearing them in heavy rain is not recommended as it can damage the leather and the sole. They are best suited for dry conditions.
How do I clean the patent leather finish?
Use a soft, slightly damp cloth to wipe away dirt and smudges. For stubborn marks, a specialized patent leather cleaner can be used sparingly. Always dry with a clean, soft cloth.
What is the heel height of the Lidia 105 mules?
The '105' in the name typically refers to the heel height in millimeters. Therefore, these mules have a heel height of approximately 105mm or 4.1 inches.
What material is the sole made of?
The sole is made of leather, consistent with high-quality footwear construction.
Do these mules come with a dust bag?
Yes, the Paris Texas Lidia 105 mules include a dust bag and a shoe box for protection and storage.
How should I store my patent leather mules?
Store them in the provided dust bag inside the shoe box, in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight to prevent damage and maintain their shape.
Troubleshooting
Mules feel stiff or tight
Wear them around the house for short periods to allow the leather to mold to your feet. You can also use a shoe stretcher or consult a cobbler for professional stretching.
Scuff marks on patent leather
Gently buff the affected area with a soft, dry cloth. For deeper scuffs, a specialized patent leather cleaner or a small amount of petroleum jelly applied with a soft cloth can sometimes help.
Slippery sole
Consider having a cobbler add thin rubber sole protectors to the leather sole for improved traction, especially if you anticipate walking on smooth or potentially wet surfaces.
Color transfer from dark clothing
This can occasionally happen with lighter-colored leather. Ensure your garments are colorfast. If transfer occurs, try cleaning immediately with a damp cloth. A patent leather cleaner might also be effective.

- Cleaning: Wipe the patent leather upper with a soft, damp cloth to remove dust and light marks. Avoid abrasive cleaners.
- Storage: Utilize the provided dust bag and shoe box to protect the shoes from dust, scratches, and humidity when not in use.
- Protection: Consider applying a leather protector spray specifically designed for patent leather to add a layer of defense against moisture and minor scuffs, though test on an inconspicuous area first.
- Maintenance: The leather sole can be conditioned periodically with a leather balm to maintain its suppleness. Be cautious on wet or slippery surfaces as leather soles can be less grippy than rubber.
