FAQs
Are these mules waterproof?
While the materials are durable, they are not designed as waterproof gear and should be kept away from heavy rain or standing water.
Can I wear these for hiking?
No, these are intended for light walking and casual use. They lack the structural support and grip required for technical hiking.
Are they machine washable?
It is recommended to hand-clean them with a damp cloth to preserve the synthetic insulation and construction quality.
How do they fit?
They feature a standard fit that is true to size for most adults. If you prefer to wear very thick socks, you may consider if your normal size still feels comfortable.
Are they suitable for indoor use?
Yes, their soft, warm interior and durable base make them excellent for both indoor lounging and light outdoor transitions.
Troubleshooting
Foot feels slightly loose
Try wearing a thicker wool sock to improve the overall fit and increase insulation.
Outer material getting dirty
Wipe the exterior surface gently with a damp cloth and allow to air dry away from direct heat sources.
Loss of internal fluffiness
Give the mules a gentle shake or light pat to redistribute the internal Thermoball insulation.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
These mules are ready to wear immediately out of the box with no break-in period required. To maintain the integrity of the insulation and the fleece lining, it is recommended to spot clean the exterior with a damp cloth and mild detergent. Do not machine wash or dry unless explicitly stated, as high heat can damage the synthetic insulation properties. Store them in a cool, dry place when not in use. Given their standard fit, they pair well with both thin and medium-weight wool socks depending on your preferred level of warmth.
