Extended Product Information
FAQs
Are these mules suitable for wearing outside in snow?
Yes, the high-traction rubber outsoles and water-resistant finish make them suitable for light snow and slippery conditions. However, they are not fully waterproof and are best for shorter excursions or après-ski wear rather than extended hiking in deep snow.
How do I ensure the best fit?
The mules feature a collapsible heel. You can wear it down for a slip-on style or fold it up for a more secure, bootie-like fit. They are designed to be comfortably snug initially, with the fleece lining conforming to your foot over time.
Can I wash these mules in a washing machine?
No, machine washing is not recommended as it can damage the insulation, fleece lining, and water-resistant treatment. Spot cleaning with a damp cloth and mild soap is the preferred method.
What is Thermoball™ insulation?
Thermoball™ is a synthetic insulation technology developed by The North Face that mimics the warmth and compressibility of down, providing excellent thermal performance even when wet.
What makes this collaboration unique?
This collaboration between The North Face and SKIMS merges TNF's technical outdoor expertise with SKIMS' focus on elevated comfort and style, resulting in cozy, fashionable footwear designed for both performance and lounging.
How durable is the outsole?
The outsole is made of high-traction rubber, designed for durability and grip on various surfaces common in cold weather environments, such as ice, snow, and hard floors.
Troubleshooting
Mules feel too tight
The collapsible heel can be worn up for a more secure fit, or allow time for the insulation and fleece to naturally mold to your feet with wear.
Traction seems reduced on wet surfaces
Ensure the rubber outsoles are clean and free from mud or debris. While water-resistant, they are not fully waterproof, and extreme wetness can affect grip.
Fleece lining feels matted
Gently brush the fleece with a soft-bristled brush. Avoid excessive heat or harsh cleaning agents that can damage the fibers.
Water resistance seems diminished
Reapply a fabric-safe water repellent spray designed for outdoor footwear. Ensure the product is suitable for fleece and synthetic materials.
