Troubleshooting
Metallic finish appears dull or scratched
Gently buff with a soft, dry microfiber cloth. For minor scuffs, a specialized leather cleaner for metallic finishes may be used sparingly, following product instructions carefully.
Mules feel stiff or uncomfortable
Wear them for short periods indoors to allow the leather to mold to your feet. You can also use a shoe stretcher or consult a cobbler for professional stretching if needed.
Slippery sole
Lightly scuff the leather sole on a rough surface like a sidewalk or carpet to add grip. Alternatively, a cobbler can add rubber grips to the sole for increased traction.
