FAQs
What material is the McQueen Horn Heel Mule made from?
The mule is crafted from antiqued brown nappa leather, with a leather upper, lining, and insole. The sole is a combination of leather and rubber.
How should I clean the hand-painted horn heel?
Gently wipe the horn heel with a slightly damp, soft cloth. Avoid abrasive cleaners or materials that could damage the painted finish.
Are these shoes suitable for everyday wear?
While made with quality materials, the unique heel design is best suited for moderate wear and special occasions rather than all-day, extensive walking.
What is the heel height?
The product description does not specify the exact heel height, but it is described as a curved, hand-painted horn-shaped heel.
Where are these mules made?
These mules are proudly made in Italy.
Can I wear these in wet weather?
It is not recommended to wear leather shoes in heavy rain. The leather and combined sole can be damaged by excessive moisture. Ensure they are dried properly if they get damp.
What does 'Vintage Brown' refer to?
'Vintage Brown' is the designer's specific name for the antiqued brown color of the leather, suggesting a slightly worn or aged appearance.
Troubleshooting
Initial discomfort from the horn heel.
Wear the mules for short periods initially to allow your feet to adjust to the unique heel shape. Consider adding a cushioned insole if needed.
Leather appears dry or scuffed.
Apply a small amount of leather conditioner using a soft cloth. For scuffs, try a matching color leather balm or consult a professional cobbler.
Slippery sole on smooth surfaces.
Take the shoes to a cobbler to apply a rubber sole protector or a 'topy' to improve grip and durability.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup: These mules are ready to wear straight out of the box. Ensure you try them on a clean, soft surface to avoid scratching the sole.
Compatibility: Designed for adult women, these heels are best suited for occasions requiring a touch of elegance and uniqueness. They pair well with a variety of outfits, from smart casual to formal wear.
Care:
- Leather Upper: Wipe clean with a soft, dry cloth. For deeper cleaning, use a specialized leather cleaner sparingly. Condition the leather periodically to maintain its suppleness.
- Heel: Avoid rough surfaces that could scratch or damage the hand-painted finish. Clean gently with a slightly damp cloth.
- Sole: The leather portion of the sole can be sensitive to moisture. Consider having a cobbler add a protective sole layer if you anticipate frequent wear on varied surfaces. Allow shoes to dry naturally away from direct heat if they become wet.
- Storage: Store in the provided dust bag to protect from dust and scratches. Keep in a cool, dry place.
