While the rubber sole offers good traction, the leather upper and cork footbed are not waterproof. Prolonged exposure to heavy rain or water can damage the materials, leading to cracking of the cork or staining of the leather. It's best to avoid wet conditions.

For optimal care, clean the leather upper as needed to remove dirt. Conditioning should be done every few weeks to months, depending on frequency of wear and environmental conditions, to keep the leather soft and prevent drying or cracking.

The 100% cork footbed is anatomically shaped to provide natural arch support, a deep heel cup, and toe grip. It distributes body weight evenly across the foot, promotes a natural walking motion, and reduces pressure points, offering superior comfort and foot health benefits.

The cork footbed is designed to mold to your unique foot shape over time. Allow for a break-in period by wearing them for short durations (1-2 hours) daily until they become more comfortable and personalized.

Clean the leather upper with a soft, damp cloth to remove any surface dirt. Then, apply a high-quality leather conditioner or cream specifically designed for full-grain leather to restore moisture and shine. Follow the conditioner product's instructions carefully.

This can sometimes occur if there's moisture between the footbed and the sole, or due to the natural movement of the materials. Ensure the shoes are thoroughly dry. If the squeaking persists, a small amount of baby powder sprinkled under the footbed can sometimes help reduce friction.

Sprinkle baking soda generously over the footbed and let it sit overnight. The baking soda will absorb odors. In the morning, vacuum or brush off the powder. Ensure the mules are aired out regularly after wear.
