FAQs
Are these shoes waterproof?
They are water-resistant and designed to keep your feet warm in damp conditions, but they are not fully waterproof.
Can I wear these for hiking?
No, these are designed for camp relaxation, casual wear, and light errands. They do not offer the support required for hiking.
How should I clean the fleece lining?
Gently dab with a damp cloth. Avoid submerging the shoes in water to maintain the integrity of the insulation.
Are these suitable for outdoor use?
Yes, they are designed with a durable exterior suitable for base camps and casual outdoor environments.
Do they pack down small?
Yes, the materials used are highly compressible, making them excellent for packing into luggage or a daypack.
Is the sizing true to size?
The Thermoball Traction Mule follows a standard fit; if you prefer wearing very thick wool socks, some users prefer sizing up.
Troubleshooting
Mules feel too loose while walking
Try wearing a thicker pair of hiking socks to improve the snugness and overall fit.
Exterior fabric is getting dirty
Use a soft brush to remove loose dirt and wipe down with a damp cloth; avoid harsh chemicals.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
These mules are ready to wear immediately out of the box with no break-in period required. To maintain the life of your Thermoball footwear, spot clean the exterior with a damp cloth and mild detergent when dirty. Avoid machine washing or drying, as this can degrade the insulation and structural integrity. Store them in a cool, dry place when not in use to prevent material compression. They are best paired with wool or synthetic socks for optimal moisture-wicking and warmth during cold-weather outings.
