FAQs

Are these shoes suitable for wearing in heavy snow?

The Thermoball Traction Mule V features a water-resistant finish and a high-traction outsole, making them suitable for light snow and damp conditions. For heavy snow or prolonged exposure to wetness, more specialized waterproof footwear is recommended.

How do I choose the right size?

These shoes are available in adult UK sizes. It is recommended to consult a size chart and consider trying them on if possible, as the collapsible heel can offer a slightly adjusted fit. If you are between sizes, consider your preferred sock thickness.

Can the heel be worn up and down?

Yes, the heel is designed to be collapsible with elastic side panels, allowing you to wear it as a slip-on slipper or push the heel up for a more secure mule fit.

What is Thermoball™ insulation?

Thermoball™ is a synthetic insulation technology that mimics the insulating properties of down, providing warmth even when wet, and is a key feature for keeping feet warm in cold conditions.

Are these shoes machine washable?

No, these shoes are not machine washable. Cleaning should be done manually with a damp cloth and mild soap. Avoid machine washing or drying, as it can damage the materials and insulation.

What makes the outsole 'high-traction'?

The outsole is made of durable rubber with a specific tread pattern designed to maximize grip on various surfaces, particularly those that are wet or icy, reducing the risk of slipping.

Troubleshooting

Feet feel cold despite insulation

Ensure the collapsible heel is fully secured if worn as a mule for maximum warmth. Check if the socks worn are sufficiently insulating. Allow a short break-in period as the insulation may need to 'settle'.

Outsole grip feels reduced

Clean the rubber outsole with a damp cloth to remove any dirt, mud, or debris that might be hindering traction. Ensure the shoes are completely dry before use on slippery surfaces.

Difficulty collapsing the heel

Gently push down on the heel while wearing the shoe. The elastic side panels are designed for ease of use; if stiff, try a slightly firmer but controlled pressure. Ensure no debris is caught in the heel area.

Water seeping through

The water-resistant finish is designed for light moisture. For heavier exposure, consider using a specific water-repellent spray suitable for footwear materials. Allow the shoes to dry thoroughly after exposure to water.

Care Instructions:
