FAQs

Are these suitable for actual snow hiking?

These mules are designed for casual wear and light outdoor use in snow. They offer good traction and water resistance for short periods, but are not intended for strenuous hiking in deep snow or challenging terrain.

How do I know which size to order?

Given that these mules may run small, it is generally recommended to size up if you are between sizes or prefer a looser fit, especially if you intend to wear them with thick socks.

Can I machine wash these slippers?

No, machine washing is not recommended as it can damage the insulation and materials. Spot clean with a damp cloth and mild soap, then air dry.

What is the primary benefit of Thermoball™ insulation?

Thermoball™ insulation provides excellent warmth comparable to down but retains its insulating power even when wet, making it ideal for damp or snowy conditions.

How does the collapsible heel work?

The heel features elastic side panels that allow it to be easily pushed down, transforming the mule into a slip-on shoe. This design facilitates quick on and off.

Are these shoes fully waterproof?

The shoes feature a water-resistant finish, which helps to repel light moisture and snow. They are not fully waterproof and should not be submerged in water.

What is the main advantage of the collaboration between The North Face and SKIMS?

The collaboration combines The North Face's technical outdoor expertise with SKIMS' focus on comfort and style, resulting in footwear that is both functional and fashionable for cold-weather lounging and light outdoor activities.

Troubleshooting

Slippers feel too tight

The Thermoball Traction Mule V may run small. Consider sizing up for a more comfortable fit, especially if you plan to wear thicker socks.

Reduced water resistance over time

While designed with a water-resistant finish, this can diminish with wear. Reapplication of a suitable water-repellent spray for footwear is recommended periodically.

Difficulty collapsing the heel

Ensure the elastic side panels are not obstructed. Gently push down on the heel while slipping your foot in or out. The material may require a few uses to become more pliable.

Traction seems diminished on wet surfaces

Ensure the rubber outsole is clean and free from mud or debris. While designed for traction, extreme wetness can still reduce grip on polished or very smooth surfaces.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Excellent warmth retention due to Thermoball™ insulation.
  • High traction outsole provides secure footing.
  • Easy to put on and take off with the collapsible heel design.
  • Water-resistant finish offers protection against the elements.
  • Comfortable fleece lining enhances the cozy feel.

Cons

  • May run small, suggesting to size up for a more comfortable fit.
  • Primarily designed for casual wear and light outdoor activities, not heavy hiking.
  • Limited color options compared to the broader The North Face range.
  • The collapsible heel, while convenient, might not offer the same secure fit as a traditional shoe for all users.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup: These mules require no setup. Simply remove them from the packaging and they are ready to wear.

Compatibility: Designed for adult women, these slippers are suitable for use indoors and for light outdoor activities in cold or snowy conditions. They pair well with casual winter attire.

Care Instructions: To maintain the quality and appearance of your Thermoball Traction Mule V:

  1. Cleaning: Spot clean with a damp cloth. For more thorough cleaning, use a mild soap and water solution. Avoid harsh detergents or bleach.
  2. Drying: Air dry at room temperature away from direct heat sources. Do not machine dry, as this can damage the insulation and materials.
  3. Storage: Store in a cool, dry place when not in use to prevent mildew and maintain shape.
