FAQs
Are these mules waterproof?
The ripstop upper offers water resistance, but they are not fully waterproof. Prolonged exposure to heavy rain may allow water to penetrate.
What is the warmth rating?
The 550-fill goose down provides excellent warmth, suitable for cold weather conditions.
Can I wash these in a washing machine?
It is recommended to spot clean them with a damp cloth and mild detergent. Machine washing is not advised.
What kind of socks should I wear with these?
Wear socks appropriate for the weather conditions. For cold weather, thicker wool or synthetic socks are recommended.
How do I store the Nuptse Traction Chukka Mules?
Store them in a cool, dry place. Avoid compressing them to maintain the down's loft.
What is the warranty on these mules?
Please refer to The North Face warranty policy for specific details.
What is the difference between the Nuptse Traction Chukka and the Nuptse Traction Mule?
The Nuptse Traction Chukka is a boot with a higher cut, while the Nuptse Traction Mule is a slip-on with a foldable heel.
What is the purpose of the IcePick rubber outsole?
The IcePick rubber outsole hardens in low temperatures to provide enhanced traction and grip on icy or slippery surfaces.
Troubleshooting
Mules feel too tight.
Check the size and consider wearing thinner socks. Ensure the heel is not folded down if it restricts the fit.
Poor traction on ice.
While the IcePick sole provides good grip, use extra caution on icy surfaces. Consider using additional traction devices if needed.
Down filling appears to be clumping.
Gently massage the affected area to redistribute the down. Avoid washing frequently to preserve the down's quality.
