Extended Product Information
FAQs
Are these suitable for walking long distances?
The contoured footbed and Relaxed Fit® design offer good comfort for casual walking and standing. However, due to the open-back design, they may not provide the same level of support as a closed shoe for very long or strenuous walks.
How do I clean the cork-style midsole?
The cork-style midsole can generally be cleaned with a slightly damp cloth. Avoid harsh chemicals or excessive moisture.
Can I wear these in wet weather?
It is not recommended to wear genuine suede footwear in wet conditions as it can lead to staining and damage. It's best to protect them from moisture.
What does 'Relaxed Fit®' mean?
Relaxed Fit® from Skechers means the shoes have a roomier fit in the toe, heel, and width compared to standard fits, enhancing overall comfort without sacrificing stability.
Is the metal buckle adjustable?
The metal buckle is primarily a decorative feature. While it can be adjusted slightly, it does not significantly alter the shoe's fit.
What is the best way to store these mules?
Store them in a cool, dry place, away from direct sunlight. Stuffing them with shoe trees or paper can help maintain their shape when not in use.
What material is the upper made of?
The upper is made of genuine suede.
Troubleshooting
Suede appears dull or dirty
Use a suede brush to restore the nap and remove surface dirt. For stains, use a suede eraser or a specialized suede cleaner following product instructions.
Footbed feels less supportive over time
Gently clean the footbed with a damp cloth. For significant loss of support, consider using a thin insert designed for loafers or mules.
Shoes feel too loose or too tight
The Relaxed Fit® design provides a roomier fit. Ensure you have selected the correct UK size. The metal buckle offers minor adjustment, but cannot significantly alter the fit.
Water spots on suede
Allow the shoes to air dry completely. Once dry, use a suede brush to try and lift the nap and blend the area. Applying a suede protector spray can help prevent future water spots.
