FAQs
Are these shoes waterproof?
The upper material is water-resistant, but these mules are not fully waterproof. They are best suited for dry, cold conditions.
Can I wash these in a washing machine?
No, it's not recommended to machine wash the mules. Spot clean them with a damp cloth and mild soap.
What is the temperature rating?
The temperature rating is not explicitly provided, but the 550-fill goose down insulation ensures they are suitable for cold winter days.
What kind of socks should I wear with these?
Wear warm, moisture-wicking socks for best results, especially in cold weather. Wool or synthetic blends work well.
Can I use these for hiking?
While they're comfortable, the Nuptse Traction Chukka Mules are not designed for hiking. Their primary purpose is to provide warmth and comfort in casual, cold-weather settings.
What is the warranty on these mules?
The standard warranty from The North Face covers manufacturing defects. Contact The North Face customer service for specific warranty details.
Troubleshooting
Mules feel too tight.
Ensure you have the correct size. The insulation can make the fit snug, so consider sizing up if you're between sizes.
Poor traction on ice.
Make sure the IcePick lugs are clean and free of debris. In extreme ice conditions, exercise extra caution.
Down insulation feels flat.
Gently shake the mules or leave them in a well-ventilated area to allow the down to re-loft.
