FAQs
Are these shoes machine washable?
It is recommended to spot clean the shoes. Machine washing can damage the woven upper and the platform sole bonding.
How tall is the platform?
The platform sole on the Austin Lift series is 44mm high.
Can I replace the insole with my own orthotics?
Yes, the foam insole is removable, allowing you to insert custom orthotics if preferred.
Is the material breathable?
Yes, the woven construction is designed to allow airflow, making it suitable for warm weather.
Are these suitable for wide feet?
The mule construction provides a flexible fit, though individual foot anatomy varies. The open back generally accommodates different foot widths well.
What is the primary function of the cork insole?
The cork insole is chosen for its natural ability to resist heat and moisture, providing a comfortable environment for the foot during summer.
Troubleshooting
Insole feels damp after long wear
Remove the foam insole from the shoe and allow it to air dry in a well-ventilated area away from direct sunlight.
Heel slipping out while walking
Ensure your foot is pushed fully forward; the raised heel edge is designed to provide friction, but a proper fit is essential for the mule design to function correctly.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Because these are slip-on mules, no setup is required beyond ensuring the correct fit. To maintain the footwear, the removable foam insole should be taken out and air-dried if exposed to heavy moisture. The woven upper can be spot-cleaned with a soft, damp cloth and mild soap. Avoid machine washing, as high heat and heavy agitation may compromise the structural integrity of the woven fibers and the platform bonding. Store the shoes in a cool, dry place to ensure the moisture-resistant properties of the cork insole remain effective.
