What is the temperature rating for these mules?
While there isn't an official temperature rating, the 550-fill goose down provides excellent insulation for cold weather. They are suitable for temperatures below freezing.
Can I wash these in a washing machine?
It is not recommended to wash these mules in a washing machine. Clean them by hand with a damp cloth or sponge.
What kind of socks should I wear with these?
Wear warm, moisture-wicking socks for optimal comfort and insulation. Wool or synthetic socks are excellent choices.
Are the materials sustainable?
Yes, the recycled polyester ripstop upper and responsibly sourced down contribute to the sustainability of these mules.

What is the warranty on these mules?

Troubleshooting
Mules feel tight or too small.
Check the size guide and ensure you have the correct size. Consider trying a size up if you prefer a looser fit.
Traction seems inadequate on icy surfaces.
Ensure the IcePick rubber lugs are clean. Walk carefully on icy surfaces and consider using additional traction devices if needed.
Down filling appears to be clumping or losing loft.
Gently massage the down filling to redistribute it. Avoid washing the mules frequently to preserve the down's quality. Professional cleaning is recommended when needed.
