FAQs
Are these shoes waterproof?
They are designed with water-resistant properties to handle light moisture and snow, but they are not fully waterproof.
Can I wear these for long walks?
These are intended for casual wear and campsite relaxation, not for long-distance hiking or heavy physical activity.
Are they machine washable?
It is recommended to hand-wash or spot-clean only to ensure the longevity of the insulation and outsoles.
Do they provide good arch support?
They feature an ergonomic design for comfort, but they lack the rigid arch support found in technical hiking boots.
What is the best way to store them?
Store in a dry, well-ventilated area away from direct sunlight and extreme heat to maintain material integrity.
Are these true to size?
They generally fit true to size, but since they are slip-ons, ensure you choose your standard shoe size for the most comfortable fit.
Troubleshooting
Outer material appears dirty or muddy
Use a soft-bristled brush to remove dried mud, then wipe with a damp cloth and mild soap.
Feeling dampness inside after light rain
Ensure they are thoroughly air-dried in a well-ventilated area. Avoid using high heat or dryers.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
These mules are ready to wear straight out of the box with no specific setup required. To maintain their performance and longevity, store them in a cool, dry place away from direct heat sources when not in use. If they get dirty, spot-clean the exterior with a damp cloth and mild soap. Avoid machine washing or harsh chemical solvents, as these can degrade the synthetic insulation and the integrity of the outsole. Air dry them away from direct sunlight to preserve the color and material quality.
