FAQs
What material is the Bottega Veneta Riva Mule made of?
The upper is made of braided raffia, with a lambskin leather lining and a leather insole. The sole is a combination of leather with a rubber injection.
How do I clean the braided raffia?
Gently wipe the raffia with a slightly damp, soft cloth. Avoid harsh cleaners or excessive moisture, as this can damage the fibers.
Are these suitable for wide feet?
The square open-toe design offers more room than a pointed toe, but the fit will depend on individual foot width and the leather's ability to stretch slightly.
What is the heel height of the Riva Mule?
The product information does not specify a heel height, but these are typically designed as flat or low-heeled mules.
What does 'Macadamia' refer to?
'Macadamia' is the designer's color name for this specific shade of beige, referencing the natural color of macadamia nuts.
Can I wear these in wet conditions?
While the rubber sole offers some protection, the raffia and leather components are not waterproof and should be kept dry to prevent damage.
What comes with the shoes?
The product includes the shoe box for storage and protection.
Troubleshooting
Raffia appears matted or crushed
Gently try to fluff the raffia fibers with your fingers or a very soft brush. Avoid pressing down forcefully.
Leather insole feels stiff initially
This is normal for new leather. Wear the mules for short periods; the leather will soften and conform to your foot's shape.
Slight discoloration on raffia after cleaning
Ensure you are using a barely damp cloth and a very mild cleaning agent if necessary. Always test cleaning methods on a small, hidden area first.
Slipping on smooth surfaces
The rubber-injected outsole provides grip, but ensure it is clean. If slipping persists, consult a cobbler about adding extra protective sole grips.
