The The North Face Thermoball Traction Mule V is designed for ultimate comfort and warmth in relaxed settings. Its ThermoBall Eco insulation means your feet stay toasty whether you're camping, lounging at home, or on a cold morning walk to get the paper. The Oso fleece collar lining adds a luxurious feel, making these mules a go-to choice for après-ski relaxation or cozy evenings.
The foldable heel feature is incredibly practical. You can wear them as a full shoe for a bit more coverage or fold the heel down for a quick, comfortable slip-on. This makes them perfect for transitioning from inside to outside, or for quick trips where you need to put shoes on effortlessly. The recycled PET ripstop upper and non-PFC water-repellent finish offer light protection against dew or minor splashes, ensuring durability for casual outdoor excursions.
Camping & Outdoor Relaxation: Keep your feet warm around the campfire or inside your tent.
Indoor Comfort: An excellent alternative to slippers, providing more warmth and a more robust sole.
Post-Activity Wear: Ideal for slipping on after skiing, hiking, or other outdoor sports.
Casual Errands: Comfortable and easy to wear for quick trips to the store or around the neighborhood.
Heavy Rain or Snow: While water-repellent, they are not waterproof for prolonged exposure.
Vigorous Hiking or Running: The mule design lacks the support and traction needed for high-impact activities.
Technical Terrain: The sole is designed for casual use, not for gripping uneven or slippery trails.
Getting started with your Thermoball Traction Mule V is simple:
Unpack: Remove the mules from their packaging.
Wear: Slip your foot into the mule. You can choose to wear the heel up for a more secure fit or fold it down for an easy slip-on style.
These mules are highly compatible with a variety of casual wear scenarios:
Clothing: Pair them with loungewear, outdoor pants, or casual jeans.
Environment: Suitable for indoor use, car camping, base camp, or light outdoor casual activities in cool to cold conditions. They are designed for adults seeking comfort and warmth.
Proper care will ensure the longevity and performance of your mules:
Cleaning: For general dirt, gently wipe the ripstop upper with a damp cloth and mild soap. Avoid harsh chemicals.
Drying: Air dry away from direct heat. Do not put them in a washing machine or dryer, as this can damage the insulation and water-repellent finish.
Insulation Care: To maintain the loft of the ThermoBall Eco insulation, avoid compressing the mules for extended periods when storing them.
Water Repellency: The non-PFC water-repellent finish may diminish over time. If needed, a suitable DWR (Durable Water Repellent) spray can be applied after cleaning, following the product instructions.
