FAQs
Are these suitable for wide feet?
The adjustable strap allows for some flexibility to accommodate wider feet, but the overall width is based on a standard fit. It's recommended to try them on if possible.
Can I wear these as house slippers?
Yes, their comfortable sole and slip-on design make them suitable for indoor wear, offering more support than a traditional slipper.
How do I clean the sole?
The EVA and PVC sole can typically be wiped clean with a damp cloth. Avoid abrasive cleaners that could damage the material.
What is the main benefit of the hybrid sole?
The hybrid sole combines the lightweight, cushioning properties of EVA with the durability and grip of PVC, offering a balance of comfort and longevity.
How should I care for the suede material?
Use a suede brush for routine cleaning and a suede protector spray. Avoid exposure to rain or excessive moisture. Clean stains promptly with a specialized suede cleaner.
Do these shoes come in other colors?
The Zebzag line has been updated with new shades. While this guide focuses on blue suede, other color options may be available depending on the season and retailer.
What does 'welted construction' mean for these mules?
Welted construction is a method of shoe assembly that Dr. Martens is known for, contributing to their durability and allowing for resoling if needed over time.
Troubleshooting
Suede is stained or dirty.
Gently brush away dry dirt with a suede brush. For stubborn stains, use a dedicated suede cleaner, following product instructions carefully. Allow to air dry completely.
Mules feel slightly stiff.
Wear the mules around the house for short periods to allow them to conform to your foot. Consider wearing them with socks initially. The suede and sole will soften with wear.
Strap doesn't feel secure.
Adjust the strap to the tightest setting that is comfortable. Ensure the hook-and-loop or buckle mechanism is fully engaged. If slippage persists, the fit may not be ideal for your foot shape.
Discoloration from water exposure.
Allow the shoes to air dry naturally away from heat. Once dry, attempt to restore the nap with a suede brush. For significant damage, professional cleaning might be needed.

Care:
- Suede Care: Use a suede brush to clean away dry dirt. For tougher stains, a specialized suede cleaner may be necessary. Always test cleaning products on an inconspicuous area first.

- Storage: Store in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight to maintain the suede's color and texture. Use a shoe tree or stuffing to help maintain shape.
