Your Nike ACG Rufus Mule requires no complex setup. Simply slip them on and adjust for comfort. There are no laces or complex fastenings to manage.
Sizing: These mules are offered in standard adult sizing (UK 6.5 for this variant). Ensure you select your usual size for optimal fit. If you are between sizes, consider trying both to determine the best comfort.
Outfits: The 'Limestone' suede and simple design offer broad compatibility with various casual outfits, including jeans, shorts, and light athletic wear.
Maintaining the quality and appearance of your suede mules is crucial. Follow these guidelines:
Spot Cleaning: For minor dirt or scuffs, use a dedicated suede brush to gently rub the affected area. Always brush in one direction.
Deeper Cleaning: For more stubborn stains, use a specialized suede cleaner following the product's instructions. Apply sparingly and blot, do not rub aggressively.
Protection: Before initial wear and periodically thereafter, apply a suede protector spray. This helps repel water and prevent stains.
Drying: If your mules get wet, allow them to air dry naturally at room temperature. Avoid direct heat sources like radiators or sunlight, as these can damage the suede.
Storage: Store in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight to prevent fading and material degradation. Use shoe trees or crumpled paper to help maintain their shape.
