FAQs
Are these mules suitable for all-weather use?
They are waterproof and feature a warm lining, making them excellent for cooler, damp conditions. However, their open-back design means they are not fully protective against heavy rain or snow entering from the top, nor are they ideal for very warm weather due to the faux fur.
Can I wear these mules indoors as slippers?
Absolutely! Their comfortable faux fur lining and cushioned insole make them perfect for indoor wear, providing warmth and support around the house.
How do I clean the mules?
Wipe the exterior with a damp cloth and mild soap for general dirt. For the faux fur lining, gently spot clean with a damp cloth and a small amount of mild detergent, then air dry. Do not machine wash or tumble dry.
What does TECFOAM open foam insock mean?
`TECFOAM` refers to a specialized open foam material used in the insole. It's designed to provide superior cushioning and comfort, adapting to the shape of your foot for a supportive feel throughout the day.
Do these mules offer good grip?
Yes, the PVC outsole is equipped with angled lugs specifically designed to provide excellent grip and stability on various surfaces, enhancing safety whether indoors or out.
What material are the mules made from?
The primary material is polyester, which contributes to their waterproof properties and durability, while the lining is made from warm faux fur.
Are they true to size?
Regatta footwear typically runs true to size. We recommend ordering your usual UK shoe size for the best fit. > Info needed: [specific recommendation if sizing differs from standard]
Troubleshooting
My feet feel cold despite the faux fur lining.
Ensure you are wearing appropriate socks for the ambient temperature. While the lining is warm, extreme cold may require thicker socks. Also, check that the mules fit snugly but not too tightly, as restricted circulation can lead to cold feet.
The mules feel slippery on certain surfaces.
Inspect the PVC outsole for any build-up of dirt, mud, or debris, especially within the angled lugs, and clean thoroughly. Excessive wear on the outsole can also reduce grip; if the lugs are significantly worn down, replacement might be needed.
The faux fur lining looks matted or flattened.
Gently brush the faux fur with a soft-bristled brush (like a clothes brush or a soft toothbrush) to restore its loft and appearance. Avoid excessive pressure or pulling on the fibres.
Water seems to be getting inside, despite being waterproof.
While the mules are waterproof from the base, their open-back design means that water can enter from the top if splashed or submerged above the footbed line. Ensure the water ingress is not from above. Check for any visible damage to the material or seams that might compromise the waterproof barrier.
Mules feel too loose or keep slipping off.
Ensure you have selected the correct UK size 8. Mules are designed for easy on/off, but should not feel excessively loose. Consider wearing slightly thicker socks if they are marginally too big, or if you prefer a snugger fit for specific activities. If too loose, the size might be incorrect.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup
Getting started with your Regatta Risley Mules is simple:
- Unpack: Remove the mules from their packaging.
- Inspect: Briefly check for any transit damage or manufacturing imperfections.
- Wear: Simply slip your feet into the mules. Ensure a comfortable fit, allowing your heel to rest naturally at the back.
Compatibility
These mules are designed for adult women and are compatible with a wide range of casual attire. Their versatile design makes them suitable for:
- Indoor wear: As a comfortable house shoe or slipper.
- Outdoor casual: For walks, garden tasks, running errands, or light outdoor socialising.
- Cooler weather: The warm lining makes them ideal for autumn, winter, or cooler spring days.
Care & Maintenance
Proper care will extend the life and appearance of your Regatta Risley Mules:
- Cleaning the Exterior: For general dirt, wipe the surface with a damp cloth. For more stubborn marks, use a mild soap solution and a soft brush, then wipe clean with a damp cloth.
- Cleaning the Faux Fur Lining: Gently spot clean the faux fur with a damp cloth and a very small amount of mild detergent. Avoid saturating the faux fur. Allow to air dry completely.
- Drying: If the mules get wet, allow them to air dry naturally at room temperature. Do not use direct heat sources like radiators or hairdryers, as this can damage the materials.
- Storage: Store in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight when not in use. Avoid crushing the faux fur lining.
- Waterproofing Maintenance: While waterproof, regular cleaning helps maintain the material's integrity. If you notice a reduction in waterproofing over time, consider using a footwear-specific waterproofing spray suitable for synthetic materials. > Info needed: [specific recommendation for waterproofing spray if any from manufacturer]
- Avoid Harsh Chemicals: Do not use bleach, strong solvents, or abrasive cleaners, as these can damage the material and colour.
