We’re making it easier than ever to find your size and you might notice that our US-to-European conversions have shifted slightly. The fit of this product hasn’t changed, so if you already have a pair you love, continue to order the same European size.

We advise taking a half-size up from the US-to-European conversion provided. The ideal fit for an open-back shoe like this will leave minimal space between your heel and the edge of the sole, even in the larger size.

Medium width is considered standard, so if you generally find standard widths comfortable in other shoes, we suggest taking a Medium. However, if you find that other shoes often pinch or feel too tight around the ball of your foot, the Wide is a fantastic option to try. It is made on a combination last, with the toe box being the only area that is wider. (It's also a great option to try if you have bunions.) The Narrow will be more narrow throughout the entirety of the shoes; it's a good option if you find your foot frequently slips or feels insecure in a standard width.

Our nappa Carmine Mules are made from a soft, Italian nappa leather. Nappa leather is permeable, so avoid exposure to water and rain. To maintain the sheen and finish over time, you can use a quality leather lotion. Our suede Carmine Mules are made from Italian suede, a surprisingly durable material. Marks and scuffs to the suede can be gently removed using a suede brush and cleaning spray, like those provided in our suede care kit. Regular treatment with a protectant spray can also help prevent signs of future wear.

The Carmine Mule has a similar fit to our City Sandal, though some customers prefer to size up in length in open-backed styles for additional length behind their heel.
