- Is the Ivanna comfortable for all-day wear?
- The foam insole and sheepskin lining are built for cushioning, and the low heel-to-platform gap keeps the foot fairly level. It is a slip-on, so long walks are less comfortable than in a strapped shoe.
- Does the mule stay on the foot?
- It is backless with no strap, so it relies on fit across the instep. Shoppers with narrow feet may find the heel lifts as they walk.
- How does the platform affect sizing?
- The 1-inch platform and 1.75-inch heel add height but do not change length. Most buyers take their usual US size; those between sizes may size up for the open back.
- What is the upper and lining made of?
- The upper is leather, the lining is sheepskin and the insole is foam. The outsole is rubber.
- Can I wear it in warm weather?
- Yes, but the sheepskin lining holds warmth. It is better suited to spring, fall and air-conditioned indoor wear than to hot outdoor days.
- How does it compare with a flat mule?
- It gives more height and a cushioned footbed than a flat mule, at the cost of extra weight and a higher chance of the heel slipping.
