Shoes FAQ

Common Questions

Should I keep the shoe box or remove it?
Removing the shoe box saves 200-400g per pair, which reduces shipping costs by $3-8. Keep the box only if you collect or resell. Most buyers remove the box for personal wear.
How do I know which shoe batch is best?
Check the spreadsheet notes and recent QC photos. Popular batches like PK, LJR, and M batch are consistently reviewed on Reddit. Search the batch code plus "MuleBuy" for latest feedback.
Do MuleBuy shoes run true to size?
No. Factory sizing varies. Always measure your insole length and compare to the size chart. Most sneakers require sizing up 0.5 from your normal size.
