Gucci Princetown Mules (with and without fur) -does anyone have?

[jimmie staton]

Hey mule lovers,
Has anyone heard of
Gucci doing fake fur for their mules from now on? Or is this old news? When I was talking to a Nordstrom shoe associate, they said that Gucci will now be making fake fur mules and not real fur. Has this already happened?

Also, any advice on sizing?
I wear Gucci aces in 37.5
Jordaans in 37.5 (probably could do 38)
Should I get 38 or 38.5 for the Princetowns?

Thanks!!

Hi, I know they are not doing fur, but on the mules, I think they use kangaroo fur... they will probably do a synthetic fur from here on out... the price will be the same or rise... lol.
As far as sizing... I strongly suggest going into the Gucci store and try both sizes on, let a SA tell you what looks right, and you will be able to see it yourself if it looks right for you. Also depends on the shape of your foot... you don't want your meat on the street (where the back of your foot hangs over the end of the shoe). And depending on the amount of fur on the shoe, every shoe is different when it comes to the amount of fur that is applied to the shoe. The fur might cover and/or compensate for the half size differential. Good Luck and happy shopping !

They use lambs wool for the mules with “fur” at least the ones they sell now or in last little while.


I took the same size for both with and without if that helps

Oh really? Kangaroo fur?! I thought it was lambs wool. I get why designers are straying away from exotics and furs but I feel like fake fur would get so hot and sweaty [emoji51]

Thanks for the advice, yes I’ll try and go into the boutique and try them on. I agree that heel-hanging-off-the-end is not a good look and I have seen some mules have different hairdos between styles...

I’m pretty sure I wanna get a fur pair...even though it’s not so practical living in a rainy city. But being a simple dresser, I love shoes with a bit of flare! Now to decide between the black with fur or black with stars/bees with fur....decisions decisions [emoji848][emoji848]

It is lambs wool not kangaroo

The best reason to go is to get the best looking pair like you said [emoji4] I ordered a pair and they were so funny looking, almost made me not like the style. Went to the store and feel in love despite my fiancé thinking they were absurd way to spend money [emoji23][emoji23]

Thanks, I was in the same boat. Saw these a couple of years ago and couldn’t get on board with the style, but now I can’t stop thinking about them. Just love the simplicity yet functionality of it (well, as functional as furry mules can get [emoji57])
I know my husband is gonna he like what the heck is that?! [emoji849]

You are correct... they are wool... but when they first came out, which is when I purchased them, Gucci used Australian Kangaroo fur (in Australia, kangaroo is all over the place, like deer is over here... still doesn't make it right, but was assured that they were harvested responsibly... what ever that means). I also have the lamb, and YES, sometimes the fur pattern, amount and look varies. The Gucci fur slipper is not as sweaty as they look. I wear them without socks, and sometimes with Gucci socks in the winter, spring, summer and fall and they are ungodly comfortable, and a head turner, especially the Princetown Slipper with the Double G. I never worn mine on a rainy or snow day, but I think a comb and a hair dryer could fix the fur's hairstyle...lol.
Now if you get the black with stars and bees, you will still pine over the fur. Get both... I am an enabler of sorts. Enjoy !

Thanks J!m for your advice! Super helpful. I think I’m pretty sure I want to get a fur pair. Looks so cozy and comfy and I love that it makes a statement. I just hope I can get away with wearing them at work! Haha. I’ll probably get the bee and star one with the fur. I’m trying to imagine myself with a comb and hairdryer grooming my shoes when I get caught in the rain.

i tried my normal size in the regular...and they fit.
for the fur version...i got the half size up....

i actually like wearing them without socks....it's not as sweaty as i thought it would be....but it's def an item i would not buy second handed...lol

You're welcome ! You won't be disappointed. Now, depending on your job, your co-workers and your employer, wearing them to work is up to you. I wonder if you can use a hair conditioner on the Gucci slippers with the fur will help groom them ? lol

Hey all! I was gifted a pair of white Princetown loafers for my birthday and am 1) planning on exchanging for black but also 2) unsure if I'd get more use with Brixton or Jordaan? Do we think the Princetown is going to go out of style and less "classic"? I do love them as they seem different and living in NYC, summer is coming up soon! Do you all get a lot of wear out of the Princetown through the seasons? Thanks all!

Go with either the Jordaan or the Princetown. Warmer months you’ll get more use out of the Princetown and cooler months you’ll use the Jordaan I’d think. I don’t like the brixton, the leather is flimsy IMO.

Nice gift... what is it that makes your heart beat faster ? The Jordaan or the Brixton ? Then that is the one you go for.

Thanks for the responses, everyone! Went with the Princetowns in black. Love them and can’t wait to wear!
