Product Insights
The Maurine Grained Leather Mules by Flatted are a secure, flexible flat shoe made from unlined suede and leather, requiring no break-in and keeping feet cool and dry. The grained leather masks scuffs and ages evenly, while the flat heel and center seam provide a natural stride. However, the footbed offers minimal arch support, suited for casual wear only. Handcrafted in Spain from LWG-certified leather, they offer value at $295 CAD compared to similar styles, though they are currently out of stock and fit true to size contrary to typical Flattered sizing.
Verified claims
- Sizing
- Flattered’s product page states the Maurine fits true to size, though the product description notes sizing may run small in pointed-toe styles.
- Fit
- The unlined suede and flat heel create a secure, flexible fit that needs no break-in.
- Arch support
- The leather footbed is flat with minimal arch support, suited for casual wear.
- Comfort
- Soft against bare feet, no break-in, and keeps feet cool.
- Heel height
- Flat 5 mm heel neutralizes foot tilt, reducing heel slip.
- Lightweight flexibility
- Unlined leather and low-profile sole make the shoe lightweight and flexible for a natural stride.
- Breathability
- Unlined leather and suede interior keep feet cool and dry even when worn sockless.
- Retention
- The suede interior adds friction against the foot, and the leather molds over time for a personalized, slip-resistant fit.
- Scratch resistance
- Grained leather masks scuffs and creases over time.
- Wear and aging
- Grained leather masks scuffs and creases, and ages with even, uniform color.
- Storage
- Cedar shoe trees after each wear preserve the mule's shape and help prevent the back from collapsing.
- Care
- Grained leather needs only damp cloth and occasional conditioning.
- Heritage
- Made in Elda, Spain, a town with a 200-year-old shoemaking tradition.
- Durability
- Some buyers report the Maurine offers good durability for office wear.
- Leather sourcing
- Upper and lining leather are LWG-certified.
- Manufacturing origin
- From family-run factories in Spain with a 200-year shoemaking tradition.
- Unlined construction
- Unlined construction eliminates break-in and enhances flexibility.
- Provenance and ethics
- Made in Spain with LWG-certified leather.
- Leather aging
- Grained leather hides scuffs and develops an even patina.
- Value
- Spanish-made mule for $69.95 CAD, less than the $72 Quince mule.
- Sustainability
- LWG-certified leather, unlike comparable mules.
- Styling
- Works from office to weekend thanks to pointed toe and flat heel.
- Suede footbed care
- Pre-treat the unlined suede footbed with a suede protector spray before first wear to minimize water spots and staining, then brush after use to revive the nap.
- Design aesthetic
- The unlined construction removes visual bulk, giving the Maurine a pared-back Scandinavian silhouette that reads as a refined casual staple rather than a structured dress shoe.

Mixed quality feedback on Flattered shoes and bags
The exterior suede was beautiful and luxe, but the inside of the shoe felt like the cheap cardboard of $10 H&M shoes. They’re horribly uncomfortable and don’t look like they’ll last.

Flattered shoes praised for durability and style
My favourite brands are Flattered (Sweden) and Bobbies (France), both produce in Europe and have super beautiful long-lasting shoes. Bought my first Flattered shoe I think 2018, and they are still looking gorgeous with many wears to the office:)
