Mule Footwear

 

Mules were first seen in the 18th century and went in and out of fashion over the decades. Although it did not enjoy a good reputation during the early years, they were helped tremendously by a very popular star of the sixties, Marilyn Monroe. Mules or slides (as they are sometimes known) are backless shoes with a rounded and closed toe.

 

Mules have no specific height and can be found as flats, wedges, heels and platforms. They have evolved a little over time and can now be found in open-toed versions that are referred to as slides. As with all shoes, mules can be found in various colors and prints and heights. These shoes are very comfortable and easy to wear with most outfits.

From narrow, pointed toes to Mary Jane styles, mules are quite trendy for the modern woman. Many women prefer mules because of the ease of slipping them on and off. For office wear, pairing a patent leather green pair of pointed mules with a light green suit would certainly make you stand out! High heeled mules or kitten heeled mules would look good with skirts and trousers. A pencil skirt worn with pointed mules would help to give the illusion of long legs.

 

You can also find loafer mules with flat heels which would be perfect for casual wear. You could wear them with jeans, Capri pants, rolled up jeans or denim skirts. Loafer style mules can be found in leather and other synthetic materials but the ones in leather are the most comfortable. However, as with all shoes, it is a good idea to try them on before buying them. Rounded toes may be preferable over pointed ones for your feet and you would not want to find this out after wearing them to an event.

 

Mary Jane style wedged mules are also a favorite among women. They offer the same advantages of a wedged shoe but offer the flexibility of slipping them on and off when desired. Many shoe designers have variations on the mule and some of them have based a majority of their collection on these variations.

 

Embellishments such as buckles, optional straps for the back of the legs, ribbons and pointed heels can all be found in most shoe stores. When deciding to buy mules, try to match your outfit to your shoe. Slides are a great option as they are open-toed and let the feet breathe. However, not many women are comfortable wearing these having been used to closed shoes. Mules in black, brown, grey and tan are great choices and they can be matched with most colors. Fabric covered mules are also a great option when paired with shorts or jeans. Denim mules look good when teamed with denim skirts or cropped jeans and give a cohesive look to your outfit. If you want a contrast, then a bright colored mule would be the answer. Or you could even try a polka dot version in pink!

 

With the many options being offered both in shoe stores and through online shopping, shoe choices are endless. Try to shortlist the color you want and together with your shoe budget you will be sure to find the perfect pair of mules for you! Visit https://dooeys.com/
