Mules are shoes with no strap around the heel and often have a closed toed. Owing to the numerous choices available and how comfortable and easy they are to wear, mules are very popular among both men and women. These shoes come with or without heels, in a number of fabrics and designs from plain to vivid patterns. They can be used for any occasion and may have low heels, high heels, or chunky heels.
The name mule owes its origin to the ancient Roman shoe called “calceus mulleus”. This red shoe was favoured by senators and other dignitaries. More popular as an indoor shoe style, mules gained popularity as outdoor footwear around the 1950s, when Marilyn Monroe wore them.
Despite a host of other footwear styles that have come and gone, mules have retained their popularity. The reason for this is comfort. Mules, owing to their key strapless feature, are more comfortable to wear than many other shoe styles. This backless footwear serves as the ideal shoe for any occasion. A flat mule is the most comfy indoor option, while mules with high heels in a plain colour are well suited for office wear.
For women, a pair of versatile mules is nearly impossible to resist! They are comfortable and offer an elegant and stylish look. They go well with short skirts, long skirts and trousers and can easily be worn with tights.
Available for men and women, as well as children, mules have had a recent resurgence in popularity with new styles continually available. Match your mules with your outfit and occasion and the right pair can make a great style statement.
