The Ultimate Guide to Wearing Mules – Glam Radar

Easy to put on and take off, mules are some of the footwear that defies trends and tastes. Mules evolved from the European patten, which was a wooden sole that was strapped on over regular thin-soled shoes elevating the feet up off and keeping the shoes clean and dry. This practice began in the Middle Ages and continued until the early 20th century. Nowadays, mules have evolved into stylish and functional footwear that will make you comfortable and effortless. With so many choices among mules, you might want a little help in selecting the right style for your needs.

Mules can be stepped into and removed easily, as the foot simply slides in and out of the shoe. Nowadays, you may opt for mules with embellished details or avant-garde heels to dress up your simple outfits. There are also mules with open toes that will keep you more comfortable and breezy in warmer months. As with most shoes, mule uppers are mostly made of leather or fabric which is suitable for work and play, depending on the material and overall design of the shoes. Mules may resemble any traditional shoes with backs, including loafers.

A mule is perfect for casual situations where one might want to slip shoes on and off frequently. Mules with heels, asymmetric vamp, cap-toe style, and flat soles are great to make your casual outfits stylish and cool.  One of the best casual mules is the sneaker mule, which provides the comfort and cushioning of an athletic shoe with the ease of a slide. However, these shoes are not appropriate for most true athletic activities, as the feet could easily slide out of the shoes with any activity beyond walking.
