What Do Women's Mule Shoes Look Like?
Mule shoes have no constraints at the back and no fastenings around the heel too.
You can just slip in your feet in your mule shoe.
What sets them apart from all other shoes is that they are very comfy, stylish, and versatile. You can easily pair them with almost any attire in your wardrobe. No other shoe gives you such freedom.
So, let's start our blog with the story of the mule shoe!
The Legend Of The Mighty Mule!
It may not seem like it, but mules have been around for quite a while now. Surprisingly they have a two thousand old history! Would you have thought of that?
So, the word Mule comes from the Roman phrase, "mulleuscalceus," describing the red and purple shoes of the three Roman senators and later worn by other important people.
But the presence of mules is felt from the 16th century when they were popular as bedroom shoes usually worn with dressing gowns. But soon after, in the 17th century, wealthy ladies of the French court started donning them under their ball gowns.
More evidence is found in the Jean-Honore Fragonard painting, "The Swing," which shows a woman removing her mules while looking at a male admirer.
But the modern-day world recognizes them as Ms. Marylin Monroe's favorites. She could often be spotted wearing mules with her frilled skirts and high-waist trousers.
I guess the comfort and fashionable look of mules made her choose them as her go-to footwear. They are the ultimate comfort shoes for women, if you ask me.
And their latest popularity boost came from Carrie Bradshaw flaunting her mules and stylish clothes in "Sex in the city."
Why Mules? What Are The Benefits Of Opting Mules?
If you are considering mules, the first reason that should draw you to them is they are synonymous with comfort. I feel they are the best work shoes for women. Their design is very comfy, and the materials used, soft leather and suede, only further enhance the comfort.
What's more, many ladies have health issues like Achilles Tendonitis, etc. Ladies mules shoes can end their miseries as they do not have a back constraint. So, nothing rubs or irritates your tendons as you wear them. And owing to their comfortable design, they are feet-healthy with or without a feet issue!
Next up, they are versatile! You can pair them with any attire and wear them in any weather until it's not too cold to wear half-open footwear.
And lastly, you would love it if comfort comes with style, won't you? And mules are that rare coincidence. They are comfortable, feet-healthy, and stylish, all at the same time! No wonder they strike me first when somebody asks me about business shoes for women!
So, next, let us learn how to style these fantastic pairs of shoes.
