Marvelous Mule Shoe Trends

Footwear designs continue to expand in the comfortable-yet-chic category. A fashion favorite thathas long been a staple and is having a serious comeback this season is the mule. The marvelousmule.

Simply put, a mule is a backless shoe, often-but not always-with a closed toe. Believe it or not, high-heeled mules were a popular indoor shoe style during the 18th century. In the early 1950s, MarilynMonroe popularized the shoe. Many historians say that only a closed-toe, backless shoe is a truemule, and any slip-on style with an open toe should be in a different footwear category.
