Crocs and mules go together like peanut butter and jelly, and now the rubber clog manufacturer is taking that incredibly literally with a peanut butter-toned slip-on, poised for fall evenings and any number of pumpkin-infused beverage outings.

Inspired by maritime aesthetics, Crocs' Axle Suede Mule is the wearable embodiment of a classic clog made for the coastal elite. You know, if they were to wear that sort of thing.

This elevated take on a classic Crocs clog is kitted with a genuine cowhide suede upper that adds a touch of sophistication to the humble slip-on.

The aesthetic differences don't stop there, as the Axle Suede Mule also sports thin beaded laces for a little extra razzle dazzle.

Elsewhere, the soft mule sports reinforced double stitching around the upper and Crocs' GripRite lightweight traction outsole, making the simple shoe quite the wearable slip-on. Now, obviously, shoes with no real backing and weighty rubber compositions aren't the pinnacle of stability.

Crocs mitigates some of that shaky discrepancy with a grippy outsole that can hold its own with some of the more rugged clogs out there. What are these rugged clogs we speak of? Glad you asked!

When Crocs isn't leading the backless summer charge, the clog disruptor is working on its hybrid shoe game with some of the most non-Crocs-looking-Crocs sneakers out there. At this point, what can't those kooky clog-makers do?
