Heels Out for Summer — Why the Mule Is Having a Moment
#Muleboyz is a wave you should be on this summer. The Dropcast crew has been a part of this mulement for some time now—and it’s gaining so much backless traction that supporters have been sending them photos with #MuleBoyz.
The mule is the ideal hybrid footwear option for those looking to flaunt less foot, while still getting that breathability during the warmer weather. However, going backless gives more opportunity for you to add socks into the equation to create more depth in your fit. Just take a look at The Elder Statesman’s Holiday 2020 collection starring A$AP Nast and Ganna Bogden.
But don’t just take it from us — some of our favorite brands and influencers have hopped on the mule hype this summer cultivating a “mulement” on social media with the hashtag #MuleBoyz. Just take a look at Highsnobiety’s Noah Thomas and Jian Deleon’s Instagram Story to see all the hype.
To make it easier to find a mule that’s fit for you, we’ve rounded up the hottest no heelers available to shop right now. From Swedish masters Our Legacy, to outdoor wear brands such as Salomon.
Tokyo-based label Hender Scheme really steps up with this elegant woven leather option. Hand made in Japan, this is a pair that’s perfect for the formal summer occasion. While only footwear aficionados may be able to distinguish the mule from the clog, we’ve picked out this certified Swedish classic from Troentorps, which you can cop for under $100.
For those searching for a more sport-led slip on, look no further than this choice from New Balance, packing ultra-comfortable Fresh Foam cushioning and a light mesh upper. Treat your feet.
