Don't let the shape of a classic mule deter you. While its slant may appear exaggerated, the sturdiness of its heel (usually a block style) provides maximum comfort. And we don't have to tell you these shoes look cool. They finish everything from culottes to maxi dresses with undeniable polish. Even the designs that come embroidered with flowers or in bright neon shades are sleek and uncomplicated. You just slip 'em on and head out the door, retro shades optional to achieve that '70s boho flair. While there are a whole range of heights to choose from, you've also got to decide whether you like a closed toe or a sandal, and an ankle-strap or a criss-cross upper. Read on to explore the latest shoe to trend this season, and find the right one for you.
