These Insanely Comfortable $80 Mules Are Quickly Taking Over the POPSUGAR Offices

One of the benefits of working at POPSUGAR is having so many stylish colleagues who are always willing to share fashion tips and product recommendations. Case in point: after spotting these Nine West Helmer Mules ($49-$79) on shopping editor Rebecca Brown, I accosted her for the details.

I bought them in metallic gold, loved them intensely, and had to go back for another pair — so I got them in white.

After sharing a photo of them in my Instagram story, a handful of colleagues in different locations, including director Lindsay Miller, messaged me asking for the make and model. More pairs have been purchased. The Helmer mules are now infiltrating POPSUGAR offices around the country; we've become the sisterhood of the traveling shoes!

If you're looking for an affordable way to get in on the mules trend, I highly recommend these. They're so comfortable (the heel is only two and a half inches), so sleek, and add instant polish to my T-shirt and jeans uniform. The on-trend pointy toe is dressy without being too formal, and they come in a variety of colors (and even a print). Shop them now, and don't blame us if you end up buying multiple pairs. Seriously, they're that good.
