Mule shoes are backless shoes often closed-toe, worn by men and women (though mostly women). They can have high, sleek stiletto, low or chunky heels. This backless shoe style, dated way back to the 16th century got some popularity in the early 50s to late 90s and reemerged in the late 90s / early 2000s in it’s open toe form called slide and lots of designers gave the backless shoe a youthful makeover.

You might remember seeing lots of these shoes on Sarah Jessica Parker as Carrie Bradshaw in Sex and the city. These shoes were seen on lots of fashionistas during fashion weeks and events in 2013 and 2014 and have remained in the fashion scene since then…
Growing up in the 90s i wore mule shoes especially to church and events with my parents, I didn’t fancy them then because i felt they were for older women and my mum was making me wear old women’s fashion. With the new improved mule shoes, i don’t see ‘old fashion’ anymore, i see stylish. There’s definitely a style for anyone, you might think not everyone can pull of mule shoes look but you never know till you try!
Reasons To Get In On The Mule Shoes Fashion Trend
- Sense of ease: Easy to slide on and off with fresh air refreshing your feet, also gives your outfit a laid back touch just like the ‘cool-kids’.
- Tone down a busy outfit: Wear mule shoes with leather, fur, fringed or heavily designed pieces.
- Use mule shoes to complete a chic look: Wear leopard print mule shoes, embellished mule shoes or mixed designed types.
- Wear bright colored mule shoes as the main accessory and the object of focus in your outfit.
- Break the ‘mules on pants’ streak by wearing them with skirts.
- Wear mule shoes with uniquely structured design and steal the show!
If i’m to try this shoe trend as a grown up now, i will most likely pick a chunky style like the middle blue skirt photo above with pants or a pointed heel type like Selena Gomez’ or Rihanna’s with a skirt.
