defwax2 Posted July 13, 2009 Posted July 13, 2009 My wife likes to wear mules which she finds comfortable and it looks great. Some of her friend cant wear them for to long but she find she can wear them all the time.
k6ps Posted July 14, 2009 Posted July 14, 2009 Hi, My wife sometimes wears mules, and i like them too. Myself i wear mostly the clog-style mules. By the way, there is another thread about mules here, which you might be interested to check --> http://www.hhplace.org/everybody/947-mules_slides.html Happy Heeling k6ps

Greatings Barbara :-) I don't own any high heel mules yet but I would like to try (They look nice) I was wondering if they tend to slip out of your feet while walking. Do you need to walk a different way while wearing mules compared to regular heels ? See you
barbara Posted July 18, 2009 Posted July 18, 2009 Hi Danielp6406, If the shoes fit right and are the right size I dont have problem keeping mules on. Some are of course easier than others.The only pair that I havent been able to walk in is a pair of 5 inch,red patent mules I bought from Fredericks. Its a shame too because there really pretty.
Kris Posted July 19, 2009 Posted July 19, 2009 I have several pairs of mules and also a couple of pairs of clogs. I love wearing mules because it is so easy to slip them on and off. I find them to be as easy to wear and as comfortable as any other shoe as long as they are the right size and fit properly.
danielp6406 Posted July 19, 2009 Posted July 19, 2009 ...Some are of course easier than others... Hello again Barbara and thank you for your reply :-) May I ask you which one are easier to walk and why ? (I guess lower heel and lower platform ?) Would you know which one is best just by looking at them ? Would be nice if you could post a picture of your preferred mule (or a website link) so I have an idea of what to look for next time I go to the store. And I agree with you when you say it is difficult to walk with your 5" mules from Frederick's. I must admit It would be the same for me (4" is the maximum height I can handle without platform) Thank you !
HappyFeat Posted July 20, 2009 Posted July 20, 2009 I don't own any high heel mules yet but I would like to try (They look nice) I was wondering if they tend to slip out of your feet while walking. Do you need to walk a different way while wearing mules compared to regular heels ? See you Daniel, I am by no means an expert on mules, but recently I have been out in a few different pair. I have not had my foot slip out, but occasionally I have had my heel come close to slipping sideways off the shoe, so I do tens to take deliberate steps when wearing them. Also, I tend to walk a bit different - smaller, slower steps and I also curl my toes a very little bit, which seems to reduce the shoes slapping a lot against my foot. I have a pair of thong mules, with a strap between the toes, and have noticed that gravity pushing forward on the strap can be a bit irritating to my feet. I will say that mules are not my favorite shoes and I do not plan on wearing them often, but are a nice option in my wardrobe. Style is built from the ground up!
BobHH Posted July 20, 2009 Posted July 20, 2009 I have lots of stiletto mules/slides and like them better than anything else. They need to be a little tight so they don't come off. I have also found some brands fit so that my heels go off the inside of the shoe, especially my right foot, for some reason. Ellies are about the only ones that don't do that, and maybe Karos. I have had to put some foam padding inside the right shoe to keep them straight on Pleasers, and even on Shoes USA. It has to do with how they shape the strap across the foot. And Jante I can't wear at all. I also like wedges, Lucious (Pleaser) and Karo, and also Gabriella Rocha. I wear a 12 or 13 in women's sizes, preferably the latter, and wear mini platforms with a 5 or 5 1/2 inch heel. They are much more comfortable than closed shoes for me.
Dawn HH Posted July 21, 2009 Posted July 21, 2009 I have purposely stayed away from slides, mules, and shoes of that design because I felt that they were too unstable for me. Cheers--- Dawn HH High Heeled Boots Forever!

Greatings HappyFeat and BobHH: Thank you for sharing your mule wearing experience with us. I see women wearing mules without any "slapping" effect and I am curious to know why... As mentionned by BobHH, they need to be "a little tight" (I don't like shoes which are too tight...) Barbara seems to be an expert in wearing mules, so I hope she will have the final suggestion on this issue (Barbara, please read my post # 8 on previous page.

tonkavette Posted December 13, 2009 Posted December 13, 2009 Love to see a woman dangle her shoes while wearing nylons, and low cut shoes from lovelypumps
Dawn HH Posted December 13, 2009 Posted December 13, 2009 Barbara:-) Do you wear hose when wearing your mules? I suspect that they would make keeping them on a bit harder to do. Cheers--- Dawn HH High Heeled Boots Forever!
roniheels Posted December 18, 2009 Posted December 18, 2009 I just have never been totally comfortable wearing mules or slides. I prefer pumps or boots.
pussyinboots Posted December 19, 2009 Posted December 19, 2009 I'm with Barbara on this. I took a look through my heels collection not so long ago and almost 50% of my stiletto heeled shoes are mules, or clog mules. I think they are THE most feminine of high heels - they compliment my small feet and look sexy. They are perfect for Summer, evenings out and parties. If they fit correctly they are not too difficult to walk in - there's an art to it - and it involves the use of your toes! I have mules from 3" up to 6". Granted - over 5" and I'm teetering....but then under those circumstances, I usually have my husband's arm to hold onto!

Heel-Lover Posted December 19, 2009 Posted December 19, 2009 Hi, There is a knack to wearing backless heels. I find the higher a mule the more the shoe stays on my foot, the lower ones I have to curl my toes a bit to keep them on when I walk, otherwise I run the risk of walking out of them and leaving a shoe behind. I definitely have to walk a little slower in lower mules, than I would in any other high heeled shoes for this reason. But they are so much fun..... Heel-Lover
