15 Open-Toe Mules You Need This Spring

The throwback style is getting a warm-weather makeover

by Jenna Igneri

Mules are the ultimate lazy girl shoe. They not only look good, but they’re easy to walk in (though height varies, they’re usually seen in a chunkier, lower heel) and pretty effortless. Whether in a tall heel or flat, these backless slip-ons are super simple to slide on and off. A staple of the '70s, that has reappeared in the recent years, they’ll become your go-to choice for all of the picnics in the park you'll have coming up.

This season, we’re specifically seeing open-toe styles (making them even more wearable during the summer), featured in a number of heights and fabrics. From suede flats to denim heels, there’s something out there for you—all available in a range of price points too.

We rounded up the 15 cutest springtime pairs, so you can walk with comfort and ease this season—while still looking cute, of course. Your feet will thank you.
