Leather mules have existed since prehistory but were only popularised in the Middle Ages, especially among the Egyptians, Greeks, and Romans. During the 17th century, both men and women favored wedge mules for their comfort and ornate look. Later, in the late 17th and 18th centuries, however, high-heeled mules became widely popular among women.
Mules have made their way back into fashion due to their elegance and comfort. People’s favorite Marilyn Monroe was seen flaunting a high-heeled mule, further validating its status. Currently, they can be found in the form of flat heels, plain finishes, and high heels.
Well-crafted leather slippers and mules bring out a luxurious style that ensures the long life of your shoes. They are available in many styles of heels and backstraps. In this blog, we’ll break down what makes leather mules stand out, how to style them for different occasions, and why they deserve a spot in every modern wardrobe.
Mules, slippers, and other slip-ons differ in feature and style, but they all have one thing in common: they are all easily wearable. Mules have a rich history, but their modernised versions provide an elegant fashion statement while managing your comfort. On the other hand, slippers, loafers, and sandals are a staple choice. They provide not only style but also comfort and familiarity.
While we suggest you choose mules or slippers based on what suits your aesthetic, there are definite pros and cons to each choice.
Mules are widely preferred because of the versatility of their styles, but that is not all. They are easy to slip into and can be worn inside and outside, and provide the utmost comfort. Leather slip-ons are essential for people with heel pain.
However, not all mules are convenient for many activities as they lack support. Slippers, like mules, also provide comfort and come in various styles. But, they are mostly used as indoor shoes.

Leather is an investment, as well as a fashion statement. The durability of leather adds value to your purchase while also ensuring comfort and long-term benefits. In case of any wear and tear, it is also easy and cost-effective to repair leather shoes, thus extending their lifespan further.
Like any other shoes, mules also need proper care. It is best to dust them before and after every wear and clean them with a damp cloth. You can use soap if there are tough spots to be cleaned, but clean the soap with damp clothes, as it is best to avoid water exposure. Store them in a clean, cool, and dry place away from the sunlight. Make sure your storage space is devoid of heat and humidity to prevent cracking of the shoes.
