We May Never Be Over This Shoe Trend
There is always that one trend that doesn't quite feel trendy. It's not fleeting—you know you're in it for the long run. For some, it's high-waisted jeans or off-the-shoulder tops. But high on the list for us is open-toe heeled mules.
Sure, some people call them sandals, but no matter the name, we covet them all the same. Especially when paired with the other trends mentioned above. Not only is the shoe style incredibly comfortable, but it's also highly versatile. Whether you throw them on at the last minute or they are the statement piece of your outfit, the outcome is always the same: They look (and often feel) good. And despite everybody's different styling affinities, we believe that once the temperature rises above 70 degrees, these heeled mules are the first shoes you can't wait to take on a well-deserved stroll.
Ahead we've put together 15 open-toe heeled mules that will deepen your love for this trend. Feel free to get yourself a pair you'll wear for a while.
If this isn't true love, then what is?
