Wide-Fit Mules Shopping Guide

Classic menswear-inspired loafers walked so mules could run—and boy, do they run. OK, so you can’t actually run in these shoes, but who needs to, anyway? Wide-fit mules have enough going on in their favor. Not only are they absolutely stylish and oh-so-trendy, but mules come in an endless variety of styles, making them ideal for just about any occasion. High-heel or flat, animal print or classic neutrals, luxury or affordable—Mules do it all.

In essence, wide-fit mules are simply wide-fit loafers without the back. (So novel, right?) They’re not quite a slide either, though. Mules are on their own level—and it’s high-time we paid them some respect. Though terms like “grandma shoe” have been thrown around (courtesy one clueless younger brother who shan’t be named), mules have a charm not so easily stripped by name-calling. Sure, grandmas wear them—but so should everyone else.

And, quite frankly, grandparent-esque styles are having a comeback, anyway. Sweater vests, maximalist knits, and matching cardigan sets can be seen on nearly every influencer’s Instagram feed—so nothing should stop you from giving a pair of wide-fit mules a try.

From classic flat mules in neutral hues you can wear every single day to statement-making heeled mules perfect for heading out on the town with your BFFs, there are so many gorgeous wide-fit mules from which to choose. Each is cuter than the last, so feel free to stock your wardrobe with this can’t-miss shoe. Your grandma and trendy influencers both approve.
