Shoes without backs

In the spring-summer season, the leading footwear brands offer fashion trends a new trend: shoes with an open heel. It's not about slippers and beach flip flops , but about real shoes that can be worn at gala events and parties. The name of shoes without a backdrop sounds to our ears quite exotic and is pronounced "mule" (from the Latin "mulleus" - thinker). Historians of fashion argue that earlier mules were worn by Romans who studied philosophy and other sciences. Later, soft shoes without backs took root in the East and Europe, where they were called "babushi".

Today shoes with an open heel are often referred to as "clogs".

The lineup

At the moment, mules are represented by many brands. Louis Vuitton released shoes with a denim top and a wooden sole, Dries van Noten - fabric models like the sheiks, Marc by Marc Jacobs - exquisite slippers on heels, and Rochas Resort - stylish shoes made of brown leather.

Depending on the design features, mules and clogs can be conditionally divided into groups:

All these models perfectly complement the summer wardrobe and can be used in everyday and strict outfits.

With what to wear women's shoes without a back?

Depending on the model of shoes, it can be combined with different outfits. Classic sharp-nosed mules on the hairpin are desirable to be worn with trousers and strict skirts. Sabot on thick soles will suit for dresses in ethno style, and textile shoes with rich embroidery will be a good addition to the evening image. The only thing that should be abandoned is from jeans with a long leg. They will constantly get stuck between the heel and shoes, which will cause a lot of inconvenience.
