How do you wear a heeled mule?
So, you’ve found the perfect pair of heeled mules but how do you walk in them? Walking gracefully in these chic shoes can seem a bit daunting, but with the right posture and technique, you’ll be a pro in no time. Firstly, it’s important to make sure your heeled mules shoes are sitting correctly. Ensure that your heel is in the back of the shoe and your foot feels secure. The lower your heel is, the easier it should be to walk in them. Next, keep your core engaged as you go from one step to another. By engaging and tightening your abdominal muscles and glutes, this will help maintain balance and improve the stability of each step you take. This simple trick will ensure that you not only walk more gracefully but also prevent any falls along the way! Women’s shoes can often be uncomfortable after wearing them all day but heeled mules are perfect for taking you from day to night without the risk of sore feet when you finally climb into bed. Our Vivienne mules, which have a transparent block heel, provide lots of stability while still giving you height. Perfect for a night out. You’ll be strutting down city streets with ease!
Where should your heel sit in mules?

You don’t want your foot to slide forward as this can cause discomfort. The shoe should also not be too tight as this can restrict movement and pinch your toes. Some of the best elegant work shoes are heeled mules as they come in lots of shapes and heights. If you’re working all day but want to be comfortable opt for a lower heel height such as kitten heel mules.
