Above please find my top three picks for Spring Clog/Mules, plus a furry friend. Those of you who follow me on Twitter may know from my occasional shoe tweets that I have been on the hunt for a wooden soled shoe lately, but most have been either too high in heel height, or too clonky for my taste. The following meet all my criteria, with the (finally!) addition of an ankle strap to keep them on. I loved lots of the platform mule clogs from last season, but without an ankle strap, they seemed too dangerous to wear.
Criteria for judging as follows:
Overall Shape - not too clogg-y. No bulbous toes.
Versatility - capris, skirts (full or pencil) jeans and leggings wearable?
Heel Height and Angle - Must elongate leg but facilitate strutting. I like an acute angle between the shank to the heel. I do NOT like a heel that's perpendicular to the ground.
Heel Shape - I like a tapered heel. I do not like clonky or square heels or heels that are too skinny and tall. Must accentuate leg. Must accentuate foot.
Construction - I walk a lot. Can you handle it?
And the winner is.....
These - I like both colors. But more than these colors, I would also love a chocolate brown.
Runner Up
These - just a leeetle too heavy and tall to wear really often. But still quite elegant.
Mr Mule? Do you have any thing to add? Naaaay? Well okay. Thank you. That is all.
