I had been looking for a pair of brown mules for so long when I stumbled on these.  I have an 8yr old pair of Aerosols that were so comfortable and I have never found anything like them. In the winter when we occasionally wear long pants/jeans, I want something that I can put on and take off easily. In Hawaii, we take our shoes off as we enter the house, so I love this type of slip on and off shoe. The Ros Hommerson Mule is the most comfortable shoe I've ever purchased. I loved them the second I put them on.  No breaking in needed.  I would have bought a black pair too, but they didn't have my size.
