I never got that. I know it's because they slip on and are backless but what does that have to do with a mule? I guess i should Google it. I guess I'm not really that interested.
Anyway, these are great. Good heel height. Lower than the Rollatini (is that a pasta shape, by the way?) pump I just reviewed a minute or two ago. Perfect for when may pants get shorter - when I gain weight my pants get shorter. It's an amazing phenomenon of science that no one ever talks about. But, I need shoes with a lower heel when I gain weight. These are also cute with skirts, which also get shorter when you gain weight.
As with all my Aerosoles, these are super-comfy, forgiving of my flaws and good-looking. Why can't I find a man like this?
I recommend them for work or play.
Thank you, Aerosoles.
