The must have foot wear trend of the moment is by far the Mule. Milking the ’90s style resurgence the Mule has definitely made a triumphant return to join the likes of the pool slide, undercut and the crop for spring/summer 2014.

Coming in a gazillian renditions of shapes and styles, from the wedge, to the chunky platform heel to the sleek stilletto, embellished with studs, stones, metals, gems, and jewels to prints, fur, leather, suede, cut outs – it can make you go a little crosseyed trying to decide what style to buy into.
