While I do love a good Moscow Mule, I have been loving a different type of mule lately. It seems this Summer is the season of the mule in footwear. If you’re a shorter girl like me or you just like having a bit of a heel to elongate the leg, than the mule is the way to go in the Summer. I know wedges will give you more height, but I personally find them clunky and awkward.

It seems that so many Summer activities take place on grass or sand or god forbid, cobblestone and when you’re trying to look chic and not fall flat on your face, stilettos just won’t do. If you’re confident in a block heel, then honey go for it, but you’ll find me in a mule all season. Below you’ll find some of the best choices available at the moment, many of which are on sale.

My personal fave is this amazing tropical number from No. 21! I can’t wait to rock this on the grass of the Concourse d’Elegance in Pebble Beach in August or on the pier in Malibu. It’s on a huge markdown right now as well- perfect timing. If you wear them while drinking a moscow mule, I hear it’s triple points. If you’re riding a mule you win grand champion.
