Merisa Slip-On Mules

The Merisa Slip-On Mules sit at the top of this range on price, and the case for them is proportion. The vamp is cut a little longer and the line a little cleaner than most mules manage, which is the difference between a shoe that looks considered and one that looks like a slipper you left the house in. Nothing decorative has been added anywhere.

Three colours, apricot, black and brown, cover soft, sharp and warm respectively. The size run is the widest of the mules we carry at 35 through 42, which matters in a backless shoe because there is no strap to take up slack at the top end. The open back keeps them easy to get on and off, and the shape holds through a full day rather than stretching out.

Wear the Merisa with tailored trousers to soften a work outfit, with denim for the version that gets worn most, or with a slip dress when you want something flat that still reads dressed. They are the piece in this collection you buy once rather than twice. Wipe with a soft damp cloth and store away from direct heat.
