Women's Shoes – Mules / Clogs

Riding the wave of retro and quirky trends, mules and clogs are back in the spotlight and are proving themselves, season after season, as key footwear for women who want to surprise and outshine on the fashion front, whether in the street, at work, or at an evening event.

Both carry with them strong associations in the collective imagination: mules popularized by Marilyn Monroe, the more abstract versions from Cinderella (some might say, like the author of the tale, "vair slippers"), and clogs worn by historical figures like Hélène and Anne of Brittany, the famous duchess in clogs who inspired a song still cherished in local folklore.

Mules: From Ancient Rome to Sex and the City

What do these two models have in common? Both clogs and mules are ancient and mixed-style pieces. Mules were reportedly worn by senators in Ancient Rome, alongside sandals. At that time, and in the same city, the ancestor of the clog, known as "sculponae" in Latin, was considered an outdoor mule, robust and reinforced, already made of carved wood, recommended by the magistrate Cato for field workers, both men and women.

In the East, the mule often took the form of babouches, flat leather slippers without fastenings. It reappeared in France much later, around the 15th century, primarily used as a comfort and indoor shoe until a contemporary of Louis XIV, the Countess of Olonne (1652-1714), took it out into the open, wearing it to church. A distant precursor to Carrie Bradshaw, the heroine of Sex and the City (1998-2004), who sported an impressive collection of flat or heeled mules.

While the clog has a well-established identity with its single-block design in sculpted wood, the mule, much lighter, comes in a wide variety of shapes and materials, reflecting its multicultural nature and blending many styles and traditions. Whether babouches, sandals, or high-heeled shoes, they adapt to all styles and, depending on the model, can be worn both at home and in the city. True to the product's DNA, modern versions will reveal your heel, and many will even show off your toes, unlike clogs.
