The shoe is crafted with tan suede upper along with a leather lining and paired with a vegetable-tanned leather strap across the top. The shoe is rounded out with a natural leather footbed and a detachable tongue, while the cushy midsole gives the mule a sneaker-like profile. The incorporation of the Vibram Sphike outsole ensures the mules are suited for casual wear in the city or even on trails, if desired.
