Double Strap

WHY IT MADE THE LIST: A great pair of double-strap mules will pair effortlessly with everything. Available in a variety of neutral colorways and complete with a low, walkable heel, you'll want to wear these pretties every day.

USER REVIEW: "I took these bad boys all over Las Vegas, and they were fantastic. They're so comfortable, and they don't slide off like a lot of mules do. They go great with any outfit. I wore them with jeans and a dress, and they worked for both. Even my husband said I should wear these over another pair of shoes when I got his opinion!"

Low

WHO IT'S FOR: Complete with the lowest heel on the list (two inches), this sensible pair is perfect for the heel-averse. They're high enough to elevate any look, but not so high that they'll leave you in pain by the end of the night.

ADDITIONAL THINGS TO KNOW: Multiple reviewers touted these as perfect "going-out" shoes. In fact, one said she wore them out and about for hours and even rode electric scooters in them.

Platform

WHY PEOPLE LOVE IT: With their sculptural heel and dramatic wide strap, these platform mules can add a chic '90s spin to any look. Plus, they come in tons of fun colors like light yellow, baby blue, and pink suede.

HELPFUL TIP: Reviewers agree these run a little small, so we recommend ordering a half size up.

Padded

WHY IT MADE THE LIST: The puffy leather straps, pillowy quilted footbeds, and square toes make these Sam Edelman mules instant standouts. If we didn't know any better, we'd easily mistake them for a designer find.

USER REVIEW: "These heels a great basic to have for summer dresses. The heel is the perfect height—not too high for a tall girl and not too low, so they still look sexy and elongate the leg. The footbed is padded and comfy, and the leather is good quality like all Sam Edelman shoes that I have owned."

USER REVIEW: "These shoes are so comfortable—I didn’t have to break them in. I was hesitant to first wear them through a full day at the office, but I had no issues. They are true to size."

Best Overall

WHY IT MADE THE LIST: This is a spring statement heel if we've ever seen one. Chunky braided straps and unique color options elevate them above the rest.

USER REVIEW: "I bought the ivory shade, and I was so scared they’d be uncomfortable. When I slipped them on, I sighed in content. The sandal is soft, well made, not too high, and just so aesthetically pleasing. No wonder Dolce Vita can’t keep these in stock. They’re honestly perfect, and regardless of trends, I know I will keep these in my closet for a long time and wear them a variety of ways for the spring and summer seasons!"
