DEFINITION
Mule, a French word, is a style of shoe that is backless and often closed-toed. Mules can be any heel height - from flat to high. The style is predominantly (but not exclusively) worn by women. The term derives from the ancient Roman mulleus calceus- a red or purple shoe worn by the three highest magistrates, although there is little indication of any structural resemblance.
