Product Type: Heels

A heeled mule is the fastest dressy shoe you can own: no buckle, no zipper, foot in and go. Soda's Kellan-S is a backless mule in coral faux leather, with braided straps across the front, a square open toe and a flared heel of about 3.75 inches.

Braided front straps. Several plaited bands spread the hold across your forefoot, the only place a mule can grip.
Square open toe. Toes lie flat and side by side, with no taper pressing them together.
A flared heel. It widens toward the floor, so 3.75 inches lands on a broader tip than a stiletto offers.
Coral, four ways. Soda files the color under pink, orange, peach and coral, and it shifts among them with the light.

How to Wear Mules in Coral

How to wear mules comes down to the hem, because the open back is the point of the shoe. Pants that end at or above the ankle bone show the bare heel and the flare: cropped straight jeans, culottes, ankle grazing dress pants. With full length wide legs, have the hem clear the floor by about half an inch with the shoes on, so fabric cannot slip between your heel and the footbed mid stride. Skirts and dresses are easy at any length. Coral does its best work against white, cream and denim, and it turns a plain white dress into an outfit.

Keeping a Backless Heel On

A mule has no strap behind you, so everything depends on the front. Slide your foot forward until the braid sits snug over the widest part of the forefoot, not over the toes. A thin gel pad beneath the forefoot stops the forward slide that makes toes clench and calves tire, and it quiets the slap a backless shoe makes on hard floors. Take slightly shorter steps and let the shoe rise with your heel. One honest limit: a backless heel is not a driving shoe, so keep flats in the car.

Kellan-S Fit and Square Toe Room

Soda lists Kellan-S as true to size. It is made in US women's 5.5 to 11 with half sizes up to 8.5, so a 9.5 orders the 10 and a 10.5 orders the 11. Man-made uppers do not stretch with wear, so the fit on day one is the fit you keep. That matters more on a mule than on a strapped shoe, because the braided front is the entire fit: order the size that holds your forefoot today. For length, your heel should rest inside the back edge of the footbed, and a finger of footbed showing behind it means the size is long. The square front leaves the outer toes where they naturally sit, so the little toe is not pushed inward the way it is in a tapered shoe.

Coral Outfits, Cool Weather and Care

Which outfits suit coral heels best? White and denim are the safe answers. The less obvious ones are olive, navy and tan, which calm coral down, and any print that already holds a little orange or pink, which makes the shoes look planned. Red and hot pink compete with it. Gold jewelry warms coral and silver cools it.

How to wear mules in cooler weather? Most people look this up in the fall, when closed toe mules appear. With an open toe pair, move the warmth up: ankle length pants in a heavier fabric, a knit, a long coat, and the bare heel as the one light note. Coral also wakes up the grays and navies that take over closets after September.

Do square toe heels make feet look bigger? A square front ends where your toes end, so it adds no length the way a long point does. On a mule it reads as modern, and it balances a flared heel, since both shapes are blunt.

What keeps braided straps in shape? Stuff the fronts with tissue so the plait holds its arch, and store the pair where nothing presses on the straps. Wipe sunscreen and lotion off the braid after wear, since creams settle into the grooves and dull a man-made finish.
