Oh, how we love the bootie. What a great idea by the fashion Gods. A versatile shoe that can be worn with just about every piece of clothing in your closet, the bootie is like the casual shoe for the fashion elite. These sexy snake-embossed booties, the Loeffler Randall Lula Platform, are just the kind of bootie you need to complete your shoe wardrobe for the end of this fall and the beginning of spring. A bootie that will move seamlessly from skinny jeans to fluid spring dresses and structured shorts, the Loeffler Randall Lula Platform Booties is complete with a sexy side zip and hidden platform. Meant to be flaunted with a mini or skinnies, these snake-embossed leather booties feature an exposed side zip. 3/4″ hidden platform and 4″ covered heel. Leather sole.

The mule is a classic backless shoe design that can be casual, formal, flat or heeled. The mule dates back to Ancient Roman times and was popular in both the 16th and 18th Centuries. By the early 90s, however, the mule was commonly associated with prostitutes. Popularized by Marilyn Monroe in the 50s - she also helped break their poor reputation - the clog has been the feature among many fashion cycles over the past half century. The mule, like most reinterpreted classics, has taken on several shapes and forms over the years, from pointy-toe versions to super stilettos and platforms. This year, expect to see more architecturally unique styles, as well as the clog, which is also coming back with a vengeance this season. We raise our toe boxes to the modern mule. Below are just a few of our favorites:

Frye Harness Mule Clogs

Alexander Wang Isabeli Haircalf Pointed Mules

Promise Studded Clog from ASOS

Camilla Skovgaard Tassel Knot Mules

Retro Slide from Yves Saint Laurent

Luichiny Women’s Phan Tom Mule

Jeffrey Campbell Stop Python Print Mules
