    Henning Mule

    $175.00

    The grounded hug. Full-foot coverage that wraps and protects, our answer to a closed-toe slip-on that actually performs. The Henning envelops your foot in the same patented hugflex™ and barecork™ comfort as our slides, with more coverage for long travel, all-day wear, and every moment you want to feel completely held. Molds to your foot over time, and if it doesn't feel like yours within 30 days, we'll make it right.

    Fit

    Our straps are designed to hold the foot snug but not tight, like a really good hug. We recommend pulling them on like socks, shimmying your toes to the top of the slide for a secure, comfy, strapped-in fit. Measurements below are based on a size 38.


    MULLEN

    Original, wear-everywhere silhouette, comfortably snug but with more spring in your step.

    SHAW

    Increased stability improves your every move and fits every foot just right, even narrow feet.

    If your mules get dirty, put them in the wash (yes, really)! Use a gentle cycle with cold water, leave out to air dry.

    Shipping. Free shipping on all orders from $150 (excluding Hawaii and Alaska). Once your pair is on its way, we'll send tracking so you can follow it to your door.

    Engineered for Different Rides

    Mullen

    the barefoot hug. Our most minimal slide. The shortest hugflex™ strap in our collection for a free, uninhibited feel. Classic slide width, our own unique interpretation.

    Shaw

    the secure hug. Shaw's strap is about 20% longer than the Mullen, wrapping more of the foot for a more sophisticated ride. Supportive enough for a 20,000-step day, effortless enough to still be a slide.

    Henning

    the grounded hug. Full-foot coverage that wraps and protects. Our answer to a closed-toe slip-on, the Henning is meticulously crafted to feel gently held — built for long travel, all-day wear, and every moment you want to feel completely grounded.

    Love these! Last summer, I

    "Love these! Last summer, I went on a hunt for comfortable slides and mules, because my feet were hurting. Unbelievably AI talked me out of buying these shoes and so I spent several hundred dollars purchasing various luxury brands of shoes designed specifically for hurting feet. . They were just OK. When these mules went on sale, I finally took the plunge and ordered a pair and boy boy do I regret not getting them earlier! Easy to walk in very very comfortable to put on and look great as they don’t have a super clunky profile. I wear a size 9. 5 and ordered the size 40 they fit perfectly."
