This Is the Shoe Style Replacing Your Mules
For over a year now, the ever-beloved mule has reigned supreme as one of the top shoe trends, season after season. Its unwavering popularity has been welcomed with open arms, as there’s a lot to love about the fashion girl–approved shoe. Mules tend to be comfortable, versatile, and can work in any climate with the right style and styling—just to name a few positive attributes. So, where is the classic mule headed next? Our bet is on one shoe style that’s been picking up steam both in the fashion crowd and among our favorite brands and retailers. While it doesn’t have an official name, we’re dubbing it the heeled slipper, for reasons that will be obvious in just a few moments.
Shop the shoes below and you’ll see exactly why we think it’s the next big thing!

Since starting as an intern back in 2013, Nicole Akhtarzad Eshaghpour has held several roles here at Who What Wear, and she is currently Editor-at-Large. It was a less expected route, seeing as she was graduating from business school at USC when this all began, but it has turned out to be the best one for her. Fast-forward to 2024, and she's moved to NYC from her hometown of Beverly Hills and spends her workdays a little differently from when she was an intern starting out. Currently, she focuses on a weekly mélange of shopping content. As far as her personal style goes, she's largely drawn to classic pieces and neutral basics but will always make an exception for something colorful, printed, or bejeweled as long as it's deemed worthy enough. After all, the only thing she loves more than a good party is dressing up for one. On weekdays, she can usually be found at home eating something delicious for dinner and trying to force her husband to watch Summer House.
