Cole Haan Mules Are on Sale, and They’re Similar to Katie Holmes’ – ryan

Without this Katie Holmes-worn shoe style, let’s face it, your summer wardrobe is only half-finished — and no, we’re not talking about sandals.

You should have comfortable sandals, too, but we’re thinking outside of the (toe) box: Mules are the true miracle shoes for this time of year. They’re polished enough for work, they cover up a chipped pedicure, and they’ll save you from stubbing your toes. They’re also ultra-stylish, as we’ve seen on the Dawson’s Creek star, who broke out a pair last summer and then another earlier this month.

And right now, at Amazon, you can keep up with Holmes thanks to the Cole Haan Piper Muleswhich are up to 52 percent off.

The Cole Haan Piper Mules have a slip-on design that, while closed-toe, are open in the back near the heels for breathability during those hot months. They’re also made with 100 percent leather that’s “very soft,” according to reviews, and should get more comfortable with each wear.

They also have a pointed-toe silhouette and a mini block heel (which celebrities in their 70s and 80s, including Oprah and Martha Stewart, wear),  and together, they replicate the look of stilettos and pumps — minus the pain, of course.

Apart from heels, the shoes are a stand-in for other styles, too: “These are a great and more stylish alternative to ballet flats,” wrote one five-star reviewer. “The footbed is very cushioned, so they are comfortable to walk in. The leather has that great quality leather smell and is very soft while still being thick enough to hold its shape,” they added.

The mules are simply wearable, even if you have foot ailments like plantar fasciitis. One shopper with the condition said they had “nothing to worry about” when they stepped out in the shoes and noted that the soles were “very flexible.” Another reviewer shared that the mules did not worsen their existing foot pain. Plus, “They are perfect for when you want to wear a light shoe but don’t want to wear an open-toed sandal,” they continued.

They’re available in sizes 5 to 11, with wide and narrow options, as well as in nine other colors and finishes. (Pro tip: Animal print and buttery-soft suede are other celeb-worn trends!)
