Product Insights
A backless block-heel mule with LWG-certified leather, true-to-size fit, and multiple features to prevent foot forward slide. The 45mm block heel reduces forward weight shift and pressure, keeping the foot near its natural angle for stability. The Tunit outsole is flexible, waterproof, abrasion-resistant, and stain-resistant, with a non-skid heel tip that provides grip and braking. Full goatskin leather lining and cushioned insole allow sockless wear. The main tradeoff is that stability benefits are confirmed only on dry surfaces; wet performance remains untested.
