Trend - Brands are launching mules and slip-on silhouettes to provide consumers with footwear for any occasion. Mules are versatile and breathable footwear styles popular throughout summer, thanks to their backless design. With the influx of mules arriving from high-profile retailers, footwear brands are gearing up to launch their own versions of the silhouette.

Insight - The pandemic highlighted a consumer desire for more soft, lounge-friendly footwear as society spent most of its days indoors isolating. As COVID-19 restrictions lift and individuals begin to resume social activities, consumers are looking for shoes that maintain comfort while being stylish and easy to slide on, similar to a slipper. By creating mules and slip-on styles, brands are able to cater to consumer demand for comfortable and casual footwear.
