The Latest In Luxury Shoes

The latest addition to the range is the Mulo loafer, a flexible travel-ready design made with soft Italian suede uppers and lining for maximum comfort. Handmade in Portugal, they are available in tan, natural and brown and could be your most versatile shoe yet.”

Escape Artist Round Up
Feature in Square Mile
Tobias Cox, MULO
“My career in the City spanned management consultancy at Accenture, private equity and marketing strategy. Focusing on FMCG and Retail sectors, I enjoyed the variety of roles and learning about consumer businesses across different disciplines. However, I always knew I wanted to set up a business creating beautiful products and footwear is a personal passion.
During summer holidays I had loved the simple charm of espadrilles but believed there was an opportunity to develop an elevated, more durable version of the summer staple. I took a few months out to explore the idea culminating in a sailing trip across the Atlantic during which a pair of traditional Espadrilles I had packed fell apart, confirming my conviction. On my return I attended a shoe design course at Central St Martins to create the initial prototype and the vision for MULO was born in 2012.
Using the DNA of a traditional Oxford ‘last’ (the slim silhouette of a classic Oxford dress shoe underpins all our designs) we’ve now reimagined three additional key styles – the Loafer (with or without a foldable back heel), the Sneaker and the Slipper (traditional or backless) – as hard-working, go-anywhere slip-ons with a streamlined core shape. The goal was to reimagine these essentials to fit the modern man’s wardrobe – shoes that understand smart no longer means buttoned-up and that in downtime it’s good to still feel dressed up.
Designed in London and expertly handmade in our Portuguese workshops with the very finest materials sourced from Italian tanners and Japanese mills, each pair is crafted in 100 individual stages including sports industry engineering that adds maximum comfort to the premium fit.
Today, seven years on, MULO shoes are available from our own website and 50 premium retailers worldwide and we launch two new collections each year, as well as joint collaborations and next year will be unveiling another new style.

Why The Best Beach Shoes Are Mulo’s Stylish Espadrilles
Feature in Robb Report
“Mulo’s excellent espadrilles and other shoes will ensure you don’t put a foot wrong on your next vacation.”
“Espadrilles have been having their moment in the sun for a few seasons, but as a summer essential they have one significant downside: They’re not that comfortable. And one more: they don’t last. Both these points were irking Londoner Toby Cox, who wore them regularly when sailing but ended up trashing them all too quickly. So he set out to create an upgrade: Enter MULO, the espadrille re(de)fined.”
“Grab these stylish beach shoes before your next vacation.”
“Made using traditional English shoemaking techniques, the Mulo design is based on an Oxford last, meaning its slim silhouette has been taken from a formal Oxford-style lace-up. There are more than 100 stages before the final shoe—hand-made in Portugal out of plush suede, Japanese linen and featuring a rubber sole—is complete. You notice the quality of construction long before you get them on your feet. Sturdy but not bulky, they have a minimal presence that will please those who liked the simplicity of espadrilles, but they are a significant improvement. I was particularly drawn to the neutral shades—versatile shades of taupe, brown and beige—but striped versions and those in indigo linen offer a more nautical or lightweight alternative.”
“Launched in 2012, Mulo now offers slippers, sneakers and loafers, all with a similar pared-back aesthetic. (Its new collaboration with British loungewear brand Hamilton and Hare, a pair of blue suede slippers with tartan lining, would make a smart Holiday gift.) But for those of you off for a little winter sun in the coming months—or indeed reading this from warmer climes—it is the espadrille that we most recommend to you. As a slip-on, go-anywhere summer shoe, as happy by the pool as in a beach bar, they’re hard to beat.”

However, they do come with a super-soft shearling insole and sturdy gripped rubber soles ready-made for colder conditions”.

These Loafers Will Get Into Your Head
Feature in GQ Middle East
“Loafers that offer, not just style smarts, but also a way of life”.
“After seeing a number of shoes fall apart on him while sailing around the Atlantic, Mulo owner Tobias Cox decided to create the collapsible heel loafer. It’s a little bit loafer, a little bit espadrille (a loaferdrille?) but built on an Oxford it has that extra layer of durability. Which is good, as heading back to the hotel mid-day is a sign of weakness – these will see you from beach to bar in style”.

British Luxury | Next Class of Elite Designers
Feature in Esquire Big Black Book
“‘Luxury’ has become a difficult term for business and consumers, partly through overuse and partly because it tends to mean ‘stuff you don’t really need’, which is a kind of unfashionable concept now. People who have grown up with digital technology in the post-Apple world have different expectations to their parents: they expect brands to be constantly innovating and rethinking their products from scratch, so ‘quality’ is associated more with innovation and interesting thinking, and less with surface flash or venerable histories.”
In the past few years, a new kind of entrepreneur has emerged to cater to – and encourage – this shift. Their concern with quality of service and raw materials puts them at the higher ends of their markets, but they’re often wary of the L-word and like to get their lowest price points solidly in the “accessible” territory. They make things for people who like well-designed, well-made products that are useful, as opposed to baroque, rose-gold plated versions of nonsense no one really needs”.

“Espadrilles keep you (looking) cool in the heat. Invest while the sun’s still out.”
“The classic espadrille is so hot right now. Consider it the sophisticate’s answer to the flip-flop.”
What Every Man Needs This Summer
Feature in The Times
“The one certainty in men’s fashion this summer will be baring more ankle, even in the workplace. Socks will be coming off, but these will be going on”.
“Espadrilles always looked cool for about an hour before they came into any contact with sand/pebbles/grass or just a road, when they promptly fell apart and faded to the tone of an old dishcloth. The Mulo uses suede, durable cotton and a sturdy rubber sole rather than a bit of old rope.“
Lightweight Champions : Footwear, Sneakers and Slip-Ons For Summer Fun
Feature in The New York Times
“Summer is no excuse to backslide on footwear. Sure, lazy summer days are all about putting your feet up. But designers have been busy updating summer shoes with lighter, more breathable materials, and with cabana-ready designs. It’s taking these familiar, mass commercial styles and upping the ante.”
“MULO Suede Espadrilles combines the ease of a slip-on with an Oxford’s craftsmanship. Available in blue, natural and taupe”.

Paradise Found
Feature in London Evening Standard
“Hunting for good menswear shoes in summer is like trying to find a quiet pub in Shoreditch. If you are sick of the sight of deck shoes, take a gander instead at MULO. The achingly cool Brit brand has created the perfect warm-weather slip-on”.

Feature in WWD Footwear News
“From seafaring settings to city streets, the basic espadrille gets an Anglophile update”
“Espadrilles are having a big moment in the world of men’s fashion, but they are not an easy silhouette for everyone to pull off. MULO solves that problem by crossing them with a Vans-style slip-on”.
MULO Heads To The Riviera
Feature in WWD Footwear News
“Mens espadrilles for simple effortless and timeless style.”
It has been synonymous with high-style since the 1950s when Brigitte Bardot filmed “And God Created Women” on its beaches, and now Le Club 55 in St. Tropez, France, is partnering with British label Mulo to create its first signature shoe.
“We wanted to develop a custom shoe that captured the spirit of the beach club and [we] approached [Club 55’s] owner, Patrice de Colmont, with the idea last July,” explained Mulo founder Tobias Cox. “He loved the shoes and the idea.”
