Why Every Man Needs a Pair of Slip-Ons

The versatility of slip-on shoes, and how to choose the style that is right for you.

01 May 2020

Slip-on shoes have a reputation as being one of the more casual men’s shoe designs, however as with many things in life there is so much more than meets the eye with these deceptively simple designs.

The benefits of slip-ons

Depending on both the style and the material, slip-on shoes can be an extremely versatile design, as equally at home paired with swimming shorts and a beer, as with smart trousers and a cocktail. This makes them uniquely practical but also stylish. After all, try wearing a Brogue on the beach – it’s not the best look. At the same time, if you need a genuine combination of style and comfort then we have you covered.

Why Mulo

MULO shoes are designed for the modern man and the world he finds himself in today. We blend superior craftsmanship and high quality materials with premium construction to deliver quality pieces with a tailored approach. We keep an eye to the past, recognising design elements that have worked for decades – centuries even – and simply updated them for a modern world. All of our styles, for example, are built on an Oxford Last sourced from Northampton to provide a formal fitted shape. At the same time we apply techniques usually found in high-end athletic shoes. This gives our slip-ons the added flexibility and comfort you wouldn’t normally expect of this style.

Which style to pick

With an understanding of how MULO’s are different, your next choice is the style. We have spent time curating a range to suit any outfit or occasion. Please let us walk you through the styles, along with the typical situations we feel each shoe will be most at home in.

Mens Espadrilles

The Vacation Shoe

 

Mens Espadrilles - Mens Slip-On Shoes

The espadrille is a true design classic and genuine summer essential. Our updated and re-designed version brings both contemporary style and comfort to your warm-weather wardrobe.

Our mens espadrille is a great match with jeans, swimmers and shorts, making it the perfect accompaniment for any casual, summer outfit. At the same time, the classic lines of this design can bring the beach to the boardroom, as these shoes pair easily with many suit styles, especially linen – making it your summer wedding secret weapon.

Constructed of a mixture of lightweight linens for cool breathability and suede for elevated style, they are a perfect blend of form and function for any summer situation.

Mens Loafers

The Everyday Style Workhorse

 

We may all want to be on vacation everyday but sadly that can’t happen. We know your life is busy, and when you finally get some free time you need to make the most of it.

Even if it’s just grabbing a drink after work your time is precious, a fact we recognise. That is why we built our loafer with a classic, everyday design that is an effortless blend of comfort and style.

You want to look your best but you don’t always have time to worry about every aspect of your appearance. Bridging the gap between casual and dressy, our mens loafer is a perfect shoe to slip on and belong – it is a true off duty staple.

Mens Travel Loafers

For Easy Travel

 

What is the worst part of a vacation, apart from the part when it ends? The travel. But you can take steps to minimize the discomfort by picking up our innovative foldable-heel loafer.

Designed with the frequent flyer in mind, this design incorporates two styles in one, with the flexible back either pushed down or upright. An unstructured design and super soft materials provide pure comfort and if you decide to pack them rather then wear them, they fold flat for easy carry on.

So when you need to pack light, these shoes provide the valuable trick of carrying your style from daytime casual all the through to evening high style, making them a valuable addition to your vacation wardrobe.

Mens Formal Slippers

The Big Occasion Player

 

Mens Evening Slippers - Mens Slip-On Shoes

To look stylish with no effort is the ultimate ideal when it comes to fashion and footwear. It was with the lofty intention of meeting those high goals that we set out to design our evening slippers.

The design is formal enough to be a real occasion shoe, but different enough to stand out. The classical styling is sufficient to dress up even the simplest outfit, helping you easily elevate casual clothes to suit any setting.

The high quality materials that are the signature of all MULO designs are of course present here too, making for a shoe of supreme comfort, whilst maintaining all the looks of a shoe well at home in any dressed up occasion.
