DELACROIX | Mathilde Woven Closed-Toe Mules

When it's warm, we want to let our feet breathe — without having to walk around in sandals!

Picture a shoe that's closed at the front, open at the back and hand-woven over the whole upper: air can circulate, the foot is well supported and the look stays dressy. Stop dreaming — the Mathilde mules are built on exactly this balance. The weave does all the decorative work, and the fine back strap provides just the right support.

• A weave that lets air through
  The criss-cross woven straps create thousands of tiny openings across the top of the foot. The foot stays covered and neat, but never sweats as it would in a fully closed slip-on.
• Fine back strap
  A discreet strap holds the heel and stops the mule from clacking with every step. You keep the freedom of a mule with the support of a closed shoe.
• Neatly closed toe
  The toes are covered: the pair can go anywhere, even where sandals aren't welcome. It's suitable for the office and the café terrace.
• Flat, wide heel
  The small rectangular base spreads the weight across the full width of the heel. You can stand for a long time without that painful pressure that usually comes at the end of the day.
• Four natural shades
  Dark brown, light brown, deep green and blue: colours that age well and go with linen, denim and white cotton.

You may have given up on mules because yours slipped at the slightest tilt of your foot. This pair is held at the back, so it stays exactly where you put it. This is the pair you'll keep by the door on the first warm days and pick up again all year round.
