Are high heeled (1-1 1/2 inches) backless mules out of style?

[Anonymous]

I have some older backless mules that have a heel about an inch or so high. Are backless mules out of style?

Depends on the age range I guess. I'm 28 and consider them to be out of style. My mom is in her 60s and I'm sure finds them comfortable and stylish.

I'm 25 and personally wouldn't wear them but my mother (who's 51) owns a pair in black and a pair in brown that works with a lot of her outfits.

I'm 52. I just don't want to look like I'm wearing terribly out of style shoes.

I wouldn't wear them.

High-heels are 4 inches or more.

Mules with a small heel are not very elegant, but if you wear them in a casual setting it's fine.

I vote to use them only for slipping on fast to walk the dog, or take out the trash.

I wear mules often and they are much more comfy for me than closed toe shoes.

God I hope so.

if not, what is?

I live in mine. If they are out of style, I don't care.

just wondering -- i have some 2 1/2 to 3 inch black and brown leather mules/clogs from Born and BOC/Born that I wear with jeans. They almost look like boots (since with longish jeans you can't see that they don't have a back).

i tend to wear them as an alternative to my ankle boots (the clog heels are taller than my boot heels).

is that too dated?

I think clogs are never out of style.

Mules are in again this season, so go ahead and wear them. The nineties are back.

All kinds of styles you may have thought were out of style are being sold at American Apparel, including mules (albeit with tall heels, not low heels):

I almost hate to admit how much I love many of these.
