Vanya | Ruched Mule

An open back, a strap that holds, and no heel-slip

The problem with a mule is that it flaps. Vanya solves it with a buckled mary jane strap across the instep, so the shoe stays on the foot while the back stays open. Ruched leather across the vamp gives it softness, and the sculpted block heel gives it a line.

Why you will love Vanya

• ✔ Ruched vamp — Gathered leather that gives across the widest part of the foot instead of pressing on it.
• ✔ Buckled strap — The detail that makes a mule stay put — no gripping with your toes.
• ✔ Tailored square toe — A clean, deliberate front that keeps the shoe from looking like a slipper.
• ✔ Sculpted block heel — Shaped rather than straight, so it carries weight while still looking fine.
• ✔ Open back — Easy on, easy off, and cool through a warm afternoon.

Material

A genuine leather upper over a cushioned footbed, finished with a flexible outsole. The leather softens to the shape of your foot across the first few wears while keeping its structure, so the shape holds instead of collapsing at the sides.
