I haven't slipped into a pair of flats in years, but I decided it's time, given that they're trending. I decided on the Old Navy Faux-Leather Twist-Front Mule Shoes ($20-$24, originally $35), a chic style that looked expensive online and does in person, too.
What I love most about these shoes is the twist-front design, which, teamed with the pointed toe gives them a high-end look that pairs perfectly with everything from jeans to trousers. They also get an A+ for comfort. These mules have a comfortable cushioned faux-leather footbed (they feel like house slippers, but a faux-leather version.)
Plus, they fit like a dream. I fall between size nine and 10 in shoes, making finding the perfect size tricky. I was happy to see Old Navy offered half sizes in this style and even happier when my 9.5 fit like they were custom-made. Sounds dramatic, I know, but they couldn't fit any more perfectly so, yes, I'm inclined to shout it from the rooftops.
One more thing: I love that they're made with a 51 percent recycled thermoplastic rubber outsole. (The other 49 percent is regular plastic thermoplastic rubber.) It's refreshing to see mass retailers like Old Navy doing their part to help make affordable fashion more sustainable.
The Old Navy Faux-Leather Twist-Front Mule Shoes are a timeless footwear choice for both work and play, perfect for those who want to upgrade their flats collection or — if you're like me — start one. The twist-front design gives them an elevated feel without the high price tag, undoubtedly a plus for financially savvy shoppers.
