An almond toe gives the front a cleaner taper

The almond-shaped forepart narrows gradually through the front, giving the shoe a more refined line without becoming sharply pointed. It works well when the design already carries visible hardware or surface texture.

Because this horsebit mule is made to order, choose your normal US dress-shoe size and the offered D, E, EE or EEE width. If you are between sizes or regularly experience heel slip or forefoot pressure, use the Fit Guide before production.

Why this black horsebit mule exists

This pair strips the horsebit mule back to its essential parts: a black polished upper, one piece of gold-tone hardware and an open heel. Without broguing, tassels or embossed texture, the shape and the metal bit carry the design.

Polished black leather · Gold-tone horsebit · Backless construction · Almond toe

The black upper makes the hardware more visible and gives the mule an easy path into evening dressing. The almond-shaped forepart adds enough taper for tailored clothing while avoiding the sharper point that can make a backless shoe feel overly formal.
