Teal leather with darker tonal patina · Single silver-tone buckle strap · Almond-shaped toe

A teal patina upper and a black ridged Vibram sole give this buckle mule a distinctive combination of colour and structure. The leather shifts between green-blue highlights and darker shading around the toe, edges and strap. A single silver-tone buckle crosses the vamp, while the almond-shaped forepart keeps the front refined. The open heel makes it easy to step into, and the substantial sole edge adds a more casual foundation than a slim dress-mule base. Brown and dark bands along the sidewall create a warm contrast below the cool upper.

Fit Confidence

⊞

The single buckle provides some adjustment across the instep, but the mule still needs to match your length and forefoot shape. A comfortable hold should avoid both excessive sliding and pressure from an overtightened strap. Consider the socks you intend to wear, or your preferred sock-free fit, and consult the Fit Guide using your measurements before selecting a size.

An almond forepart with an adjustable buckle and open heel

The toe narrows into an almond-shaped forepart, so check that your toes have comfortable room within that taper. Your heel should remain fully on the footbed rather than overhanging the back. The substantial sole profile does not establish extra internal width.

Why this teal Vibram-sole buckle mule exists

This mule brings the buckle detail of a monk strap into an open-back design, then gives it a more substantial ridged sole. The teal patina supplies the colour, while the dark Vibram outsole and brown sidewall provide a defined base beneath the almond-shaped forepart.

Single Monk Mule · Teal Patina Leather · Almond-shaped toe

The single strap leaves most of the upper visible and keeps the hardware as one clear accent. It is a design that works with casual trousers and warm-weather separates when a slim dress mule feels too delicate for the outfit. The tonal upper, layered sidewall and ridged outsole each add to its casual character.

Can I get this in a wide width? +

How do I care for these? +

Remove loose dust with a soft brush or clean cloth. Follow the care instructions for the specific leather and finish; suede, patent, patina and two-tone uppers may need different products. Test any suitable cleaner, cream or conditioner on an inconspicuous area first, and use separate clean applicators on contrasting colours. Condition only when the leather and finish need it, rather than on a fixed schedule. Let damp shoes dry naturally away from direct heat. Contact Handsole before attempting recolouring or using a treatment whose compatibility is uncertain.
