The chunkier the heel, the funkier the dance moves. Yep, I just made that up, but it’s definitely true. Nothing on this planet is more comfortable than an extra-wide block heel. These mules are so easy to slip on and off, and you’ll love the simple yet elevated design details, like luxe woven Italian leather and wide criss-crossed straps. Besides this futuristic-cool silver option, these come in warm gold and crisp white, both of which would make for perf wedding kicks, too.
Glowing Review: “The shoes fit perfectly and are comfortable. They’re perfect for a summer wedding!”
