The shoes breathlessly weave [smooth suede](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/rhodes-suede-mule), earth-toned leathers and slick rubber soles into one another for a look that epitomizes summer strolls and beach-filled weekends. Colored stripes adorn the soles of the shoes, providing a subtly offbeat highlight to an otherwise classic look. Just looking at the shoes tempts one to drop what their doing, leave work and head for some place warm and quite. Aesthetics are one thing, but comfort should rarely be overlooked in footwear -- especially [casual footwear](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/clarks-offers-spring-comfort).
