Footwear label FEIT initially designs its Mule silhouette for women, but just introduced a pair of the model catered for men. The new iteration of the Hand Sewn Mule footwear is the label's reinterpretation of its own classic Hand Sewn slipper with an open-back mule design. It boasts an overall minimalist aesthetic, elevated with the material used during construction. There is a blend of luxurious materials and intricate craftsmanship.
The new mules boasts FEIT's iconic one-piece upper constructed of a rich and natural leather material. Additionally, there is also a hand-sewn Goodyear sole implemented and leather wrap accents. There are colorway options of either black leather or natural leather and they are both available now online at FEIT.
