The Trek Mule collection includes two shoes, one based in the brand's iconic '[Desert Trek](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/custom-desert-trek),' while one is a slipper version of the same shoe. The Desert Trek features a [cow-print design](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/nike-field-general) that spans the eyestay, heel, and upper of the shoe. The top of the upper and area around the heel is trimmed in white leather, and the midsole boasts a much darker brown color. The slipper version of this shoe, the Trek Mule, is adorned in a similar cow-inspired colorway with the main differences being the absence of the heel and the large lace on the top of the shoe. Clarks Originals has debuted several Mule shoes over the past few years, each of which was met with great reviews. The Desert Trek Mule is expected to continue this trend.
