Mules Fit Questions - YouLookFab Forum

Earlier this week, I went shopping for summer mules in a few local stores; I found hardly any. Once again YLF is ahead of the curve!

So naturally I jumped online and placed the biggest footwear order of my life, for SIX pairs of mules from Nordstrom. Five of them were waiting for me when I got home from work this evening.

And all five of them will be returned due to fit issues. My left foot is half a size bigger than my right foot, and even when the right mule fit well, my left heel hung over the back a little AND, in a couple cases, also hung over one side just a bit.

The pic below is one example of a fit issue. I LOVE how this particular pair of mules look and feel, and the little heel gives just enough support for my plantar-fasciitis prone feet. This pair is available only in a medium width, so hopefully going up a size will provide the right fit.

I like a few of them enough to reorder to try in another size. My question is if I need to order them in a wider size or just go up to the next size numerically. Or both?

“Angie’s” Naturalizer mules will arrive in the next few days; I’m almost thinking I should just go ahead and order them, also, up one numerical size and/or in a wide instead of a medium.

I bought Angie’s Naturalizer mules, but went up a half size. My feet were hanging over the back a little in my regular size.

I don't have any advice, but I want to say that I really like how these mules look on you! I hope you can get them to work in the larger size.

WINDCHIME- they say everyone has eat least a 1/2 size difference between feet. Mine is a full size- Love mules but have issues with fit. I have 2 pair that are a couple of years old but I limit use because I have almost broke my neck a few times walking out of the smaller foot one.
Just keep trying til you find the right ones. Sometimes going up a size works and sometimes only a different width will. Frustrating trial and error strikes again

Too bad, those shoes are really cute! This year’s slides and miles are making me notice all new things about my feet. Apparently I walk crooked so one foot is always twisted out of the shoe... sigh. Yet one more body imperfection.

I also have a size bigger left foot but go with that size and use some sort of insert in the right shoe to get a better fit. When they are open, like mules, I find a stick on pad inside the shoe for the ball of the foot usually works. Sometimes they are gel and supposed to keep your foot from sliding forward in heels.

Oh I like those shoes, I hope a size bigger works. I have Angie’s Naturalizer mules in black and love them!

Oh! I tried those. The softness of the leather was sublime. I returned mine only because I couldn't seem to keep my toes in place. They were cut such that my toes kept creeping out. Not a good look.

My right foot is larger than my left foot. I always buy for the right foot and adjust the left accordingly.

Windchime, you can try a ball of the foot cushion or foot petal in the mule of the smaller foot and go up half a size in these.

Lets see how the Naturalizers fit, and take it from there.

I was going to start a separate thread for Angie’s Naturalizer mules, but this one works! The mules are sublime—buttery soft leather that fit my average volume feet perfectly. I found them tts. Wore all day, two days in a row, with no issues. They really elevate an outfit’s fashion quotient!

Oooo, now a want a pair.
