What is a mule
When it comes to shoes, there are many different types. There are a wide variety of types depending on the demand, such as those with high functionality and those that specialize in design. Among them, we will introduce the popular mules from spring to summer. Mules originated in the West and were originally used as indoor shoes. The fact that a famous actress wore them in a certain movie became the trigger for them to be widely known to the world. It wasn't until around 2000 that mules became known to many people in Japan, and the mules gradually took root as they were featured in many fashion magazines. As the number of people who use them not only indoors but also when going out has increased, the number of designs for women who can wear them outdoors has increased. Demand for outdoor shoes has also increased, but they weren't designed for long-distance use in the first place, and since the heel part is not fixed, there is a risk of slipping off the shoes, blisters, or falling while you are not used to them. It is an unstable structure such as However, it is not very suitable for long-distance travel, but it is convenient for shopping, going out, or moving to a familiar place. Instability can be dealt with. Since mules are a type of women's sandal, they are often lumped together with sandals and pumps, but there are differences. To give an example of each feature, a mule is a shoe with a fabric in the toe area, an open heel, and a high heel. Next, sandals are designed so that the ankle and heel are fixed with belts, etc., and the overall breathability is good, making them more stable than mules. Pumps are open only on the top of the foot, and the rest is covered with fabric. In this way, each has its own characteristics and is divided into types.
How to care for your mule
In the summer, the demand for shoes such as mules and sandals increases. Summer is a hot season, so there are many opportunities to get dirty with sweat and sebum.

As a cleaning method, soak a towel in a detergent solution of weakly acidic detergent dissolved in lukewarm water, wring it out firmly, and then wipe the entire surface. Also, before adding detergent, it is a good idea to test the color on an inconspicuous area of the shoe to make sure it will not fade. After that, stuff the sandals with paper so that they do not lose their shape, and let them dry naturally in a well-ventilated place. If this method does not remove the stain, use a toothbrush instead of a towel to remove the stain. If it still doesn't work, you can ask a professional to do it for you. In order to use your sandals for a long time, daily care is important, so don't forget to take care of them as much as possible.

Wearing mules can cause blisters on rare occasions. This may be due to the wrong size, but it also has to do with how you walk.

We will explain the causes and countermeasures for problems such as shoe blisters. First, it causes blisters. Mules and some sandals do not have a hole in the heel, making it easier for the foot to slide forward. Also, if the arch line in the arch of the foot does not match the line of your foot, it will be more slippery. If this happens, your feet will become unstable, and your body will unconsciously try to balance itself, resulting in poor posture. If this bad posture continues, not only the feet but also the hips and knees will be heavily burdened, and it may cause shoe sores. By emphasizing the design, it is easy to get bunions if you wear something that does not fit your feet. Then there are the countermeasures. Basically, it is important to choose something that fits your feet, such as the arch line. In addition to raising your line of sight upward, be aware of tightening your stomach when walking. Also, if you are wearing tall shoes like mules, your knees and hips will bend when you walk, so be aware of stretching your back as if your head were being pulled from above. Also, when traveling long distances, it is important to have a spare pair of comfortable shoes for when you get tired. In this way, you may be able to deal with it by reviewing the way you walk and the size of your mules or sandals. Shoe blisters can get worse if left untreated and can lead to serious symptoms, so it is recommended to deal with them without leaving them unattended.
