Quick answer
Choose the Palma Leather Heeled Mule for a dressier, elevated look with a 2-inch wooden heel, or the Palma Leather Slide for all-day comfort with an anatomic footbed.
Style vs. Comfort: The Core Trade-off
The main difference between these two Palma styles comes down to heel height and footbed design. The Heeled Mule features a 2-inch wooden heel that adds a polished, dressy feel, while the Slide prioritizes comfort with its anatomic footbed and flat sole. Your choice depends on whether you need a shoe for a special occasion or for everyday wear.
