I have trouble finding flats that do not cause blisters or dig into my heels. As a shopping editor, I am constantly drawn to fashionable pairs, but lately, I have been yearning for a style that is both fashionable and cozy. I was therefore intrigued when I saw Meghan Markle wearing them (she was most recently seen wearing them at Disneyland with her family). I needed to know if this stuff is indeed as good as it seems. Warning: I have an obsession.
This is not a drill: when it comes to comfort, I’d rather wear these mules than sneakers.
These mules are more comfortable than sneakers, in my opinion.
The editors surrounding me were “oohing” and “ahhing” as soon as I slipped into the Birdie’s Starling Mules ($110) at the PS headquarters. Yes, they are beautiful, but the comfort was what truly impressed me. Your feet feel like tiny cushions thanks to the quilted satin soles. In terms of comfort, I would much rather wear these mules than sneakers.
Sincerely, the investment is well worth it for these well-built apartments. I have already started planning my next purchase. They are casual enough to wear around the house but elegant enough for a party. The fact that Megan frequently wears loafers also helps. Read on for a closer look at my pair and tips on how to emulate the Duchess’s fashion sense.
