Description
Point toe mules with buckles and a flared heel
These point toe mules have a sharp, closed toe, an open back and two buckle straps studded with eyelets. The heel is slim and widens a little at the bottom, which is the flare in the supplier's name.
The supplier lists PU leather, rubber and microfiber as materials. Sizes run from 35 to 40, in silver, off white and black.

The piece: sandals by name, mules by shape
The shoes are sold under the label GalaGait. The supplier calls them point toe flare heel buckle sandals. In the photos they are backless with a closed toe, which most people would call a mule, so that is the word we use.
The supplier files the heel under high heels and gives no height in centimetres. In the pictures it looks like a slim mid-height heel. Two straps cross the foot, each with a square buckle and a row of metal eyelets. We cannot tell from the photos whether the buckles adjust or are decorative.
Who it's for
For you if you want a heel with some edge. Buckles and eyelets give the shoe a tougher look than a plain pump, and the pointed toe lengthens the line of the leg under trousers.
A backless shoe asks your foot to hold it on. If you are not used to mules, try them at home first.
Closer look: toe, straps and heel
- Sharply pointed, closed toe (supplier: point toe; photos)
- Two straps with square buckles and metal eyelets (supplier: buckle; photos)
- Open back, no heel strap (photos)
- Slim heel that widens at the bottom (supplier: flare heel; photos)
- Metallic finish on the silver pair; black edging on the off-white pair (photos)
Materials and build: PU leather, rubber, microfiber
The supplier lists three materials without saying which part is which. PU leather is faux leather, so the upper is not animal hide. Rubber is the usual choice for an outsole and microfiber for a lining, but that split is our reading and not the supplier's statement.
The buckles and eyelets are silver-tone in the photos. The supplier does not name the metal.
Size and fit: order your usual size
The supplier says they run true to size. The chart links size 35 to a foot length of 22.4 cm, 37 to 23.4 cm, 39 to 24.4 cm and 40 to 24.9 cm.
A pointed toe takes some length at the front. If your foot is wide or you are between two sizes, the larger one is the safer choice. That is our advice.

| 38(US7) | 23.9 |
| 39(US8) | 24.4 |
| 40(US9) | 24.9 |

Styling: under jeans or with a suit
The photos show them under straight blue jeans, where only the toe and the buckle show. That is the easy way to wear them.
Silver is the party pair. Off white with its dark edging looks graphic with black trousers. Black goes with a trouser suit or a slip skirt.
Occasions
Wear them to dinner, drinks, a party or the office on a day you want to dress up. They are shoes for evenings and smooth floors.
Care: no instructions from the supplier
The supplier gives no care instructions. Our own advice for PU leather: wipe with a soft damp cloth and store the pair with paper in the toes to keep the point in shape.
The wow detail: two buckles on a small shoe
One strap sits low on the toe and one higher on the foot, each with its own buckle and eyelets. On a shoe this narrow it is a lot of hardware, and that is the appeal.
