Detailed Review
The CL by Chinese Laundry Women's Catherin Mule stands out for its elegant yet edgy design. The pointed toe gives it a chic feel while the stacked block heel enhances comfort, allowing you to wear them throughout the day without discomfort. The Western-inspired topline makes these mules stand out, giving them a unique character that can elevate even the simplest outfit.
When it comes to comfort, this mule delivers with its slip-on nature and relatively forgiving design. Users appreciate the ease of wearing them on the go, whether you're heading to work or out for a casual dinner. However, some may find the sizing inconsistent, which is something to keep in mind when ordering.
Style-wise, the tan lizard finish is versatile, effortlessly pairing with jeans, skirts, and dresses alike. Nevertheless, the limited color options might not cater to everyone's tastes. Additionally, the synthetic materials used may deter those who prefer leather or suede products.

User Reviews
A bit on the heavy side but comfortable (though not for walking all day) and looks great (got the silver one). Can wear with almost anything. With mules, I usually go up half a size. This is a bit wider than the regular medium width, so this won’t work if your feet are on the narrow side.
Great product
these mules are exactly what i wanted! i've been looking for a pair for awhile with the low heel height these have that are still mules, not clogs and these did not disappoint. i took a chance and got my regular size 7, after reading mixed sizing reviews and they are just right. Very comfortable, not slippery, easy to walk in. i got the tan lizard print and it goes with everything.
I didn't think Chinese Laundry shoes rand wide, but I took a chance, figuring I could stretch them if they were close. But I was plesently surprised to find they fit my wide feet! They are super cute and the snake skin is a great pseudoneutral that will go with everything! These are going to be some of my favorite shows, I can already tell! They are not the highest quality product, when looking inside the shoe, the sole appears rippled, but I'm not concerned, just something to note. But even with that note, these are beautiful! I can't wait to start wearing them (currently on maternity leave during a pandemic, so I don't go out much lol)
Comfortable. Great color.
I was so sad when I received my shoes and they had a defect! The built in sole was all wrinkled. I returned immediately. I'm not sure if anyone else has had the issue!
these are gorgeous and they fit perfect!! Very easy to walk in, the heel is not too high. I didn't think I would like the pointy toe, but it works very well with my boot cut jeans.
Great style and quality. Comfortable heel.
