Heeled mules like these ones from Naturalizer were always one of my MVPs in the office — particularly in summer.

Huge blister on your heel from new sandals or a vacation with a lot of walking? Your answer is mules.

Wore flip flops to work but now need something professional for the meeting? Your answer is mules.

The fact that these are from Naturalizer just makes the case even more — I love their comfortable padding and attention to details. The reviewers also love their comfort — one has this to say:

The holy grail of comfy heels. I wore them without breaking them in to a wedding for 10+ hours, and they were amazing. The footbed is supportive, they don’t rub, and my feet didn’t hurt at all the next day. I have 3 screws holding my ankle together, so almost any pair of heels makes my ankle ache after ~5-6 hours, but not these. They are magical, and I’m ordering them in black, too.

Nice! The shoes come in black and beige for $135, available in sizes 5-12 at Zappos, Nordstrom, and Naturalizer.

Admin Update: We may be doing some needed maintenance today (moving to a new server) — the bad news is that we may be down for an hour or two, but the good news is that when we’re back up and running I think we’ve fixed the “commenting too fast” and the problem of un-sticky usernames. If Corporette is down, please feel free to threadjack over at CorporetteMoms (whether mom-related or not). Thank you!
