The Mule That Beat the Chairlift Line

Vans has brought its insulated mules back into rotation for the season, and the cold-weather slide is proving to be exactly the kind of easy, low-effort staple that mountain towns like Aspen tend to adopt fast. The style pairs a skate-brand slip-on shape with the kind of warmth built for standing around après-ski, not just wearing indoors. Several colorways are already selling out, which tracks for a piece of footwear this well suited to a Colorado winter.
