2001 Parallel Mule Walnut Suede/Ivory
Free socks with this pair · pick your size in the cart
The Walnut Suede Mule is the one that disappears into your routine — not because it's forgettable, but because it goes with everything. A rich, warm brown suede that sits somewhere between coffee and caramel, set on a clean ivory sole. The kind of neutral that isn't neutral at all.
The Parallel Mule takes the silhouette that already accounts for most of our sneaker sales and reimagines it as a step-in. Open back, no laces, no heel counter — just a clean entry into a shoe that's already broken in from the first wear. Our dual-layer footbed does the quiet work underneath: soft where you need cushion, firm where you need structure.
Designed in New Zealand. For every pair sold, we plant a tree and support a charity you choose.

Every pair ships with two footbeds: the main insole, with the arch support built in, and an extra footbed underneath it. Your arch is held up rather than sinking into foam, which is the thing people mention most after the first week. Wear both. If you want more room, lift out the extra footbed underneath and the arch support stays where it is.
Our 2001 Parallel and Crossroads styles run about half a size smaller than our other styles. If you're between sizes, go up. Size guide.
Two sets of laces in the box. The regular ones you tie, and the Lightning laces: flat, elastic, done up once. After that you slip in and out, and the shoe still looks laced.
