Men's mules (backless slip-ons) are leather shoes you slip on with no heel strap — quick and convenient. They're popular in Vietnam because they suit the hot climate and are easy to slip on and off while looking dressier than sandals — a natural fit for smart-casual style. For an elegant look: choose a sleek silhouette in calfskin, in black, dark brown, or oxblood.

Details
Mules/slip-ons have taken off thanks to the comfort trend plus a hot, humid climate where socks are optional. Aesthetically (by dress-shoe principles): the silhouette should be trim and sleek — avoid toes that are too blunt or too pointed; calfskin in dark tones (black, dark brown, oxblood) is the safest choice, and light tan is best avoided if you want a polished look; brown suede looks great once you're confident styling it. Note: mules are usually worn sockless, so the footbed absorbs sweat quickly and the exposed heel area picks up dirt — wipe them down and rotate pairs so they can dry out.
