Offered here from the dougfinds collection of curated fashion, accessories, clothing, collectibles, and unique gifts is this exceptionally clean pair of Vionic Joan closed-toe mule slides in metallic pewter leather, women’s size US 9 / EU 40.

Here's a shoe that can't quite decide whether it wants to be a Mary Jane, a mule or an orthopedic comfort shoe dressed up for dinner. That's actually a pretty good combination.

The Joan pairs a sophisticated metallic pewter genuine leather upper with a closed rounded toe and open heel, giving it substantially more polish than the average comfort mule. Across the instep is an adjustable hook-and-loop strap finished with a striking woven cluster of faceted pewter-tone beads and gemstones—a small detail that changes the personality of the entire shoe.

Underneath the good looks is what Vionic buyers are actually searching for: Orthaheel Technology.

The contoured microfiber-covered footbed incorporates pronounced arch support and a deep heel cup designed to provide the supportive feel associated with Vionic footwear. That makes these particularly attractive for someone who wants a comfortable everyday shoe without looking like she's wearing a conventional orthopedic shoe.

Features include:

• Vionic Joan
• Style/model 474JOAN
• Women’s US size 9
• EU size 40 / UK 7
• Metallic pewter gray leather upper
• Closed round toe
• Open-back mule / slide design
• Adjustable instep strap
• Hidden hook-and-loop closure
• Decorative woven gemstone/bead cluster
• Vionic Orthaheel Technology
• Contoured cushioned footbed
• Pronounced arch support
• Deep heel cup
• Flexible rubber outsole
• Made in China

And these are another pair where the bottoms tell the story.

The outsole tread is remarkably crisp from heel to toe. The original narrow wavy traction lines remain sharply defined across essentially the entire sole, with none of the flattening or obvious heel wear normally expected from a previously owned pair. The pewter leather likewise remains exceptionally clean and attractive.

For the Vionic devotee—or anyone who has discovered that good arch support and good-looking shoes don't necessarily have to be mortal enemies—this is a particularly clean pair ready for plenty of future wear.
