Spring-o-lator mules are a fashion icon of the 1950s and 1960s. Beth Levine's brilliant pairing of the bedroom mule with the elastic "Spring-o-lator" sole created an alluring and sexy shoe that was perfect for daytime casual and glamorous evenings. A woman who would wear Spring-o-lators was just not wearing a pair of shoes, she was sending a message! Historical Clarification: All too often I see references to the "fact" that Beth Levine invented the Spring-o-lator elastic sole. That is incorrect as I discovered when doing a patent search years ago for my old website, Spring-o-lators and Other Bad Girl Shoes and found out that Maxwell Sacks was the inventor and patent holder, in addition to owning the trademark "Spring-o-lator". Of interest is that his original sketch designs were for a man's slip-on shoe (i.e. "Loafer"). The other misconception is what was the purpose of such a device? For anyone who has ever worn a backless shoe (with the exception of the Polly of California mule or thong-type sandals), they have a tendency to slip off the foot far too easily. The elastic band in the sole made the open back of the shoe move up and stayed closer to the heel of the foot when walking rather than staying flat on the ground. Plain and Simple. A few years ago, Bernardo Shoes brought back the Spring-o-lator mule for a couple of seasons but without much success. Apparently there are too many women who have worn flip-flops and shoes with no arch support for so long that they have flat feet and the elastic band "is uncomfortable". Spring 2016 Update: Bernardo has brought back the Spring-o-lator for this season! Also, Amanda Gregory (brand name) has several offerings of Spring-o-lator mules both in an ultra-high heel and a low heel. Unfortunately, these run very narrow even when ordering the next largest size up, typical of the Italian shoe size pattern.

Warmer days mean the start of spring entertaining season: lazy days outdoors with friends, cozy dinner parties with fresh produce, and Memorial Day or graduation parties.
