The leather style included a warm brown front strap, as well as a wider buckled upper strap in a darker brown hue. Though her heels weren’t visible, Witherspoon’s feet angles suggested the pair included heels totaling at least 3 inches tall.

Sandals like Witherspoon’s add an efficient height boost to any warm weather ensemble. Pairs similar to the actress’ often include neutral uppers with low-height heels, allowing them to effortlessly be paired with outfits ranging from casual to formal — as seen in new styles from brands including Alexander McQueen, DKNY and Kurt Geiger. Aside from Witherspoon, stars including Chrishell Stause, Taeyeon and Hailey Baldwin have also slipped into mules by Giuseppe Zanotti, Roger Vivier and Femme LA in recent weeks.
