Roper Hampton Black Suede Mule vs Clarks Meare Moccasin Mules

The Roper Hampton is the better pick for most shoppers: real suede, a padded leather sock lining, moisture-wicking lining and a flexible TPR sole in a true slip-on mule. The Clarks Meare is a moccasin-style mule in a beige finish, and Clarks has a long reputation for cushioned comfort, but the listing detail here is thin. Owners of suede mules like the Hampton praise the soft lining and easy on-off; both are casual house-to-errand shoes, not wet-weather footwear.

• Choose the Roper Hampton if you want a black suede mule with a padded leather lining, whipstitch trim and a flexible rubber sole.
• Choose the Clarks Meare if you prefer a lighter beige moccasin look and trust Clarks' comfort reputation over a suede finish.
