Paris Texas Lidia Mules: 105 mm and 70 mm, Every Material and Colour, Ranked
Paris Texas Lidia Mules: 105 mm and 70 mm, Every Material and Colour, Ranked
The Lidia is the shoe Paris Texas is known for after the cowboy boot, and the mule is the version most people buy first: a long pointed toe on a slim covered stiletto, an open back, a leather insole with the name embossed, and the lacquered leather sole underneath. It comes at 105 mm and at 70 mm, in more than twenty materials and colours, and Luxury Handbags carries 50 of them at $1,150 to $1,860. This guide covers the two heights, the materials, the colours worth choosing over black, and the fit.
Key facts
- The Lidia mule comes in 105 mm and 70 mm; Luxury Handbags carries 23 at 105 and 12 at 70, plus the sabot, thong and buckle versions.
- Prices: $1,150 for patent, $1,240 for mirrored leather, up to $1,860 for the feathered and crystal versions; the brand lists the patent mule at EUR 595.
- The heel is covered in the upper material and lacquered to match, and in the fitting room the mule walks better than most 105 mm stilettos.
- The brand states the Lidia fits true to size; the fitting-room advice is to round a half size up for the long toe.
- Materials: patent calf, calf suede, satin, velvet, mirrored leather, croc-embossed, python-print and lizard-print calf, printed haircalf, crepe with feathers.
105 mm versus 70 mm
The Lidia 105 is the original and the evening shoe: a slim covered stiletto that lengthens the leg and shortens the walk. The Lidia 70 is the same toe, the same insole and a third less pitch, and it is the one to buy for a working day. They are priced the same, so the choice is about wear, not money. If you own one, own the 70; if you own two, the second is the 105 in a colour. The comfort guide ranks both against the rest of the range.
The materials
Patent calf is the core, about half the mules in stock, and the one the brand prices lowest. Suede reads softer and daytime. Satin, on the black satin mule, is the wedding and black-tie version. Gold and silver mirrored leather carry an outfit on their own. Croc-embossed calf adds texture without colour, and the python-print is the boldest plain shoe in the line. The tortoise printed patent sabot, the crystal buckle mule and the feathered thong mule are the decorated versions, and one of them is enough.
The colours worth choosing over black
Black patent sells first, and it is the right first pair. After that, the house colours are where the Lidia earns its keep. Rouge Noir, a black-cherry burgundy, goes with everything black does and looks less expected. Amarena is the brighter cherry. Taupe, Almond and Avorio are the nudes and ivories, and they lengthen the leg more than black does. Celadon is a pale green that reads as a neutral in summer; Texas Rose is the house pink. The red guide and the nude and pink guide go colour by colour.

Fit
The foot sits on an open footbed, so nothing pinches across the top and the only fit point is the length. Take your usual EU size, and if you wear a half size, round up, because the point needs the length more than the heel needs the grip. The brand’s model wears a 37 at 175 cm. The size guide carries the EU, US and UK chart.
Care
Wipe patent with a barely damp cloth and buff dry; brush suede; keep mirrored leather away from anything that scratches; store each pair in its dust bag so patent does not transfer colour to patent. The pink sole scuffs on the first wear. The care guide has the rest.
“Fits true to size”, the brand prints on nearly every product page, and on 100 of them “Model is 175 cm / 5,74 ft tall and wears a size 37 European sizes”. The fits-true-to-size line appears on 336 of the 350 product pages Luxury Handbags saved on 16 September 2026, and “European sizes” on 349; the brand publishes no other sizing advice, and its size guide gives EU 37 as US 7 and UK 4.
