Mule: Mules are a type of shoe that is backless and often closed-toed. They can be any heel height from flat to high. This style of shoe is predominantly worn by women but some styles for men are also available. Historically, Mules were an indoor shoe style and were often associated with prostitutes. Marilyn Monroe, among others, in the early 1950's is given credit for moving the mule into outdoor wear and helped to break the shoe's poor reputation.
Donkey: The donkey or *** (Equus asinus) is a domesticated animal of the horse family, Equidae. The wild ancestors of the donkey are African.

A donkey is purebred. A mule is a cross-breed between a horse and a donkey. Donkeys and horses can reproduce; mules are sterile.

A mule is a cross between a male donkey and female horse (mare). It is sterile while a donkey can reproduce.

A mule is the offspring of a male donkey and a mare. The reverse cross is less common, and is not called a mule. IIRC, it is called a hinny.

Donkey is a species, capable of cross breeding and all the offspring are donkeys.
Mules are Hybrids, incapable of breeding, the result of crossing a male horse and a female donkey.
