Top Mary Jane Shoes for Women

By Desiree Stimpert, About.com

Once upon a time, Mary Jane shoes were shoes for children. That was a long time ago, and Mary Jane has since grown up. These variations of the classic Mary Jane will have you taking notice of just how versatile and totally adult these casual shoes can truly be. From Mary Jane sneakers to chunky high heels, Mary Jane shoes appeal to the girl in all of us, no matter how old, or young she is.

1. "Newbury2" Sexy Mary Jane Heels from Guess by Marciano

Think of mary janes as only flats? Think again, these open-toed mary jane shoes from Guess have 4.25" stiletto heels, and would dress up any outfit while still injecting a proper dose of fun. I love the white with gold accents, but the black is more versatile. Both have concealed platform soles.

2. Me Too "Nebraska" Mary Jane Flats

The "Nebraska" from Me Too is the traditional ballet flat, gone mary jane. Adorable in burgundy or black patent.

3. "Craze Destroyed" Mary Jane from Keds

Quite possibly the cutest mary jane sneaker you'll ever see, the "Craze Destroyed" features frayed edges, white toe caps and a cute plaid lining. With a great selection of colors to choose from, these shoes add a super-cute, girly touch to jeans or denim minis. I can't imagine not having fun in these shoes.

4. "Yvonka" Unique and Cool Mary Janes from Zinc

Funky shoe lovers rejoice! This open-toed mary jane sling-back from Zinc is super unique with two straps, concealed platform and ultra-chunky 4.5" wooden heel. These incredibly cool shoes would work with everything from slacks to jeans, and even a short skirt or simple dress. Available in beige or white with black.

5. "Billie" High Heeled Mary Janes from Hale Bob

Cute, sexy and glamorous all at once, these high heeled mary janes come in shimmery shades of pink and oyster, or there's a more matte black version. All of the colors feature textured leather uppers, 4" heels, and partially-concealed platforms -- and they're all perfect for getting attention.

6. "Calypso" Mary Janes from Sofft

What a fun shoe this is. With a 2.25" heel and an adorable flower accent on the strap, the "Calypso" is perfect in black or brownwood.

7. Josef Seibel's "Maddie" - A Sporty Mary Jane

It stood to reason that Mary Jane styling would eventually make its way to sporty shoes. The "Maddie" mary jane from Josef Seibel offers velour and leather uppers; and a choice of fresh color combinations like fuchsia or viola with white.
