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 eight new 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.
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.
The "Nebraska" from Me Too is the traditional ballet flat, gone mary jane. Adorable in burgundy or black patent.
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.
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.
One of my favorite shoes of this (or any) season, the "Whitfield" from Betsey Johnson features two criss-crossed mary jane straps, cute mod buttons, and black toe caps and trim on cream leather uppers. The 4.5" black heel is offset a bit by the concealed platform sole.
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.
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.
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.
