Classic Black Mary Janes

When you picture Mary Janes, you probably remember black leather, closed-toes, and thin, buckled straps. It’s the baseline for a reason—this classic style works perfectly for almost any professional or dressed-up occasion.

Vionic Alameda: With Extra Support and Cushioning

The Vionic Alameda recreates the icon with a few special updates. Rather than the usual thin, flat sole, the Alameda supports your arches with Vio-Motion Technology, aligning you from the ground up. A deep heel cup adds extra stability while shock-absorbing cushioning softens each step.

Aetrex Annie: A Fun Twist on Straps

Mary Jane Heels

Mary Janes are traditionally flat, but now you can be a trendsetter that stands a little above the rest with heeled Mary Janes. 

Rieker Mirjam Mary Jane Pump

This is one pair of pumps you’ll never want to take off. The Rieker Mirjam’s low, tapered heel provides solid stability for all-day wear, and a velcro strap is easily adjustable. And don’t worry—just as much thought was put into the aesthetic. Mirjam features perforated designs throughout as well as engraved metal detailing.

A subtle wedge takes Revere’s Osaka to new heights, especially as Mary Janes go. Your whole foot will enjoy soothing comfort with a soft textile lining, while the forefoot gets a little extra love with a special cushioned zone.

Open-Back Mary Janes & Mary Jane Sandals

Mary Janes, but make it summer! Rather than a closed-back heel, these one-strap slingback sandals combine the comfort of sandals with the nostalgia of Mary Jane’s.

Dansko Rowan: 

Cork footbeds are the highlight of this Mary Jane sandal. The natural material molds to the shape of your foot to provide custom anatomical comfort just for you. Leather linings add breathability while rubber outsoles improve durability, making this a wise investment for many summers to come.

Naot Arataki

The Naot Arataki also features a cork footbed and all its benefits, with the added bonus of being removable so that you can swap in your own orthotic as needed. Its sole is slip resistant and lightweight without sacrificing quality—and speaking of quality, hand-sewn Strobel construction makes these sandals strong and flexible.

Kids’ Mary Janes

Mary Janes are a childrens’ shoe staple for a reason. The strap-on makes for easy on-an-off for girls on the go, and it fits right in for both the playground and special occasions.

L’Amour Girls’ Mary Janes

L’Amour girls’ shoes are as practical as they are stylish for your littlest fashionista. The sole is cushy with a padded collar around the heel for comfort, preventing blisters during a long day of play. The hook-and-loop strap with Velcro closure makes getting ready simple while adorable colors and detailing will delight even the most stubborn toddler. 

The Paige Ruffle is a classic one-strap Mary Jane, while the Chelsea T-Strap provides an additional layer of security on the foot. We highly recommend either for your little ones!
