Women's Mary Jane

How have modern Mary Janes been updated for contemporary style?

Today's Mary Janes feature sleeker silhouettes, refined details, and premium materials that feel fresh and current. You'll find options with pointed toes instead of rounded, and even heeled versions. Our collection includes leather and suede finishes, modern colourways, and subtle hardware. These make the shoes appropriate for professional environments and stylish enough for weekend outings.

What are the best ways to style Mary Jane shoes with professional and casual attire?

For the office, pair Mary Janes with tailored trousers, midi skirts, or sheath dresses for a polished look. The strap detail adds visual interest while maintaining professionalism, making them great corporate shoes. Casually, style them with cropped jeans and a tucked blouse. You can also wear them with tights and a sweater dress during cooler months.

What should I look for in terms of fit and material when selecting Mary Jane shoes?

Choose Mary Janes with adjustable straps when possible, as they allow you to customise the fit across your instep. Look for soft, breathable materials like the leather that’s common across all our women's flats. The strap should be secure but not tight, and there should be adequate room in the toe box. Our FRANKIE4 Mary Janes feature the Sole Saver Pack® for customisable arch support. This ensures you get the perfect fit.

How does the strap on Mary Jane shoes contribute to a more secure and supportive fit?

The strap prevents your foot from sliding forward, which is especially important in heeled Mary Janes. This secure fit reduces pressure on your toes and helps distribute your weight more evenly across your foot. The strap also keeps the shoe firmly in place, eliminating the need to grip with your toes like you might in other women's casual flats. Combined with our podiatrist-designed footbeds, this creates a stable, supportive wearing experience throughout your day.
