Some shoe styles endure the test of time, and happily, that’s the case with Mary Janes. You probably wore Mary Jane shoes at some point during childhood, either as a toddler in a soft-soled version or as a school-aged kid in the classic patent style that’s popular worldwide. Now that you’re an adult, you’ll want to wear them in a more sophisticated way, and that's where high-heel Mary Jane shoes from Macy's come in. You’ll want to learn more about what makes Mary Janes unique. Let’s get to it!
What are Mary Janes?
Mary Jane shoes are known for their signature instep strap, which reaches across the shoe’s vamp and secures at its side. Mary Janes for children are always flat, but women’s styles run the gamut. Do you like women’s platform heels? Then, shop for a pair of platform Mary Janes. Do you prefer women’s kitten heels? Go with sleek Mary Jane pumps instead. If you need something more stable to stand on, give block heel Mary Janes a try. Styles with a low, sturdy block heel are the easiest to walk in. Are you looking for the most comfortable Mary Jane shoes? For most people, that’s probably Mary Jane flats. Look for a pair with a narrow silhouette or slightly tapered toe.
How to Style Mary Jane Shoes
Are you wondering how to wear Mary Janes? It’s simpler to start with basics like black Mary Jane heel shoes. Like other types of women’s heels, they work with a range of women’s clothing. Try Mary Jane heels with classic pieces like a button-front shirt and a pencil skirt or a blouse and skinny jeans for a night out. If you’re ready for something more daring, look for Mary Jane leather shoes in cool hues or envelope-pushing designs. Chunky Mary Jane shoes (such as versions with platform heels or lug soles) will give your outfits a retro, punky vibe, while silver Mary Jane shoes lend an attention-getting metallic accent to your look.
