We’ve talked about Mary Jane shoes in the designer world, but what about great looking shoes that don’t have the designer price tag attached? Don’t worry, just because the world of high finance is going away, that doesn’t mean great taste has to go with it! After all, shoes are a girl’s best investment! So today we’re going to take a look at a few of my favorite more affordable Mary Jane shoes, but remember if you shop well (and don’t we all!) affordable doesn’t have to mean cheap, especially if you shop sites like Endless
where you can get free shipping and free returns if you need them.
I love these Mary Jane pumps! They come in so many great colors with great little details such as the highlights on the bow, really setting it apart from typical shoes without making them seem out of touch.
These Mary Janes are one of my favorites, I just love the way the different style elements in it are combined so seamlessly. I especially like the lacing in place of the strap it gives it a cute flair that keeps them looking like you’re a flapper girl in Mary Janes, but still has that high class style.
A complete change from many of the shoes we’ve previously looked at, but if you remember, as we talked about before, these are really Mary Janes! And more importantly they look so much cuter than a clunky pair of hiking boots or a pair of tennis shoes for those times you can escape the city.

Now that we’ve had a chance to take a look back at Mary Janes from the past, and now you know which type, and
now that we know how to clean them, its about time that we look at what kind of Mary Janes are out there, whether they’re heels or flats, or any other kind. Today we’re going to take a look at what kind of high-end or designer Mary Janes are available.
First up we have a Kate Spade mary jane style shoe. Here you can see the more traditional styling in the rounded toe and the thin ankle strap. I love the differences though, what a beautiful bright red and that little chain on that high ankle strap really make the shoe!
These interesting high heel Mary Janes may not look like they could be called that at first, but if you recall, we define a mary jane just by its ankle strap, and this one sure does have a lot of those! Its a little too adventurous for me, but I do love the look and pretty shine that Dsquared2 have created, especially with the small accents like the heel zippers!
These Marc Jacobs Mary Janes really differ both from the traditional looks, and even away from most high heels. While you can see the clunky heel resembles other shoes, the roundness it creates is very interesting. And using an extra strap, but not going overboard like the ones pictured above give it a unique look. Though I do have to say it reminds me a bit of something the Tin Man would wear, or at least his Tin Wife!
Finally we have these gorgeous Steuart Weitzman high heel Mary Janes. If you couldn’t already tell, these are my favorite of the bunch. They elaborate on the ankle strip without being overboard and the tooling details in the leather are amazing! Not to mention that beautiful brush color!
Do you have favorite designer or a favorite pair of high end shoes? If so, share with us in the comments! We’d love to hear about it! And don’t forget to include a picture!
