Mary Janes

What are Mary Jane shoes?

An iconic silhouette, Mary Janes are traditionally closed-toed ballet flats with a chic band across the instep. At Rothy’s, we’ve made not one, but two versions of this whimsical style—perfect for date nights or simply to add a touch of special to every day.
Off-duty ballerina meets effortless chic in our contemporary spin on the Mary Jane, complete with a chic oversized bow to get you wrapped and ready for any occasion. As a classic alternative, our square-toed Mary Jane flats are an understated, sophisticated take on this classic style, with a slim strap design and a square toe made for exceptional comfort.

Are Mary Jane shoes comfortable?

Like all Rothy’s, our Mary Jane shoes are designed for exceptional comfort. Knit to shape with our signature thread spun from plastic bottles, these styles are structured yet soft—with just the right amount of flexibility to move you through your day. For our bow Mary Janes, you can simply adjust the ties for the perfect fit, while with our square-toe Mary Janes, the slim strap gently secures the top of your foot without adding pressure.

How do Rothy’s Mary Jane flats fit?

Rothy’s Mary Jane shoes should gently hug the contour of your foot—but never feel tight. Our unique knit construction allows for flexibility and structure, so your shoes can move with you without stretching out. For The Mary Jane, most customers recommend going up half a size for narrow feet and a full size for wider feet. To find out more about how each of our shoes fit, visit our fit blog.
