Adult Mary Jane Shoes

You are probably aware of Mary Jane shoes as a result of your childhood days, but adult Mary Jane shoes do exist combining a little bit of nostalgia with a grown-up shoe. As when you were a child choosing your back to school wardrobe, the adult Mary Janes are often most popular in the fall. However, since they're such classics, you'll be able to find them year-round, too. Check the latest fall collections from your favorite designers for the newest styles.

If your favorite girlhood shoe style still tugs on your heart whenever you see a pair, guess what? You can wear Mary Jane shoes with more adult details, but all the style you loved earlier in life. You get the same cute strap (in some cases, a T-strap) and the same rounded toe, but you can also get fun heels, an array of colors, and more. If you need a new casual pair of shoes, or even if you don't really need them, check them out. It will be hard to resist that wash of nostalgia.

What you may get from the adult version of the Mary Jane:

• Heels of all types or flats
• Peep-toe option among many round-toe, pointed-toe, or even square-toe options
• Metallic accents
• Ballet flats with Mary Jane straps
• Dressy and casual styles
• Animal prints and bold colors among a sea of the expected neutrals
• Sexy—sometimes even racy—designs
• Slingback styles
• Extra straps, sometimes thinner than the traditional straps

Mary Janes are such a universally lovable style, you'll probably be able to find them in almost any shoe store you visit that carries trendy, fashionable women's shoes. You can search your local Target, Payless, or mall and come up with so many adult Mary Jane shoes you'll have a hard time choosing the pair you like best. If you don't have a mall or too many shoe stores in your area, you can shop those sites online in addition to other online shoe stores. Be sure to check:

• Target.com: Here, you'll find inexpensive, trendy styles. You probably won't have to pay more than $35 for your favorite pair of shoes on the aisle.
• Walmart.com: The prices are low—quite often lower than Target's—but you may not have as trendy of a selection. It's still worth a look! You can find very casual styles, like Mary Jane sneakers among a few dressier picks.
• Macys.com: Prices vary by designer, but there is usually something for everyone. Check the pumps category to find T-strap Mary Jane styles and more. Check back frequently because they tend to run great sales.
• Payless.com: This is the land of "Buy One, Get One Half-Off," so get ready to stock up on some inexpensive Mary Janes and maybe even a few other styles. You can find slingbacks, peep-toes, and more. Expect to pay around $25 for the first pair.
• NeimanMarcus.com: If you are a sucker for a pair of Manolos, look no further than Neiman Marcus for your Mary Janes. You can get heels, pointed toes, and thin, sexy straps.
• Nordstrom.com: Here, you'll find a good mix of classic and trendy styles, styles to work in and styles to play in. Prices vary.
• 6pm.com: This is every girl's shoe wonderland. While the prices overall aren't dirt-cheap, you can get fantastic deals on shoes that would normally cost $100 or more. You'll find a variety of styles, shapes, and colors.

Adult Mary Jane shoes come in so many varieties, there's no reason not to own a pair. Whether your style is casual or more dressed up, you can always find something within the Mary Jane design. Slip into a flat Mary Jane sneaker for a low-key complement to your jeans or yoga pants, or just flex your foot and slide it into a patent leather pair with a thin strap and animal print design.
