Help finding block heel Mary janes in a neutral colour?

89 replies

I'd like some mary janes, double strap would be nice, with either a block heel or maybe flat. Everything seems to be black patent. I need them to go with a navy dress first off but will be put with other colours potentially. I'm struggling to find something in a neutral sort of colour!

I don't do heels so nothing too high, they need to be comfy. It's for 'going out out'.

Debenhams

Next - although these aren't block heels they do have a chunky heel.

Any good? You're right that most places seem to just have black patent styles.

Oo, I think I need pale gold or similar! I'd like them to be stylish yet comfortable for dancing in. Anyone know of anything?

I'm wondering if Mary janes might be too heavy?

actual dance shops may have what you are looking for, for swing dancing.

Justkoko · 22/03/2023 09:26

@TheWoollybacksWife ove seen those at next, nice as they are, I feel they might be a bit formal for going out in. Maybe maryjanes won't work.

These aren’t Mary Janes but are very comfy. The platform is quite high at the front so it isn’t a very “steep” heel.

@Findyourneutralspace possibly a wee bit too chunky for me.

@Hazelnuttella I've always liked clogs but they're a bit too inflexible.

ASOS is my go

Niftythrifter · 22/03/2023 12:44

@Findyourneutralspace I have tried those shoes on and they are patent and pretty high. I am also on the lookout for some MJs but would prefer flats or low heel!

Justkoko · 22/03/2023 12:54

A lot are quite 90s revival super chunky platform, I'm thinking a more Parisian!

I get a lot of love for these www.clarksoutlet.co.uk/p/261497554

Justkoko · 22/03/2023 19:33

@Rayna37 I've had those! Comfy but too flat for this. I need a bit of a heel.

Have you looked at hotter?

I realise not necessarily the most stylish but I used to wear heeled mart Jane's for work pre covid and they were the best by far.

HelebethH · 23/03/2023 00:03

I suggest have a look at Moshulu. The Reeve style may suit. Their shoes are always in lots of colours and I find fit true to size

Mondy · 23/03/2023 03:33

La Redoute do some that are a block heel in a nude colour. Not cheap but they are leather: https://www.laredoute.co.uk/ppdp/prod-350226292.aspx#searchkeyword=mary%20jane%20gold&shoppingtool=search

I second Moshulu

Justkoko · 23/03/2023 11:43

I love the Bobbies ones. I was looking at them yesterday. I can't find much on them though in terms of quality and sizing.
I'd have those ones you linked in every colour!

Here you go https://uk.trustpilot.com/review/bobbies.com

Some ppl seem to suggest the sizing runs a bit small. They carry the brand in Harvey Nicks but it's not on sale
