Love Miu Miu's Mary Jane Shoes? Then You'll Love These 8 Brands Too

I’ve always been a low-key Audrey Hepburn fan—so much so that I once dressed like her for a Halloween party. Naturally, if I come across Mary Janes that have her aura written all over them, there’s no way they wouldn’t shoot straight to the top of my list. Enter this ballerina-style pair from Lino Perros, which feels like a vintage fashion dream come true. With a Tunit sole ensuring all-day comfort, these shoes are the #1 definition of versatility. Whether you’re heading to work, grabbing lunch, or stepping out for date night, they’ve got you covered!

If you’re on the hunt for a flatter version of Mary Janes, Dip Your Toes has some of the coolest options in its collection. My personal favourite is the one I’ve attached here. The brown houndstooth pattern is giving understated chic, and the structure is so elevated, that you would want to wear it pre-, during, as well as post-shift hours.

Theater has got the conventional Mary Janes as well as "Twiggy Piggies," the playful version of Mary Jane shoes. The square toe makes it a thousand times cuter and the rubber sole material will make sure you stay comfortable throughout the day (and night). Even their twiggy piggies with slingback detailing are proof that a little structural change goes a long way!

A little heavy on the budget, CHARLES & KEITH truly spoils us when it comes to Mary Jane shoes. Whether you’re after flats or pumps, they offer options in leather, fur, or denim, with single straps, double straps, or even slingbacks. The variety is so tempting, you’ll find yourself endlessly debating what to pick. After much deliberation (and several back-and-forth moments), I’ve crowned my absolute favourite: their chalk-white double crystal-buckle pumps. 

Not going to lie, it’s a total surprise to me that Bata has some of the classiest Mary Jane shoes out there. These brown/tan pumps with a round toe and a broader strap closure are perfect for everyday outings. While I’m not entirely sold on the hard-stitched transparent seams, they’re easy to overlook, especially considering the budget-friendly price. 

A near-identical dupe of Miu Miu's Mary Jane shoes, at literally 1/43rd of the price (yes, I did the math), Tresmode nails the ongoing Mary Jane trend with unfiltered precision. From the thin buckle strap and block heels to the glossy upper and square toe, every detail is spot-on, making it a must-have for anyone craving that exact vintage aesthetic.

P.S. Before you dive into your own price comparison, let me tell you that I calculated this based on the discounted price (because Tresmode’s Mary Janes are almost always on a huge sale!).

Another brand I’m totally hooked on for their Mary Jane shoes is Jove. They have an impressive collection in versatile shades like black, brown, khaki, and white. These brown ballerina-style Mary Janes are my personal favourite, though, because a) the velcro strap makes them incredibly adaptable and fuss-free and b) the colour and silhouette together look too good to skip. 

The class-apart(ness) of SHUZ TOUCH's Mary Janes is truly unmatched. While they might not be everyday-wear-friendly, they’re absolutely worth saving for those boujee occasions. The cherry hue takes the hotness factor up several notches, and the cushioned footbed ensures you can dance the night away in total comfort.
