Burgundy Mary Janes, Low Heel

Our Burgundy Mary Janes, Low Heel come in claret, a deep wine red, with a glossy patent finish, a chunky heel on a platform sole and a metal flower buckle on the strap. Look at the side photos to judge the heel against the low heel in the name; the platform also reduces the angle of the foot.

Claret Mary Janes With a Platform and Flower Buckle

Claret is darker and softer than bright red, close to the color of red wine in a glass. On a shoe it acts as an accent: it lifts a black flapper dress, matches burgundy or wine dresses, and suits autumn outfits worn with opaque black or brown tights. The metal flower buckle catches the light on the strap, a small retro detail.

Wearing Burgundy Mary Janes Beyond the Party

Because the chunky heel sits on a platform, the pair feels steadier than a slim heel, which helps for an office day, a theatre night or a swing dance social. Sizing is in EU 35 to 40, roughly US women's 5 to 9. Measure your foot length and compare it with the size chart before choosing. For more heels, see our mary jane heels.

Burgundy Mary Jane FAQ

How high is the heel?

The side photos are the best guide to the heel height. The photos show a chunky heel with a platform under the front of the foot, which makes the pair feel lower than a heel of the same height without one.

What is the upper made of?

The upper is finished in glossy patent.

How do I keep the patent finish shiny?

Clean marks with a slightly wet soft cloth, then pat dry. Keep each shoe in a cloth bag so the glossy surface does not rub against other pairs.
