Chunky Heel Mary Janes

Our chunky heel Mary Janes take the classic strap shoe and give it real weight underfoot: a rounded toe, a thick platform sole and a broad square block heel. Two thin straps cross over the instep in an X and fasten with a small metal pin buckle on the outer side. The mood leans vintage and dark academia rather than a strict 1920s reproduction.

Glossy or Matte: Two Finishes of the Black Mary Jane

Both versions are plain faux leather with no ornament. Glossy Black has a shiny patent look that catches the light at a swing dance or a theatre night. Matte Black is smooth and quiet, easier for campus and office days.

Styling Chunky Mary Janes with Socks and Skirts

Our photos pair them with white ruffle-top socks, sheer ankle socks and pleated or plaid skirts. With a drop waist dress and sheer tights they turn period; with straight jeans cropped at the ankle they turn everyday. The socks are styling only. You will find more pairs among our block heel mary janes.

Chunky Mary Janes FAQ

How do the EU sizes convert?

We offer EU 35 to 40. EU 35 is about US 5 for a foot length of 8.9 in (22.5 cm); EU 40 is about US 8.5 for 9.8 in (25 cm). Measure from heel to longest toe and check our size guide.

What if I have wide feet?

Go one size up. The rounded toe leaves some room across the front, and the pin buckle lets you set the straps where they feel right.

Are they comfortable for dancing?

A broad block heel and platform spread your weight better than a slim heel, which is why we suggest them for swing nights. Wear them at home for an evening or two before a long event.
