Chunky Heel Mary Jane Platforms

Our chunky heel Mary Jane platforms are the boldest shoes in the range, in glossy patent faux leather: a very thick platform under the toe, a tall, wide block heel and a thin ankle strap with a small pin buckle. They are a modern take on the Mary Jane, with more Y2K attitude than 1920s restraint.

Four Glossy Colours of the Platform Mary Jane

White is crisp and fun as a reception change for a bride; black goes with everything from a sequin dress to wide trousers; pink is a bright bubblegum shade for birthday parties and festivals; wine red is deep enough for holiday parties and New Year's Eve.

Walking and Dancing in Platform Mary Janes

A thick front platform lifts the ball of the foot along with the heel, so the slope from heel to toe is gentler than the total height suggests. The ankle strap keeps the shoe on your foot. For a Gatsby night, wear them with a short fringe dress and sheer tights. The anklet chain in the photos is styling only. Other heel heights wait among our block heel mary janes.

Platform Mary Janes FAQ

What sizes do you carry?

EU 35 to 42. The chart in the photos gives foot length from 8.9 in (22.5 cm) for EU 35 up to 10.2 in (26 cm) for EU 42, rising half a centimetre per size. Measure in the evening and check our size guide.

Are these right for a 1920s costume?

They read more modern than period, so they suit a playful Gatsby party or a themed birthday better than a historical event. For a closer 1920s look, pick a lower T-bar or block heel pair.

Can I wear them all evening?

Many people do, thanks to the wide heel. We suggest a few hours at home first, and flats in your bag for the trip home.
