| can someone explain this to me? I do not understand why any grown woman would wear a shoe with a little strap/ ie a version of mary jane. It feels like an insane fashion choice. what am i missing? why do shoe designers do this? we are not 8. |
| It’s horrible. I’m with you, OP. |
| Comfort. If they are suffering from arthritis or other back pain or hip pain, this could be the shoe with relief. |
| Far more comfortable than clomping around in heels. I love my MJ style shoes. |

There are Mary Janes for men now.
https://www.highsnobiety.com/p/mary-jane-shoes-for-men/ I like them because they stay on. I can't understand why any grown woman would wear high heels that wreck her posture and cause ankle, tendon and calf injuries, and leave her unable to walk distances in comfort. |
| I don’t care for them either. |
|
I don’t currently own any, but have a foot condition that essentially limits me to shoes that lace or have a strap. So Mary janes are basically my only dressier option.
Thanks for judging. |
Grown women wear what they want to wear. |
| They've been trendy for a few years now, thanks to The Row. I find them cute but not my style -- too feminine. |
| I have trouble finding good ones, but I have two different size feet and it's difficult to find a shoe I can wear with a dress that will stay on my smaller foot. |
What shoes don’t stay on!? |
Amen. I’ve never owned heels and never will. |
| You were socialized to believe things that don’t make sense and it’s so wrapped around your brain you can’t think for yourself. |
Slip ons. There must be a reason why ballroom dancers and flamenco dancer wears shoes with straps and why marathon runners wear lace ups. |
