Square Toe Mary Janes

Not your typical pair of Mary Janes. Featuring not one but two straps across the vamp, plus a slingback strap, this standout design is a reinvention of a beloved classic. With a low block heel and a classic black finish, these square toe shoes offers both style and ease — just slip into them and you are all set for the day. Reach for them on days when you need something stylish but fuss-free, and style them with a buttoned down blouse and cigarette pants for a smart-casual office look.

• Breathable lining
• Faux leather
• Heel height (cm): 3
