Including a Katie Holmes-worn pair.
It might just be me, but I prefer Mary Janes over classic ballet flats once the weather starts getting cooler. My logic is that I can wear socks with them, and it doesn’t look strange. While I have a few coveted pairs from brands like Rothy and Vivaia that are not only a favorite among celebs like Katie Holmes, but that I love (and plan to buy more colors of), I’m also in the market for a few more unique styles. With that said, I took to the web to find the best Mary Jane styles from Madewell, Reformation, Sam Edelman, and more. Even better? Prices start at just $18.

Vivaia Square-Toe Mary Jane
$97 at Vivaia.com
If you’re in the market for a comfortable pair of flats, Vivaia’s Square-Toe Mary-Janes are the most comfortable style in my collection. Hence, why I’m eyeing them in another color. The knit shoe has insoles that feel like walking on pillows—I’ve even spent 12 hours on my feet in them pain-free. They’re available in 20 colors and prints, plus sizes 5 through 11. The square-toe style also has an adjustable buckle strap, a blister-proof pad in the back heel to minimize rubbing, and rubber treads to grip onto slick surfaces.
Tn Tangnest Retro Mary Jane Flat

Tn Tangnest’s Retro Mary Jane Flats are as cute as they are affordable, coming in at just $18. They feature a pointed-toe front, two adjustable straps, and a rubber outsole with a short heel for a bit of lift. Not only does it come with a pointed-toe option, but it also has a square and round design in over 20 colors. Plus, sizes run from 4 to 10.5.
Reformation Bethany Ballet Flat
$268 at Reformation
Who said Mary Jane’s have to be boring? Not Reformation. Its Bethany Ballet Flat comes in a mesh fabric with an eye-catching sheer cheetah print design. It also comes in eight other colors and materials, and features a silver adjustable buckled strap and a spacious round-toe box.
By Anthropologie Buckle Ballet Flat
$160 at Anthropologie
I love that these By Anthropologie Buckle Ballet Flat have the traditional look of a ballet flat, but with a strap. It comes in three colors: brown, white, and black, and sizes range from 5/5.5 to 10/10.5. The shoe is made from a leather upper and features a bow at the front, gold hardware, an adjustable strap, and a squared-toe box.
