Thanks for the link. I'm actually going to be in their area next week. I'll have to stop by their shop. =) Link to comment
justagirl4fun Posted January 7, 2011 Share Posted January 7, 2011 Have you even tried looking? Mary janes are everywhere. Just do a search at zappos or amazon...you'll find literally hundred of styles to choose from. 1 Link to comment

kootzkoo Posted January 7, 2011 Share Posted January 7, 2011 yeah i have seen them many places and you said "in women's sizes" I have not seen them in mens lol best of luck in your search! Link to comment
BabyLock Posted January 7, 2011 Share Posted January 7, 2011 yeah i have seen them many places and you said "in women's sizes" I have not seen them in mens lol best of luck in your search! True you will not find them commonly in mens shoes let alone sizing. However if you male trying to fit into a womens Mary Jane then a rough way to estimate is a Womens size 11 equates to a Mens 9.5 or perhaps a tad short of 10. Also remember that womens shoes are normally smaller in width (M-Medium or sometimes B width) and mens are standard at D width. So go with a factor of 9.5 = 11.0 and narrower width. Other factors to consider the heel may be smaller and offer a tight fit and the arch may be different if the the heel is more than 2 inches high/ A definite Trial & Error process. Visit a shoe store and find the fitting device called a Brannock measuring device. There are three - 1 mens - 1 womens and lastly childrens. Measure both on the mens and womens to get the full grasp of size differences and then you will be able to realistically see if something is in your ball park size. In the USA Payless and Famous Footwear are two good places to start your research. Both have websites and stores and have womens sizes larger than 10. Most major (Macys) department stores only go to size 10. Ebay is a nice place to visit but unless the seller accepts returns not such a great deal! One closing note - a lot of shoes are labled as Mary Janes but are not THE Mary Jane that is commonly pictured in some the forum pix(s) - so beware. Hope this helps..... 1 Link to comment
DprDJeff Posted January 7, 2011 Author Share Posted January 7, 2011 I actually did try looking... found a lot of shoes classified as Mary Janes, but they were in adult styles. I am looking for specifically older style schoolgirl Mary Janes. Found a fair number of them on crossdressing sites, but they were all in men's sizes. I'm looking for shoes for an actual girl.

Seriously, do a search on amazon or zappos. You will have to weed through a LOT of shoes, but you should find what you're looking for. I tried it myself. On amazon if you go to women's shoes and search for mary janes, there are literally thousands of options. On zappos, it was hundreds. Yes, there are a lot of different mary jane styles...dressy, casual, sexy, sporty, grown-up, childish, etc but if it's that important for you to have these shoes you should be willing to go through them all to find the right pair. Or maybe at least you could post a pic that shows exactly what you're looking for because really "mary jane" is a pretty broad description. One strap? Two strap? (For some reason the two pairs of mary janes I remember having as a kid had 2 straps.) Wide strap? Narrow strap? Color? Material? Flat soles, or a small heel? Link to comment

Basically the old 50's style school uniform Mary Jane shoes. Shiny black leather, flats, single strap that buckles. http://www.amazon.com/T-U-K-Womens-A7787L-Mary-Black/dp/B002P4LNB4/ref=sr_1_30?s=shoes&ie=UTF8&qid=1294462343&sr=1-30&searchContext=B003TXM3TG,B002DGSGFK,B0036OS1V2,B001UQ5DKK,B002N80O8A,B002P4LNB4,B000QU1WJ2,B003E50YWC,B002BUD7GQ,B002GU7WGM,B003921Z0U,B001EJN4F4,B000C9XQW8,B0023RTFYU,B0026MRYH2,B001B2N2GA,B002UXS14M,B002LIBLZW,B001TV068K,B002GWUJW4,B001FWOBBG,B000BO4NYE,B0035G0EYS,B001EJN3S2 Looks promising though. I like the slightly fetishistic design of those. Wonder if I could incorporate a lock on the ankle strap. =) I am buying them for a girl that is coming to visit soon. Had a pretty good idea of what I was looking for, but I'm thinking I'll settle for close enough. Thanks for doing all that looking. Believe it or not, I spent about two hours on Amazon looking for the ones I had in mind and finally just lost patience. Link to comment
willnotwill Posted January 8, 2011 Share Posted January 8, 2011 I got some MJ's off ebay in a size large enough to fit my MEN'S SIZE 12 feet. What was really amazing is I also found pointe shoes in that size in a regular NYC dance shop. Link to comment
