This is quite literally a pair of 'Mary Janes with a twist' with the leather pulled into all kinds of interesting contortions that make for a cute and unusual shoe. It may seem unthinkable that we'll all be wearing shoes that are so open to the elements before too long, but give it another couple of months, and these will be the perfect match for your denim mini. £58 at Office

I'm a huge Vivienne Westwood fan, but even if I wasn't, I think these lovely Mary Janes would still appeal to me. Navy shoes can be hard to find, and too many of them end up looking matronly, but these retain the classic Mary Jane shape, but add a bit of sex appeal with the high heels and curved sides. There's also a concealed platform to give you a little extra height, and I think these would be a great pair of work shoes, making a nice change from black! They're £372 at Net-a-Porter.

These shoes are rather pushing the boundaries of the term "Mary Jane", because they're a mix of a few different styles, with platform soles, and a double ankle-strap, on top of that triple Mary Jane style strap! Add to this a vivid orange strap, and what you end up with is a shoe that may not be the most versatile one in your wardrobe, but which is definitely a lot of fun. I'd wear these with darker colours, like black or grey skinny jeans/dresses, but if you prefer to stand out, you could always try them with something that will clash!

I have some serious beef with Matalan at the moment: they started selling some of their clothes online last month, but ... not their shoes. Which means that if I want to get myself a pair of these "mega platforms", I'm going to have to actually leave the comfort of my computer chair and head down there. Ah well, these are only £10, so the bargain may just be worth the journey. Despite being described as "mega platforms" on the Matalan website, I think it's the heel rather than the sole which is "mega" in this case, but that's fine by me, because that's the way I like 'em!

Granted T.U.K's giant dolly shoes aren't to everybody's tastes, but if you're an alternative dresser with a darkly whimsical style, and are willing to tolerate pointing and laughing from children in the street, I don't see how these chunky-soled MJs-from-hell can fail to raise a smile.
T.U.K are a bit of an anti-fashion brand on the whole, but in this case you can have your cake and eat it, as the shoes are festooned with bows.

This is the second pair of Arden B shoes I've featured this week, and clearly I need to visit their website more often, because I love the combination of suede and patent on these Mary Jane heels. It helps to create a very "wintry" look, and the red and grey colours are the perfect compliment for each other. Wear with matching grey tights - or, indeed, a matching red, if you can find the right colour! These are $98.

Well, it doesn't get much shinier than this, does it? J Crew have described these as "Mary Janes", but they look like plain old ankle straps to me - although I guess "plain" isn't reallt the right word for a shoe so shiny you could almost see your face it it, really! Personally, as much as I love metallics, I prefer them a little more muted than this, so while the pewter colour that's also available is almost perfect, I'd probably avoid the Christmas-wrapping-paper-like gold versions. You, meanwhile, can view all three of the available colours over at J Crew, where these are $160.
