Faith Marlie Faux Leather Chunky Mary Jane Shoes

Classic Mary Jane silhouette with a single crossover strap and a gold-toned buckle fastening that sits neatly across the instep. Faux leather upper with a high-shine finish that holds its polish across the toe box and strap alike. Chunky, cleated sole gives the shoe a grounded, substantial stance - a deliberate contrast to the dainty Mary Jane shape. Rounded toe sits wide enough to feel comfortable across a full day of wear without losing the shoe's neat, structured outline. Low heel, between 2.5 and 4.5cm, built directly into the block sole so the shoe sits flat-footed without sacrificing any of its shape. The Marlie slots into a wardrobe the way a good flat shoe should - doing the heavy lifting without demanding attention. The chunky sole stops it reading as purely occasion-wear, which means it moves easily between a tailored midi skirt for a wedding or graduation and straight-leg trousers for the office. The buckle strap is the detail that pulls it together: functional, but with just enough hardware to make the shoe feel considered rather than plain. Pair with sheer tights and a fitted blazer for a sharper take, or wear bare-legged with a floaty tea dress to let the contrast between the delicate silhouette and the substantial sole do the work. The high-shine finish means scuffs show, so these earn their place at formal events where the look is intentional from the ground up. | Dorothy Perkins Faith: Marlie Faux Leather Chunky Mary Jane Shoes In Black
