Kids Clog – There’s Something About Mary – Jane’s & the Patent Clog
Mary Janes are the little black dress of shoes – essential to a woman’s wardrobe and irresistibly sexy. They’re everywhere, the Mary-Jane style has even made it’s way into sport & comfort shoes! Take the Dansko or Sanita Marcelle clog for example. The demand for this shoe is always high, especially with the patent leather versions. Not only do you get a superb rocker bottom sole but you also get to keep a sense of playfulness with your look. It doesn’t matter how old you are, if you’re having a bad hair day or what weight you are – Mary Janes are going to work regardless. They are a timeless classic and never go out of style.
Here’s a little Mary Jane 101; “The name ‘Mary Janes’ comes from cartoonist R.F. Outcault’s 1902 strip about a character named Buster Brown. Buster was a little rich boy and Mary Jane was his friend. In 1906, Outcault licensed the Buster Brown name and likeness to Brown Shoes (according to the Brown Shoe Company Web site). By 1919, ads for Buster Brown shoes featured the characters in ads for the shoe with the tell-tale strap across the instep.”
Back in 2006, Fergie (from The Black Eyed Peas) had a solo album called The Duchess in which she was noted singing “When I wear – my Mary Jane shoes . . . ” the song begins. “My heart and my soul. They feel like I’m seven.”
This season’s fashions seem especially designed with the Mary Jane in mind. For so many occasions and no matter what you’re wearing, the classic Mary Jane is the perfect choice. I guess it’s just a girl thing.
