10 All-Grown-Up Mary Janes

It's not often that a shoe makes our hit list for well over 20 years, but that's the power of a bona fide classic.

So, we rounded up the 10 chicest Mary Janes out there. From Betsey Johnson's triple-strap, oxblood flats to Zara's dangerously pointed, vampy version, the steppers ahead prove that this strappy style isn't just a nostalgia trip.
