Best Mary Jane Shoes for Women with Flat Feet – Supportive Outsoles and Firm Heel Counters!

Do you have flat feet and find it hard to wear shoes other than sneakers? Are you looking for a pair of casual or stylish Mary Jane shoes that can support your feet and prevent foot pain? Women with flat feet have a really hard time finding shoes that are comfortable to wear, especially when they are looking for a pair of casual shoes such as Mary Janes. The good news is that I have put together a list of the best Mary Jane shoes for women with flat feet based on my 10 years of shoe fitting experience.

The Challenges of Finding Mary Jane Shoes for Women with Flat Feet

Most Mary Jane shoes don’t provide any support whatsoever. If you have a pair of Mary Jane shoes at home, inspect the interior of the shoe. You will notice that there is no padding to support those with low arches. This doesn’t mean that all Mary Jane shoes are unsupportive, as some styles are a lot more supportive than others.

My Experience Helping Women with Flat Feet

I have tested several different shoe brands and styles, and over the years I became familiar with the best Mary Jane shoes for women with flat feet.

Most women who walk to the shoe store complain that they can’t wear the stylish shoes that they like. They complain that the only shoes that don’t hurt their feet are the ones that look the ugliest. I feel your emotional and physical pain! Hopefully, you will find the selection of Mary Jane shoes that I have put together supportive, comfortable and stylish at the same time!

Should Women with Flat Feet Wear Shoes that Have Built-In Arch Support?

Some women don’t like shoes with arches because they feel like the arch support digs into their feet. Some other women can only wear shoes that provide good arch support.

What Makes the Mary Jane Shoes that I Recommend Ideal for Women with Flat Feet?

The Mary Jane shoes that I recommend provide 2 key features that makes them ideal for women with flat feet:

1️⃣ Substantial and Supportive Outsole: The Mary Jane shoes that I recommend provide a substantial and supportive outsole that will cushion and support your feet. This feature is going to help prevent your feet from collapsing and turning inwards, allowing you to walk straighter. Take a look at the image below for better visualization purposes:

2️⃣ Firm Heel Counter with Targeted Heel Support: The Mary Jane shoes that I recommend also provide firm heel counters (back part of the shoe) with targeted support right below the heels. This feature will help prevent foot and heel pain. Take a look at the image below for better visualization purposes:

The Importance of Wearing Shoes in the Correct Size

In addition to providing substantial outsoles and firm heel counters, the Mary Jane shoes that I recommend can accommodate different foot shapes as they are available in different widths such as narrow (N), medium (M), wide (W), and extra wide (XW).

It’s a complete waste of time and money to buy shoes that are slightly too big, too small, too narrow, or too wide.  Think how sore your feet muscles will become!

If you prefer to shop online you must be 100% sure of your foot length and shape. Don’t insist on buying the same shoe size just because that’s the size that you have worn for most of your life. Your foot shape and size can change over time, and some of the factors that contribute to this change are pregnancy, aging and weight gain or loss. Over time and because of gravity, our feet might get longer and wider.

As we age, the body’s ligaments and tendons lose their strength and ability to spring back. This means that our arches decrease, which flattens and lengthens the foot and toes. This often results in an increase in shoe size by a half-size or more.

Do You Know Your Exact Foot Length and Shape?

Buying shoes online can be a challenge. If you are unsure about what shoe size you need to order online I suggest that you take a look at the resource below:

What Shoe Brands Manufacture Shoes with Arch Support?

• Orthotfeet
• Vionic
• Clarks

I will show you which specific Mary Jane shoe styles from those brands provide better support than others.

Where Can You Find Mary Jane Shoes that Provide the 2 Features Mentioned Above?

You can check if your local shoe shop sells them or you can buy them online. If you decide to buy them from the list I have put together make sure that you order the correct shoe size!

It’s a fact that shoes can make or break the outfit. Some women have flat feet in addition to several other foot issues, which severely restrict footwear types that will work for them.

Are Any Other Shoe Choices Available?

Keep in mind that everyone’s feet are different, and what might work well for some women in terms of arch support, might not work as well for others. Please remember that if the shoe is not fitting properly, it doesn’t matter how good it is or how much support it provides!
