Overview: the flat Mary Jane with studs
The Martinelli Lariana 1750-B465PY is a women's flat Mary Jane ballet flat in leather, in black and burgundy, with a very clear approach: classic Mary Jane lines, a thin buckle strap and a detail of metal studs that gives it a rebellious air. It is a shoe made for everyday use, with the comfort of a flat sole and the character of a distinctive detail.
It suits anyone looking for a comfortable, easy-to-combine shoe with a bit more personality than a plain ballet flat. It is neither a formal dress shoe nor a sports shoe, but a leather Mary Jane with a modern touch.
Design and style: buckle strap and studs
The design rests on a smooth leather upper, a low opening lined with silver metal studs, a thin strap that crosses the instep and closes with a buckle, and a round toe. The whole balances the delicacy of the Mary Jane with a bolder detail.
Black is the most versatile colour and makes the silver sheen of the studs stand out; burgundy, a deep wine tone, adds warmth and goes well with greys, beige and navy. It is a shoe that works with simple looks, to which it gives personality, and with smarter outfits, to which it adds a modern counterpoint.
Materials and finish
The outer is smooth-finish cowhide leather, a natural material that keeps the shape of the shoe, adapts to the foot with wear and is easy to clean. The stitching and the placement of the studs look clean and even.
The lining combines leather and textile and the insole is padded. The sole is flat and light, and the strap has an adjustable metal buckle.
Everyday comfort
The comfort of this ballet flat rests on a flat, light sole, a padded insole that cushions the step, a rounded last that gives the toes room and a soft leather that adapts over time. The buckle strap lets you adjust the hold to the volume of your instep.
Being a flat shoe, it offers a natural, light step. It is worth trying them on with the tights or socks you will wear and checking the heel is held securely.
Flat sole and buckle strap
The flat, light sole is the feature that defines the model: it offers freedom of movement, keeps the shoe light and lets you wear it with any garment. It is the type of sole that best combines comfort and style in a ballet flat.
The buckle strap is the most practical solution for a Mary Jane: it lets you adjust the hold on the instep and keeps the foot secure when walking. Check the buckle is firmly closed before heading out.
For which occasions
These are ballet flats for casual work, city life, dinners, travel and the weekend. Their studded look makes them equally natural with jeans or a skirt or dress.
They are not waterproof. In heavy rain or very wet ground, a membrane shoe is better. For everyday use in spring, summer and autumn, and on dry winter days with thick tights, they do the job comfortably.
How to wear them
With straight or skinny ankle jeans, the Mary Jane shows in full and adds a rock touch. With a midi skirt or knit dress it creates a modern contrast between the delicate and the daring. With tailored trousers it works well for the casual office. With thick tights or fine socks it looks especially good in autumn.
On top, leather jackets, blazers, trench coats and knitted jumpers all work. For a complete look, match the Mary Janes with a bag or belt with silver hardware.
Our opinion at Calzados Vesga
Our verdict is very positive: it is a well-resolved leather Mary Jane, with a stud detail that sets it apart without overloading it, a practical buckle strap and a very comfortable flat sole. It delivers what it promises as an everyday shoe with personality.
For anyone who wants a flat ballet flat that goes with almost everything and does not go unnoticed, black with silver studs is a safe choice and burgundy adds an elegant touch of colour.
Size guide and fit
The model comes in EU sizes 35, 36, 37, 38, 39, 40, 41 and 42. The last is normal, with a round toe. If you are between two sizes, choose the larger, especially with a wide foot or thick tights.
To measure, stand with your heel against a wall, measure to your longest toe and leave 5 to 10 mm of room. That space stops the toes touching the end and lets the foot swell during the day. If you have a high instep, the buckle strap will let you adjust the room.
Care and cleaning
Smooth leather needs simple care. Wipe it with a soft, slightly damp cloth to remove dust and apply a colourless cream or one matching the shoe from time to time to keep it flexible and keep its colour. If it gets wet, let it dry at room temperature, away from radiators and heaters.
Do not machine-wash the ballet flats or submerge them. Clean the studs and the buckle with a dry cloth. Store them with paper inside so they keep their shape. With this care the leather keeps its look for years.
Before you decide
They may not be what you want if you need a waterproof shoe, a lot of cushioning or a heel. They are not ideal for very long walks or uneven terrain either.
They are perfect if you want a flat leather Mary Jane with studs, a buckle strap and a padded insole for everyday use for much of the year.
