I’ve been watching the evolution of Fitflop mary janes over the years and I believe they’ve perfected their craft in the Delicato Wave Edge – and just in time since mary janes are trending big time this spring.
While the golden yellow ones caught my eye initially, I decided to order the denim blue ones (called “cosmic blue”) as I really don’t need to call more attention to my size 10 feet. Plus the scalloped edge adds a special touch unlike other plain janes.
I like how they feel on my sensitive feet–the upper material is a polyester textile similar to canvas, but the lining is described as “leather/microfiber,” which is confusing because I’m not sure what that means, but it sure is soft against my toes and heel.
Since I have hammertoes and a tailor’s bunion due to rheumatoid arthritis, I’m dialed in to toe room and will not keep any shoes that irritate either. These Fitflop mary janes provide just enough room for my toes to feel comfy while still maintaining a slim profile.
The non-removable insole is lightly cushioned (more than most fashion flats) with extra padding at the heel. There is arch support but it’s not as enhanced as you’d find in Vionic flats. If your feet crave high arch support, the Fitflop Delicato MJ isn’t for you.
Yes, that’s a real adjustable buckle, not hook and loop velcro!
Overall these sweet mary janes are a welcome addition to my spring wardrobe. They cover my toes since I’m not quite ready for open-toe shoes, the fit and feel is comfortable for a flat and I love the style and color.
