I can’t disagree with the fact the both Rothy’s and Vivaia have perfected the stylish mary jane with sleek silhouettes and eye-catching colors and patterns. The added benefit of throwing them in the washing machine adds to their appeal. But overall, I’ve felt disappointed by their lack of arch support and toe room (with exception of the Rothy’s clog). 

When I first saw these Ros Hommerson cuties pop up on my screen, I knew I had to try them. The fabric stretch upper is similar to Rothy’s and Vivaia, but the noticeable difference is the enhanced arch support. Plus, the footbed is removable if you prefer to add your own orthotic. 

The Ros Hommerson Naomi also features a square toe box that accommodates a wider forefoot and bunions.

If you prefer flexible footwear, you’ll love the Naomi mary jane, but I wouldn’t recommend these for hallux rigidus. 

Are your feet hard to fit? Good news! The Naomi comes in extended sizes and widths (as well as stripes, solids and patterns). 

• Sizes: 6-13 • Widths: N, M, W, XW • Price: $110 from Amazon & Nordstrom.
