When I think of professions that require long hours of standing I can’t help but think of teachers. Hair stylists and makeup artists also come to mind. I happen to know a few hair stylists, makeup artists and teachers who have all complained about their feet bothering them at work. The culprit is usually their choice of shoes because they tend to go for looks over comfort. Well, I’ve got the perfect solution for your tired, achy feet, ladies. The Orthaheel Women’s Mary Jane Shoes are both great looking and comfortable and in my opinion, the best shoes for teachers.
Update 7/30/17 – These exact shoes are no longer in-stock, but I have found a similar pair here, which I have also linked throughout the article.
About Orthaheel’s Melanie Mary Janes
These shoes are built with podiatrist-designed support to help relieve heel pain! What more could you ask for in a shoe?
Just like the tires on a car, improper alignment of feet can cause wear and tear to other parts of the body… such as the knees, hips and lower back. That’s why leading Australian podiatrist Phillip Vasyli invented the Orthaheel technology that’s in this Mary Jane—to help provide heel pain relief while improving your body alignment, posture and walking gait. The ingenuity is in the Tri-Planar Motion Control system. It features a removable orthotic insole, which helps reclaim your foot’s natural alignment with contoured arch support and a deep heel cup, allowing your feet, ankles and legs to function properly. Elastic instep straps add a contrast color pop and a touch of stretch to the synthetic upper. Orthotic-Friendly.
- Podiatrist-designed, removable orthotic insole with a deep heel cup and raised arch support helps realign your foot and ankle to a natural position.
- Durable, textured rubber outsole helps keep you confident on your feet with sure-footed traction.
- EVA midsole provides lightweight cushioning to soften your steps.

My Thoughts
Love! There’s really not much more I can say about these shoes besides the fact that I just love them. I usually need major arch support in any shoes that I wear which is usually pretty hard to find. I always have to insert my own arch support which ends up lifting my feet almost completely out of the shoe. It’s quite frustrating, actually. The Melanie Mary Janes have the best arch and heel support I’ve ever experienced. And I’m not just saying that. These shoes are going to be my new travel shoe. They will be great for airports and long sightseeing walks.
Those shoes are so adorable!! Not only that but they look super comfortable. Thanks for sharing them 🙂
I need some good walking shoes for a trip I'm planning and these would be great. Thanks for the review.
