Black shoes in Mary Jane style with a platform heel
Platform Mary Jane ballerinas with a square toe are a bold reinterpretation of a classic style. Their geometric shape, inspired by brutalist architecture, gives them a distinct streetwear edge. The wide strap across the instep not only enhances their character but also ensures a good fit for both narrow and wide feet. Despite the chunky sole, these shoes are incredibly comfortable — lightweight and soft underfoot.
PLEASE NOTE: THIS MODEL RUNS LARGE — WE RECOMMEND CHOOSING ONE SIZE DOWN.

Questions about this product
What material are the Bohema Squared Mary Jane Pumps made from?
The Squared Mary Jane Pumps are made from Grape Leather by Vegea, a plant-based material produced from grape marc , the skins, stalks, and seeds left over from wine production. It is 100% vegan and a sustainable alternative to animal leather, giving the shoes a rich black finish with a leather-like texture.
Are these Mary Jane pumps good for wide feet or a high instep?
The Mary Jane strap across the instep makes these pumps more accommodating for a higher instep than a standard slip-on pump, as the strap is adjustable and helps secure the fit. The square toe box also provides a little extra room at the front compared to a pointed toe, which can be more comfortable for wider forefeet. If you have a very wide foot, sizing up half a size is worth considering.
What occasions are the Bohema Squared Mary Jane Pumps suitable for?
These pumps work well for a wide range of occasions. The platform heel and square toe give them a fashion-forward edge suited to creative office environments, dinners out, gallery openings, or styled events. They can be paired with wide-leg trousers, midi skirts, or denim for an everyday elevated look, or dressed up with a tailored suit or slip dress for more formal settings.
How should I care for vegan Grape Leather shoes from Bohema?
Grape Leather by Vegea should be kept away from prolonged exposure to water and direct sunlight to preserve the material's texture and colour. Wipe the surface clean with a soft damp cloth and allow to dry naturally. Use a vegan-friendly conditioner or protective spray suitable for plant-based leather to maintain suppleness. Avoid harsh chemical cleaners, as they can degrade the bio-based surface coating.
