Mary Jane shoes
Mary Jane was a single strap across the vamp and it was very popular during the 20s. The shoes came in canvas for summer, leather for day wear and matching fabrics for formal attire. One trend for evening wear was to decorate the high heels with metal sequins or rhinestones. They could also be painted contrasting sparkling colour such as gold.

Some Mary Jane shoes had eyelets on each side and a ribbon tied in a pretty bow instead of a strap. You can wear your 1920s costumes in Australia with the Mary Jane shoes as the shoes are easy to find today because they have never gone out of style.
Mary Jane and T-strap shoes were common for dancing. The straps on the shoe kept it comfortable during vigorous dancing. The shoes could be coordinated with a good pair of stockings.
Strappy dancing heels
Triple, double and crisscross straps were very popular for ladies during the 20s in Australia. Just like T-straps, they were plain and hidden under clothing during the early 1900s but nowadays, the fancier the straps, the better. Some shoes combined the T-strap, the multi straps and the ankle strap into one shoe.
The T-strap shoes
If you want a 1920s costume in Australia that shows off too much skin then you should pair your costume with T-strap shoes. The straps in the 1920s were thick and they had minimal decoration. The straps became thinner as the decade progressed. They were covered in metal sequins or precious stones.
