During the spring many of us start getting out and about a little more. It’s time to stroll through an interesting downtown, take the grandkids to a park, meander through antique shops and visit a blooming botanical garden. While sneakers are very on trend, it’s also nice to have other comfortable walking shoes for everyday life. So today I’m sharing a new pair of Easy Spirit shoes that check all the boxes…in style.

Venna Casual Mary Jane Flats

Now let’s check out the two ways I’ve styled these comfortable walking shoes for everyday life.

How I Styled the Venna Mary Jane Flats

Especially when I travel, I prefer to wear shoes that are easy to slip on and off. But of course I also want them to feel comfortable and supportive.

Venna Casual Mary Jane Flats

These Venna casual Mary Jane flats check all the boxes…with style. The Mary Jane style is very on trend right now. And yes, more mature women can wear them, too. Especially when the Mary Jane is as comfortable and yet sleek and minimalist like the Venna is. I love that it comes in this lovely natural color as well as a classic navy.

The shoe is very comfortable, lightweight and soft on the foot. And the flexible outsole and adjustable strap on the Venna makes it a great choice for women with bunions or other feet issues. If your feet tend to swell through the day, especially as you travel, then you’ll enjoy the fact that these shoes will accommodate that change gracefully.

The Venna also has removable footbeds, allowing you to easily use your custom orthotic for the most personalized, comfortable fit. And because the shoes have lightweight molded outsoles you can also trust that they’ll give you good traction for your spring adventures.

But let’s face it. When push comes to shove I want my shoes to do something for my outfit. I want them to look stylish and pretty. I think these Venna casual Mary Jane flats do that in spades. But you’ll find other stylish, comfortable walking shoes for everyday life at Easy Spirit, too.

All of the Easy Spirit casual shoes shown above offer eFlex Technology featuring arch support, a padded footbed and flex grooves. So they’ll keep you looking and feeling good as you wear them. They’re all offered in medium and wide fits in sizes 5 to 12, and they come in additional colors.

Blessed for My Day

Surely one of the most surprising things the Lord Jesus every did was wash the dirty feet of His disciples before the Passover meal, which would become the Last Supper. The disciples themselves were shocked at this act humble of servitude from their master and teacher. Peter even initially declined to have his feet washed by Jesus, protesting that this was too menial an act for the Lord.

But after washing the 12 disciples’ feet, Jesus explained that they should follow suit and wash each others’ feet. In other words, they should humbly serve each other. If we are Christ’s disciples we are also charged with “washing each others’ feet.” Of course that doesn’t mean we have to literally scrub the dirty feet of our friends or fellow church attenders. But it means we should serve one another, meeting real needs with humility. Let’s think of ways we can serve one another today.

So if I, the Lord and the Teacher, washed your feet, you also ought to wash one another’s feet. ~ John 13:14

xoxo, Kay

  1. Hi Kay. I wanted you to know that I ordered the Easy Spirit shoes but the company did not accept your discount code. I still think it is a great deal and appreciate your recommendation.

  2. What a great post – I am always on the lookout for shoes that are stylish and comfortable. While the mary jane look isn’t always for me (I’m fussy about how and where the strap crosses the foot), I love those Valina slip on flats.

  3. Such cute shoes!
    As a wearer of size 6W, one of the things I appreciate about Easy Spirit is that they start their wide sizing at size 5. Most brands start at 7. Well, actually…most brands don’t have wides at all, but that’s a different post 🙂

    1. Lisa, same here, I wear a 6W – and you are so right, so many brands start wides at 7. 🙂

  4. Kay, I think these shoes check both the comfort and stylish boxes! Bonus points that they are comfortable for people with bunions. Thank you for sharing!

  5. Kay, we are traveling to England in May. Is there a sneaker you would recommend that would be good for a lot of walking yet stylish with my outfits? We travel light. I walk in my Brooks sneakers everyday but they don’t seem right. I have a new pair of white OC sneakers. I have a pair of white Tory Burch sneakers but they hurt my feet. I need some advice. Thank you.

  6. Hi Kay. Hope you and Abigail are having a good time together. What straight leg pants are you wearing with the denim jacket and Venna casual shoes? Thanks

  7. Thanks for the post, Kay. As someone with narrow feet, I often go to Mary Jane style shoes because they stay on my feet better. Glad they are back in style! I will need to check them out. Enjoy your time with Abigail!

    1. I think they do have some narrow shoes at Easy Spirit, but I’m not sure. I do not have other recommendations right now. But maybe other readers have some.

    2. Marmi has stylish, narrow, comfortable options, but they are pricey. However, the shoes are well-made and long lasting. Hope this helps.

  8. Those maryjanes look very comfortable and a good price too. The light Kakhi pants you have on…..what brand are they?

  9. I’ve found Easy Spirit very comfortable but often too wide for my foot. The strap on a mary-jane might solve that issue.

  10. wow! its been awhile since I’ve worn easy spirit shoes. they sure have changed. love the more contemporary styles

  11. Hi Kay,
    Great post. Arthritis in my feet means I need a wide shoe-and I never trust myself to know what is “cute”! I ordered the Mary Janes, but your code is NOT stackable sadly. Thank you!

    1. Thanks Kay. Will have to check out the cute, comfortable shoe choices, especially the mesh slip on flats. Also like the outfit you are wearing. Would you share the details for the pants and matching top? Enjoy the time with your daughter at the conference. 😊

  12. Glad you and your daughter got some much needed mother and daughter time! 🥰 Hope you enjoy your retreat. 😀

  13. Good morning, Kay. Hope you are enjoying the conference and the special time with your daughter. Have a great weekend!

  14. FYI, Kay, the Easy Spirit website would not allow me to use the KAY20 code in addition to their sale price.

    1. Yes, I do apologize for that. They assured me they would stack, but evidently it’s not. I can’t get in touch with my contacts at ES because they seem to be out of the office for an extended period. I’m sorry for the frustration.

  15. I really the pants you are wearing with the denim jacket in video about the Venna casual shoes from Easy Spirit. Where can I get those pants?

  16. Cute shoes! Another commenter asked about narrow Easy Spirit shoes. I have very narrow feet, and the leather Easy Spirit AP1 comes in narrow. I love mine!
    T he AP2’s are canvas and they come in narrow.

  17. Love the shoes but they wouldn’t let me stack your coupon code on top of the site wide sale discount 🙁

    1. Yes, I’m so sorry about that. They assured me they would stack but I can’t get a hold of any of my contacts at Easy Spirit. I do apologize for the frustration.

  18. The Venna Mary Jane’s look fantastic and I feel the instep strap would keep the foot from sliding forward crowding the toes. I’m getting them in natural color pronto. By the way your hair is very becoming in the length and style you’re wearing in the photo. Blessings, Sandra

  19. Personally. I seldom wear sneakers. I much prefer casual slip on shoes or sandals . I have a bunion, so need a wide shoe. They can be hard to find. For something dressier, I love kitten heels and hope they stay around a long time.
