Fearne Cotton’s leopard print ballet flats have been a big hit with fans, and thanks to Boden’s current offer you can get them with £20 off – but be quick, as they’re selling fast
When it comes to fashion, no one knows how to balance playfulness with wearability quite like Fearne Cotton. The DJ and presenter is known for eclectic and fun style, whilst still showing just how easy these statement, joy-inducing pieces are to introduce into your wardrobe.
Her latest playful pick was Boden’s Cross Strap Mary Jane Shoes in leopard print, which she showed in her recent Instagram round up. Plenty of fans were asking where they could pick up the shoes for themselves, and a quick look at Boden’s website shows just how popular they’ve been.

Boden states the Cross Strap Mary Jane Shoes are “selling like hot cakes” with several sizes now out of stock. Although we imagine Fearne has quite a bit to do with putting the shoes on the sartorial map, the current discount is probably another reason the shoes have been snapped up so quickly.
Usually priced at £129, the code K6X7 gets you 15% off, bringing the price down to £109.65 and saving you £20. If your size has already sold out and you don’t want to wait for a potential re-stock, Boden also has a similar pair that are even more affordable; the Flexi Tie Mary Janes are just £55, and the 15% off code works on these too, bringing them down to £46.75.
Alternatively, you could snap up the ASOS Design Lively Premium Mary Jane Ballets in Leopard Print for £45 which have a hair-on leather upper and an adjustable buckle strap across the middle. We also spotted a similar style at Hobbs, where the Clara Leopard Mary Janes are now £69 down from £110, or at H&M, where the Mary Jane Ballet Flats are only £22.99, making them a great budget-friendly pick.
If you do want to get your hands on Fearne’s exact Cross Strap Mary Janes, though, they’re the perfect pick for spring and summer. The print means you can wear them for everything from casual every day to working in the office, and they’re a great alternative to heels for more formal events.
The uppers are made from 100% hair-on cowhide with leather linings which makes them durable and hard-wearing, and they’ve been given a slightly more modern twist with the double cross-over straps. The straps fasten with an adjustable buckle so you can make them as secure as you’d like.
The Cross Strap Mary Janes were hailed as “True to size and very comfortable!” by one shopper, whilst on the other hand another wrote: “These are cute, but they looked inexpensively made around the edges. I didn’t keep them.”
