Comfortable and stylish? These shoes might just be our latest obsession. After wearing them endlessly in the 2000s thanks to Alexa Chung, Sienna Miller, and Kate Moss, ballet flats are back with a bang – and we’re not mad about it.
Versatile enough to go with absolutely any outfit you’re planning on rocking this season, our shopping editor has found what she believes to be the perfect pair. Better yet? They’re £45 and from Marks and Spencer (obvs).
Looking a little like the popular Ganni Feminine Buckle Ballerinas (but for £325), these are a snip of the price and still have that uplifted edge you might be looking for.
Whether you’re going to work or on a date, these pointed-toe ballet flats are ready for every occasion – and they’re comfortable too.
For a touch of sophistication, opt for these patent leather shoes. Their flat heels and pointed toes create a sleek profile, while slim buckled straps enhance the slingback style. Equipped with Insolia Flex technology, these shoes ensure optimal comfort by enhancing the natural movement of your feet.
What more could we want when commuting or dancing the night away?
The Leather Patent Buckle Flat Slingback Shoes also come in pink – which is the perfect pop of color should you want something a little more feminine than black… though we’re tempted to buy both colors as we expect these to sell out pretty fast.
Available in sizes 3-8, whilst Ganni’s pair are crafted from faux leather, the more affordable option from M&S is made from 100% responsibly sourced genuine leather. This not only enhances their durability but also ensures they are long-lasting.
Marks and Spencer/Moraymum followed suit and also commented on how they are ‘fun’ shoes. ‘Fun shoes (pink color way), remarkably comfortable too. Give a 60s vibe to a more vintage look, but could look cool and modern with a wide leg trouser, for example.’
‘Cute shoes’ mentioned loveslife5, and they added: ‘Lovely shoes, very comfy, no need to worry about distances if walking, smart and on trend, works well with smart or casual outfits, gorgeous pink.!!’
A fourth reviewer called ‘Manchester Mad’ said they were ‘beautiful shoes’, ‘Beautiful comfortable shoes They fit really well and I have lots of compliments. Love them to bits!’
And just like that, we added them into our virtual basket and pressed ‘pay’.
