Shoe finding challenge - I NEED these shoes. Can you help?

[Flangeofmingetown]

Will try and explain succinctly.

Red,White or black. Red is current obsession though.
Flat shoes sort of ballerina style except I want them to open lace across the foot and above the ankle.

They're in my head and they must be out there somewhere......

Do you mean like this but flat?

[Brillenbar]

Gosh I had some like that as a teen they were from oasis and I loved loved loved them. I think I also made myself a pair in navy such was my obsession. Then they were called ghilly shoes have googled but not much luck other than specialist Irish dance retailers. Sorry not much help

Sounds to me like Highland Dance shoes?

[Flangeofmingetown]

YES! very similar but a little more open on the foot like ballerinas. They are tempting though....

[Flangeofmingetown]

Tethers love the tan ones of the first lot. They would be perfection in red.x

What about these?

Although the photo shoes the laces finishing around the foot, they could also go round the ankle. And you could buy red laces to replace the ones they come with.
