Soft ballet pumps from Primark

21 replies

I know we often discuss recommendations for soft ballet shoes, but I've just bought a pair from Primark, they were £4. Colour options are black, silver, pale pink, red. I bought the pale pink and will probably go back tomorrow a buy a red pair.

They're lovely, sooooo soft. Even if they only last through the summer, you can't complain at £4 per pair!

yes , i had a pair last year , a beige colour and they are so comfy, hoping to get some more . i dont normally buy cheap shoes but these seem to be the only ballet style one that fit my odd feet!

Primark ballerinas are the best ! I have some one atm as slippers, they're real suede and so so comfy.

I bought a pair of these last summer. they've been stomping around rome, Barcelona, Thailand, various camping trips and general daily life and they're only just falling apart. not bad for £4! Grin

Are they really flat though that you can feel the ground when you walk in them? I find a lot of ballet pumps too flst & thin soled to walk in any great distance.

Anyone got any photos of these?

MissBlake · 30/04/2014 21:54

Newlook do some for £7, 99 if anyones interested. They are not totally flat either and they come in a wide range of colours. I have them in nude and navy and for the price they are great.

Dont want toe cleavage
Any good for this?

SunnyFeet · 01/05/2014 16:10

The Primark ballet shoes don't give toe cleavage. I went back today and bought the red pair, I'm really pleased with them, I can't believe how soft they are, they're ideal for running around town in my lunch hour. They're very pretty and feminine Smile

I really like them but they don't last long

BeyondTheLimitsOfAcceptability · 01/05/2014 18:47

They have silver? Fab, I need flat shoes to go under my bridesmaid dress!

JuliaScurr · 01/05/2014 18:53

I like Primark ones but I get such bad pain in my heels for weeks after wearing them that I can't anymore.

cluecu · 01/05/2014 19:35

The Primark ones have thin soles but I can walk all day without them bothering me! I buy the material ish ones rather than the smooth shiny ones Smile

I want to try Lidl ballerina pumps! Anyone know if they're any good? They are like £6 and look quite sturdy...

MrsEdinburgh · 02/05/2014 17:19

This thread has had an extremely bad influence on me Wink

I went into our Primark today to return a pair of skinny jeans that were too big.........and ended up coming out with 3 pairs of the aforementioned ballet flats Shock

I got a black satin pair, a floral black fabric pair & a nude faux leather pair. Love em!

PeppermintInfusion · 02/05/2014 17:24

I have a pair from lidl, plain black with a bow- very comfortable and sturdier than most ballet pumps thought get almost give toe cleavage

GoogleyEyes · 02/05/2014 19:55

For those who say these fit funny-shaped feet, what sort of funny shape? I've just wasted yet more £ on a pair of ballerinas that were fine in the shop but rubbed my heels raw after 20 minutes walking, and I'm getting desperate. I've never owned a pair that hasn't given me awful blisters.

I need something very wide on the toes and front part of the foot, and very narrow in the heel - might the Primark ones work for me?

MsAspreyDiamonds · 02/05/2014 20:46

How about these ballerinas from sketchers?

I also bought 3 pairs of the primark ballerinas [embarrassed]
