Ballet Pumps ... they're just ugly shoes aren't they?

[Twiglett]

yes

or

no

malory, i spat my coffee at you moving into second position.

I like them. But then I only ever wear flat shoes on account of having flippers.

I love them but they hate my feet, i have the blisters to prove it.

I live in them, all my shoes are ballet flats apart from 1 pair of trainers. I don't always wear them with the little bow, but they are always in the style. Bought some grey patent ones from Asda yesterday actually...

I've got some lovely little Boden ones, purple suede, I really like them

Am currently coveting a pair in Next.

Don't like the ones with bows on, though - just think they're a bit twee!!!!!!!!!

Bit chilly being that near the ground in winter though right? You'll be needing a hefty sole then to keep the chilblains at bay.

love them love them love them

not the chavtastic plasticy ones though, with matching top

shudderisimo

I've been toying with buying a pair, but think they might just be too flat and ankle thickening. I am only considering a deviation from my usual vertiginous heels because I am pregnant and apparently they arethe only thing to wear with wide trousers, If anyone has any other ideas I'm desperate to hear them.

KBear I wear mine with socks in winter - toasty. Most people I know do.

i love 'em, but i can't wear them. they hurt. terribly! ever pair i've tried.

epis, my cousin gets nice wide comfy ones with padded insoles from M&S.

my feet are narrow.

they're just not for me.

I love them. I envisage Darcey Bussell but I look like a big fat frump in them

Shoes hurt on narrow feet???? I always thought life would be so blissful without clodhoppers like mine!

I'm not really a fan of completely flat shoes. They do look nice on some people depending on what they are wearing them with. My cousin (17) has some cute ones with stars on - I tried some plain black ones but they were just uncomfy to me.

yep, narrow feet. your heels slip out of shoes w/o straps and your foot involuntarily clenches trying to keep your foot in. ouch.

Nooo don't say they're mutton I've just bought a lovely pewter pair - wear them with cropped jeans and fancy myself very Audrey Hepburn.
But I obviously am mutton as I am also lusting after these

completely flat shoes also exacerbate the achilles tendonitis in my right heel.

i've got dodgy knees, ankles and feet from breaks, operations, and having scholiosis.

Agree look cute on teenagers with shapely legs and small feet look silly and umflatering on ladies with 7/8 sized feet and chunky legs.

they look REALLY silly on tall skinny lassies w/long, narrow feet.

oh face it .. once again you've been caught out by the great mocker fashion

ballet shoes shouldn't be worn by anyone over the age of 6

they're daft daft

the Emperor is nekkid I tell you
