Any colour.

Price within reason.

Will wear them to death.

Just don't want them to rub. Hmm

TIA

I've just ordered every style in navy from Next-I'll let you know!

Hush Puppies. I've had their ballet flats in loads of styles and they are always as comfy as slippers Smile

Every single summer shoe i have worn over the last few years have rubbed except my precious Saltwaters and Primark cheapo ballet and slipper flats believe it or not. The expensive flats (pretty ballerinas and the likes) all rub.

Bloch are the best I've found - leather lined and with a stretchy bit at the back is best.

Clarks Originals. The current Lia Grace style is really soft leather and the Originals sole is comfortable and durable. Also worth checking eBay, lots of new pairs usually available from past season's collections.

I've been drooling over these and can't possibly afford them, perhaps you can though Grin
Also like Jing jings.

I third the newlook recommendation.

RedButtonhole · 08/03/2015 19:53

Another fan of New Look here, have had countless pairs of their flats over the years and they are always comfortable and last for ages even with me wearing them to death.

polyhymnia · 08/03/2015 19:54

Another vote for Geox - have a couple of pairs much worn and v comfortable. Have also had good ones from Hobbs which didn't rub and neither did my Pretty Ballerinas. Have had ones that did, horribly, from M and S.

FreeButtonBee · 08/03/2015 19:54

Bloch all the way. I refuse to buy any others. I do sometimes try them in in shops but can tell within 10 secs that they will destroy my feet. Yoox and tk max often have them reduced

Happy36 · 08/03/2015 19:56

For cheap ones I would recommend New Look too.

calzone · 08/03/2015 20:37

The orange New Look ones are only £3!!!! SmileSmile

Thanks everyone.

Sorry, that was meant to be a link to converse ballet flats but I'm not sure what happened!!? Anyway they are very comfy and go with anything, I highly recommend them. They come in loads of colours too, I live in mine in the summer.

carlywurly · 08/03/2015 21:08

Accessorize is your friend. Their suede ones are the most comfortable ballet flats I've ever owned. Like wearing slippers.

Clark's Freckle Ice: www.clarks.co.uk/s/freckle%20ice

Thick rubber sole so you can be on your feet all day and you still feel like you're walking on air. I have two pairs already.

Magmatic80 · 08/03/2015 22:10

Yep, New Look. EXCEPT, after a while of ballet flats my joints are agony Sad
