Does this footwear exist?

Following on from the comfortable sandals thread:

Is it possible to buy a pair of shoes that is:

Basically like a trainer BUT either ballet shoe shaped or at least just slip on? So basically trainers but that only cover a bit of the foot so won't be as hot as normal trainers in summer.

NOT Skechers. Not the ballerina Converse, as they are not padded enough. Must be plain black or grey, and not have a big white sole.

I've tried searching but don't really know what to search for!

Lands end are only online, but their stuff wears well and they are good at exchange/refunds.

Sorry we have a Timberland outlet not far away so guessing they were previous season. These were very reasonable (about £30??)

Regatta these are

Thanks again.

Am going to start by trying the Skechers ones with an insole. If I have to have ugly shoes, I'd prefer them to be cheap ugly shoes! :)

Fitflop f-pop ballerinas are super comfy and not completely unstylish either - I've had lots of compliments on mine m.fitflop.co.uk/en/womens/shoes-and-clogs/f-pop%26trade%3B-leather-ballerinas%2C-black-%7C-fitflop%26trade%3B-uk/883945556470.html

I've got a couple of pairs of these, have got narrow feet too, very comfy

Just the ballet shoe bit?

Air & Grace seem to fit that bill

Thanks for all of these. I do want to be able to buy in a real shop though.

The Fitflops look worth a shot, although I have a feeling they might be too wide.

BriteRainbow, I want those now!

Have a look at Ecco.

Next?

Quite like those Next ones, but the wrong colours.

Ecco too £££.

Sorry - forgot to say thank you.

Have you tried Heavenly Feet - there are some ones but some great ones too and they are really comfortable -
