I’m looking for leather, comfy, supportive, ideally nice-looking ballet flats.
Please can you give me your recommendations?

French Sole have beautiful ballet flats but are spendy. Butterfly Twists are more reasonable priced. Alternatively there's next, M&S and the usual places.

I have these and they are excellent, the most comfy shoes ever despite my wide feet and bunion

I had some French sole ballet flats which were lovely and comfy, but then the heel part sagged and collapsed after only a few weeks of wear and looked awful.

Hobbs ballet flats are also good.

Supportive ballet flat is an oxymoron trust me!

I have these in lots of colours. Cost a fortune but so comfy and last years

A bit more cash than the average but gabor flats are so comfy

I have huge trouble with ballet flats as I have a narrow foot and high arch. After trying on about 100 pairs I found these, they are SO comfortable, go with most things and look quite pretty: www.johnlewis.com/geox-women's-lamulay-bow-detail-ballet-pumps-light-taupe-leather/p3457138

So soft, just bought red ones.

Was in TKmaxx yesterday and the had some Geox pumps, have a look online.

I have bought Guess (cut my feet to pieces) Geox (very comftable) Tods (fine but not that comfortable) Clarks (wide fit fine) all from TKmaxx.

Those Russell & Bromley one look very nice.

@Oly5 thanks for the link to those shoes. I'm going to get them! Smile

Oly5 · 16/05/2018 10:30

No problem! Worth getting into a store to try them on if you can. I found that I’m different sizes in different colours! They do last years though.. abs are not flimsy
