Ballet Flats

[eggandspoonrace]

A bit like cotton, leather shoes are becoming a nightmare to find. I'm after a leather ballet flat for a wide size 8 foot. Is this even possible? Having hard time finding any that aren't for OAPs (no offence intended)..

Tommy Hilfiger?

Thanks Baroness i love the look of these they would be perfect but they seem to stop at size 7.5 and im definitely a UK 8 :-(

Do Clarks not do them?

Cocorose London do excellent flats and they have a sale on at the moment

Clarks?

Ps They go up to a 9 at coco

I am a 7-8 and wide foot

I buy an 8 and they are very comfy

Bloch do them (I mean proper ballet flats for everyday wear, not just dance shoes!)

I agree OP. You even have to be careful in Clarks now, not all theirs are leather

Pretty Ballerina. I don't think they have shops outside London. I've bought in store and online. Their sizes are very standard so online is fine. I love them.

There is also French Sole but I think Pretty Ballerina are nicer.

french sole are nice but they often say they are for narrow to medium width feet and recommend sizing up then dont ever have a size 9?!

prett ballerinas are maybe too expensive although i guess i would spend for the right pair.

Cocorose look good but the fact they fold puts me off - whats that all about?!

Clark’s, come in wide fit

Boden, but very narrow fitting

Have you looked at French Sole? I am a wide 9, and their sizes are far too petite for me!

Yes I think French Sole can be neat. I haven't bought anything from them in a long time mainly because of a very snooty assistant in the Sloane Street branch.

I have a pair from next in size 8 wide-I've found next have become quite good a having lots of wide fit choice.

Cocorose look good but the fact they fold puts me off - whats that all about?!

I have a pair of Cocrose but I only use them at things like ceilidhs, wedding dances and the like where I swap my "proper shoes" for dancing and/or walking home. They fold up and easily fit in to a small handbag. They come with a little fold up cotton bag you can put your "real shoes" in.

Zara have some leather ballerinas at the moment which go up to a size 9 in different colours.

French Sole come up a bit wide if you can get the woven leather ones. They stretch and I do have fairly wide feet and I have found them excellent. I didn’t size up. Good value in the sales.
