Ballet flats: grown up but not frumpy!

[dyouwantfrieswiththat]

I want some ballet flats but not the dirt cheap new look type ones but equally not the Gabor granny level ones. Can spend around £100 on a good pair bit really struggle to find any that don't look really cheap but that aren't all built up and old fashioned. Anyone able to help me?

Fitflop

Boden have some or French sole. I'm on the look 0ut too have some leather office ones that I'm wearing to death

Marks and Spencer. You can get 4 pairs for that!! They're fab quality and last forever.

I thought fitflop were quite frumpy? No offence intended!

Can you link to the m&s ones please?

I don't get on with the Boden ones (too narrow!) how do the French sole ones come up?

French Sole or Repetto

Cocorose. I love mine.

The marks and Spencer leather ones for £25 are great

I have these and love them: www.massimodutti.com/ie/women/shoes/flat-shoes/animal-print-ballerinas-c1475031p8502261.html?colorId=111&categoryId=1475031

Dune are pretty on.

I've got these from Clarks, very comfortable

Sorry, meant to add, not in this colour but in dark grey and burgundy, both pairs bought last year.

I second the jutti flats. They are comfy and stylish.

Second Cocorose - I have the Clapham loafers that Pippa Middleton has been seen wearing and they're really nice and also really comfy.

I've tried coco rose but have the elastics red ballerinas but fear they look a bit pigs trottery on me

Blue Velvet shoes have a great selection.

If you're going for a funkier style, then French sole or Blue Velvet are good. For super sturdy and nicely fitting ones, I'd go to Russell and Bromley.
If you're getting a a plain black pair, then I actually like to save and get a pair from Next for £28 (all leather, cushioned with nice detailing).
I also have a pair of Fit Flop ballet flats and don't think they look frumpy on me + have the advantage of a lot of cushioning. They are very wide, though.

I have the Toms Jutti flats in taupe too and they are really comfortable. The suede is buttery soft.

Second french sole - but get a pair with a decent base. I spent ages looking for ballet pumps, didn't want to buy FS as they were so expensive but I've now had them for over two years so they were def worth the cost (but I only wear them in the office, not sure they last that well if you wear them outside all the time).

What's the sizing like on Cocorose? I'm a 4 or 4.5, would I need the 37 or the 38 from them? Thanks.

Have to say I agree that fitflops are frumpy, I wouldn't wear them. Never get the appeal and they're not ballet pumps surely - they're flip flops?

Have just looked actually and see that they do ballerina pumps but £75!!!!! No way I'd pay that

Butterfly Twists! They come in so many shapes and patterns and they are incredibly comfy. They have been a revelation to me!
