Ballet flats for narrow feet?

[TheBelmont]

my skinny feet mean they either gape or flap about at the back while my toes are all scrunched up at the front trying to keep them on! Any recommendations of ballet flats for skinny feet…and I mean proper flats…no hint of a raised heel.
I used to wear Kenneth Cole gentle souls many years ago which were a delight but nothing doing at the moment (and they are tricky to get hold of in uk)

I feel your pain as I have the same issue. I got some fab gold ones from Hush last year that fit perfectly! I have also had success buying shoes from Jigsaw in the past. May be worth a try.

Toms do flats and they're quite narrow too.

Thanks for the suggestions! A friend recommended All Birds…they’ve just arrived and I can’t see me taking them off my feet again. Super comfy, great fit.

Just be careful OP.
Completely flat soles are bad for your back so don’t wear them constantly.

Pretty Ballerinas, but only the Shirley style with the elasticated back.

Pricy but you can usually find some in the sale/ outlet section of their website. And they last forever.

PS, if anyone on this thread has a suggestion for heels for narrow feet (my problem is more a thin heel and low volume foot than a narrow forefoot) then I'm all ears...

Even with the PB ballet shoes I buy a size 40 but am really a 41 (in lace-up shoes). I think it's a common strategy for those of us who have difficulty keeping shoes on our feet, but can't be good.

@massifcentral I’ve pretty much given up on heels full stop. I look back to 20s me and wonder how on earth I managed to wear them all the time…they were so difficult to keep on my feet! thanks to lockdown I lived in trainers flip flops and bare feet and now i look at the gorgeous heels hiding at the back of my wardrobe with a mix of nostalgia and horror 😂. I can’t see me ever going back. Narrow feet are pretty much ignored by shoe manufacturers…I can find wide fit everywhere (looking at you M&S….why are nearly all your shoes wide fit?!)

I struggle to find shoes that fit for exactly the same reason.
I have to have insoles and heel grips in every pair of shoes I own.
I hate shopping for shoes.

So true about all the wide fit options!! I don’t need even wider.
I’m eying these up as Dune tend to come up narrow and they have a strap.

I have narrow feet. I buy US 6 2A (also labeled 6AA) or 6N narrow fit shoes from the US. 6B or 6M is for normal-width feet and they are too wide for me. I void 6C, 6D which are wider fit. I think they used to have AAA and AAAA extra narrow shoes over there, but those are getting rarer.

Would these work for you, they're from Zara? I have them and they're very comfortable and stay on your feet thanks to the little bow strap across the top.
They're very light and 'flatten' so also fit in a handbag as a comfortable change of shoes as I found out in London yesterday!

Have a look at Reqins. It’s a French brand. Lovely ballet pumps and flats.
