Help finding pointed ballet flats

11 replies

TattiePants · 31/03/2023 22:02

I’m not usually that fussy about shoes but I seem to have a very specific idea of what I want and can’t find them. Last year I bought then sent so many pairs back then gave up. The wish list:

  • Leather / suede / raffia
  • An interesting colour (not black, white, nude) or some interesting detail
  • Size 42
  • Preferably <£100
  • No ankle strap

A Google search brings up loads from places like Shein which aren’t an option. Zara has a couple of options and I quite like these from Office but the orange is OOS in my size and they’re not leather. Help!

Do they have to be slingback? These aren't leather, but they are interesting, lots of colour options and other styles to

Never heard of these but they do have lots of interesting colours.

I’ve promised DD a trip to New Look on Monday so I’ll have a look there but I don’t think they sell much in leather.

Animal print would definitely be a contender.

@NatashaDancing I could find at least 10 pairs that I like there! If I knew they’d get lots of wear then I’d pay that but I’m not sure how often I’d wear them.

I've got two pairs like this from Clarks. One pair in plain black was in the same, I got the same pair in animal print from the Clark's outlet at the Galleria in Hatfield for a mere £20. They were £79 originally.
