Ballet pumps with kitten heels...do they exist?

I want a pair of cute ballet pumps with a little heel for work but I can't find any anywhere!!

Please can someone help me find some - or failing that, some other cute and funky shoes I can wear to work...

Monkey - i can't afford Boden!!

i was thinking somewhere like Schuh or Office!

i'm sure office will do some. i think they're pricey though. have you looked at m&s?

AitchTwoOh · 15/04/2008 11:22

these? although i prefer the red wedges on the left, if pushed. actually quite a few nice shoes in M&S at the mo.

TillyScoutsmum · 15/04/2008 11:26

more heel needed ?

slight wedge

no - i don't like either of those! sorry!

there's a nice pair on the M&S website but they only come in purple and pink and i need them in black really!

i just want a pair of smart black shoes, with a bit of a heel on them to keep my trousers from getting ruined!! to give you an idea, i like these but the heel's a bit high!!

Your links aren't working TUN.

LittleMissBliss · 15/04/2008 18:14

These too much bow?

LittleMissBliss · 15/04/2008 18:19

patent?too high?

AitchTwoOh · 15/04/2008 18:28

are you a member of the police or armed forces? if not, then no. no black shoes. it's a waste of an accessory.

cocolepew · 15/04/2008 18:28

surely if they have kitten heels then they can't be ballet pumps? they'd be, erm, kitten heeled shoes.

LittleMissBliss · 15/04/2008 18:33

That's all i can find, any of those any good?

too flat ?

TillyScoutsmum · 15/04/2008 19:33

too fussy ?

arthursmum · 15/04/2008 20:04

I would suggest a trip to Nouveau Regarde - or New Look. Cheap and cheerful and they had a lot of ballet pumps with kitten heels last time I was there. I bought two lots!

NutterlyUts · 15/04/2008 20:21

Clarks have a couple of styles that might be what you're looking for?

Can't link to pages but the styles are called:
Danube
Cafe Alaska
Chit Chat
Calico Heart
Cloud Puff (who thinks of these names?!)

from here under womens then smart shoes

TillyScoutsmum · 15/04/2008 21:46

any good ?

Aitch - the reason i want black shoes is so i can match them with anything! i'm so boring!

i like those M&S purple ones but i'm wary of colour in shoes (see above) some of the other ones are nice as well - but they're none of them exactly what i'm looking for!
