Ballerina trainers advice needed

[Torchout]

I'm in love with the trainers in a ballerina style. However I can only find designer ones or puma and past experience with puma has given me shredded heels. Has anyone bought a pair that isn't designer or has soft backs.

I got a pair from next - they were sold out but then came back into stock- just keep checking. I found them a funny fit though and sent them back. They were catching my big toe even in a half size bigger than usual

Terrible for your feet for most people

I have the Vivaia ones.

They are absolutely dead flat and the soles are very thin. Definitely more "ballet" than "trainer" in construction.

Lovely soft uppers but after a couple of hours my feet were aching so badly from the complete lack of support (and I was mostly sitting around in them). An expensive mistake here.
