What ballet flats are you buying for Autumn?

[loveawineloveacrisp]

Considering these but they're expensive for what they are. But I want soft leather, and I like the elastic strap. Fed up of wearing trainers in the 'in between' season.

Has anyone found anything lovely?

Quoting myself because I love spell check making my foot problem lurch to the right!

I wear ballet flats in the autumn, for me it’s not cold enough yet for my boots, and don’t want to wear sandals in the rain. I can’t wear trainers at work. Mine are a few years old from New Look, they get dug out this time every year!

There are much more stylish options with plantar communists ...

I have a pair of leather pony skin fur with a leopard print pattern I bought in GAP I think about 20 years ago. You just reminded me to go dig them out…

I have those , electric blue snakeskin, silver, pewter (woven), black quilted black, red with an ankle strap, gold and pink satin.

I think I’m going to have to get the crates of shoes out of the loft and onto Vinted…

I’ve just bought these, handy for work on days where I’m at an event and want to be smarter than trainers as an autumnal alternative to my loafers and easy to navigate train and tube and steps and a bit of a walk. Not cold enough for boots yet, obviously I wouldn’t wear these in the rain but they will go with a lot of my clothes.
in case the image doesn’t load they’re a pair of suede ballet flats with one strap across the top in a chocolate brown colour.

The only ballet flats I’ll wear - normally get them from the Outnet or Netaporter sale though. Size up half a size!

Meher Kakalia - but not when its raining....

Where are they from? Is the sole rigid or bendy?

Fitflop are so good.

Melissa because they’re waterproof 😉

orthopaedically ugly tho’

I just bought these very much reduced on sale. Gabor are normally expensive.
I have to have a wedge on ballets as dead flat shoes kill my feet and my calves.

You're meant to put them on your feet, not your testicles.

I can't walk in them for that reason, they fall off my feet. But, a ballet flat thread will often get recommendations of mary janes, which you can drive and walk in and which I live in all summer.

I already own plenty of shoes. I dont buy new ones because i think there might be a faddy trend that I must follow....

I dont love ballet flats, they arent very practical.

I actually need funeral shoes. Only really have boots, trainers and sandals. But it would be good to get something I'll wear again.

@loveawineloveacrisp

Would court shoes work, OP?

I also impulse bought these from Skechers. The jury is out at the moment but they will probably look better with long trousers rather than my PJs.

I love my Skechers slip ins Dogz. They’re cute and comfy.

TBH, I don’t give a fig about trends and only wear colourful prints or bright colours. You won’t catch me dead wearing brown or beige!

I wouldn't ever wear court shoes again. I'm about to retire from work so don't even need work shoes.

If money was no object then these are the ideal funeral shoe as they last for ever. https://www.ferragamo.com/shop/gb/en/women/shoes/uk-ballet-flats/varina-soft-775746--24

They now have a variant with a mary jane strap too.

For those wanting to not spend too much Tk Maxx have some nice ones.

These . I prefer the pointy toes but I also know what they did to my feet when young 😬

Try a flattish mary jane. The strap makes them stay on better than a ballet. You can get comfortable (as in padded, orthopaedic-adjacent) mary janes more easily than ballet flats, which would be a consideration for a funeral.
