Ballet Flats

Ballet Flats in Classic and Modern Takes

Ballet flats are the kind of shoe that works whether you need something for a full day on your feet or a simple finish for a dress. Our black ballet flats cover the everyday basics, while pink and brown tones round out the colour range. If you want a slightly more architectural front, our square toe flats borrow the same low, easy shape with a different toe. Wear ballet flats with jeans, a midi skirt or a slip dress and let the shoe stay out of the way. Shop the edit and pick your everyday pair.

Frequently Asked Questions on Ballet Flats

What makes ballet flats different from other flat shoes?

Ballet flats have a rounded toe and a low-cut vamp inspired by ballet slippers, which gives them a softer, more delicate look than a loafer or brogue. They also tend to be lighter and more flexible than other flat styles.

Are ballet flats comfortable for all-day wear?

Many ballet flats have a cushioned footbed and flexible sole, which makes them a solid choice for a full day of walking. Look for a pair with some arch support if comfort is your main priority.

What should I wear with ballet flats?

Ballet flats work with jeans, midi skirts, dresses and tailored trousers alike, since the simple shape does not compete with the rest of the outfit. They are also an easy alternative to trainers for a slightly more polished look.

Do ballet flats work for both casual and dressy occasions?

Yes, a simple leather or suede ballet flat can move between a casual daytime outfit and a dressier evening look depending on what you pair it with. Adding a slip dress or tailored pieces easily shifts the look up.
