10 Best Ballet Shoes ...

Will ballet pumps ever go out of style? I doubt it, as they’re so simple, yet available in a neverending variety of colours and patterns. Easy to slip on, and perfect with everything from jeans to dresses, ballet shoes suit everyone. So here are some fabulous styles – take note, Amy Winehouse, and stop wearing those awful flimsy pink pumps!

1 Multicoloured

Multicoloured Price: $325 at amazon.com
Okay, these are a touch on the pricy side, but aren’t they gorgeous! I love the shades of red and purple, and if they were $100 I might be tempted. They’d certainly look lovely with matching tights.

Frequently asked questions

2 Zip Trim

Zip Trim Price: $39.95 at amazon.com
If the term ‘ballet pump’ conjures up images of sweet girly footwear, then check this pair out for something different. The flower trim is made from a zip, which adds quite an edge to the shoes and makes them rather alternative.

3 Red Patent

Red Patent Price: from $79.99 at amazon.com
Need a bit of colour in your life? This bright red pair may be just the thing! With a button and strap trim, they would look fabulous with a dark outft, and maybe matching red gloves.

4 Lace

Lace Price: $550 at amazon.com
Yes, that really is the price tag (ouch). Maybe treat yourself instead of paying the rent? These shoes are absolutely stunning though, even if they must forever remain languishing on our wishlists. Well, a girl can dream …

5 Leopard

Leopard Price: from $59.99 at amazon.com
How could I not include leopardprint? I love the smart trim and neat little bow as well. This is another pair that would look fab with a black dress and woolly tights.

6 Soft Grey

Soft Grey Price: $59.95 at amazon.com
I’m not sure how supportive these soft shoes would be to the feet, but they are lovely! It’s not uncommon to see a flower trim on ballet shoes, but this particular flower is massive, so it’s really striking. Another thing I like is the elasticated side – if you have slightly different-sized feet like me, slip-on shoes are usually too big for one foot!

7 Patent Trim

Patent Trim Price: from $59.95 at amazon.com
I’m not sure that Fannie is a particularly good name for a shoe, but these pumps are super-stylish. The basic black is given a smart touch by the addition of a patent trim and back – simple, yet stylish.

8 Black Velvet

Black Velvet Price: $49.95 at amazon.com
I love velvet shoes and boots, and think this pair would make perfect evening shoes if you don’t like wearing heels. It’s often the little touches that make shoes interesting, and these feature both subtle and less subtle details. The former is the slightly ruched velvet, the latter is the beaded bow on the toe.

9 Purple

Purple Price: $39.58 at amazon.com
Here’s another eyecatching pair! The main part of the shoe is a pinkish purple shade, with a black patent toe. Your feet would certainly stand out in these (haha).

10 Cheetah with Ribbons

Cheetah with Ribbons Price: $35.99 at amazon.com
Okay, another animal print pair, but I love the inventive detail of this pair of pumps. They come with a set of ribbons (black, white, red and pink), whch can be woven in and out of the shoes to give a contrast effect. Four for the price of one!

Are you a heels or flats girl? How many pairs of shoes do you have, and what is the most you’d spend on a pair of shoes?
