Square toe last gives the front of the shoe a modern, architectural edge that sets it apart from the classic rounded ballet flat. Single Mary Jane strap fastens with a gold-tone circular buckle - a small detail that pulls the whole shoe together. Flat sole sits at 0-2cm, keeping you comfortable through long days without compromising on style. Smooth PU upper with a soft finish that wipes clean easily - practical without looking it. Slim ankle strap sits close to the foot, giving a neat, defined silhouette rather than adding bulk around the ankle. The square toe does a lot of the heavy lifting here. It shifts the ballet flat out of purely casual territory and into something that works just as well with a midi skirt and tights as it does with straight-leg jeans rolled at the ankle. The low, flat profile means these go the distance - from a full day at uni or the office to an evening out without needing a change of shoes. Style them with sheer tights and a pleated mini for a nod to the current ballet-inspired look, or keep it pared back with wide-leg trousers and a fitted top. The gold buckle adds just enough detail to make them feel considered rather than basic. A reliable flat that genuinely earns its place at the front of the wardrobe.
