Daily Mirror07-05-2025

Next's Forever Comfort Ballerina Shoes have become one of the store's best-selling shoes
Next customers are raving about the retailer's range of ballet flats, with many confessing to snapping up several pairs due to how "well made" and "comfortable" they are. The £22 Forever Comfort Ballerina Shoes from Next have now become some of the store's top-selling footwear.
Shoppers can browse through a selection of up to 10 different colours and patterns, including options like classic black, nude and black, champagne gold, navy blue, navy corduroy, pink nude, pink raffia, silver, and not one but two leopard print designs. When it comes to fit, there's a choice between standard or extra wide, catering to sizes ranging from three to nine, with half sizes also available for that perfect fit.
Each pair boasts a round toe and bow detail, with finishes varying from glossy to matte or textured. Next highlights that its extra wide option is designed to "provide extra width across the foot."
For those fancying a floral touch, New Look offers White Floral Embroidered Mesh Ballet Flats at £27.99. And if you're after a white and black colour scheme rather than pink and black, there is also the White Contrast Toe Cap Ballerina Pumps for £19.99, reports Devon Live.
The praise for Next's ballet flats is clear from the multiple glowing reviews on the website, where comfort and versatility are recurring compliments. One satisfied customer said: "I ordered standard size. Looked and fit beautiful. Beautiful shoe, looked really classy, so well made. Highly recommend these. True to size and very comfy."
A second said: "The perfect little shoe for a great price! So comfortable and smart looking." A third shared their experience, saying: "They are so comfy. I worm them all day for the first time and never rubbed any where." A fourth commented: "Nice ballerinas, comfy for everyday wear," but mentioned: "The backs at the heel were a bit hard at first but soon broke them in."
Numerous customers have become such fans of the Forever Comfort Ballerina Shoes that they've added several pairs to their collection. One buyer revealed: "This is the third pair of forever comfort ballerinas I have bought over the last three years. I wear them for work practically every day the insoles are so comfortable I find them very hard-wearing too and great value."
Another repeated customer said: "I purchased these style of shoes last year in navy blue and they were perfect so I decided to get them in black for this summer." Echoing the sentiment, a third credited the multiple purchases to their quality: "I have had several pairs of these and would recommend." Another satisfied buyer added: "Fifth purchase of this style which says it all. Good price too."
Someone else expressed their continuous purchasing by saying: "This isn't my first pair of this style. I've purchased more because I find them very comfortable. Love the colour combination." However, not all feedback was glowing. Some shoppers found the shoes lacked comfort, and sizing was an issue for others.
One disgruntled customer said: "Stiff and uncomfortable shoes Gave me blisters." Another customer expressed sizing concerns: "Came up slightly too small. Purchased my usual size, but with I had returned."
This sentiment was mirrored by another shopper who said: "Too small, returned for refund." A different buyer had mixed feelings and wrote: "These pretty ballerina pumps fitted well. However, the colour was nowhere near the pink nude colour advertised, the shade was more a light brown and didn't co-ordinate with my spring wedding outfit at all. Disappointed."
For those in the market for new ballet flats like the Forever Comfort Ballerina Shoes, there's a wide array available beyond Next. H&M features an alternative with its strap-inclusive Mary Jane Ballet Pumps retailing at £22.99 and available in four different shades.
Amazon offers another option worth considering - the Feversole Round Toe Ballet Flat Pumps. These shoes boast bow detailing and a variety of colours similar to Next's offering, along with the convenience of half sizes, priced at £19.99.
Amazon's shoes have an overall customer score of 4.3 stars out of five. One shopper said: "Very comfy, would definitely buy again." Another put: "I'm absolutely thrilled. Rarely had shoes that are now so mega comfortable. No squeezing, no rubbing. Absolutely great and comfortable"

'I've bought every colour' - shoppers rave over Next's 'lovely' £20 linen T-shirt

The top is 'suitable for all occasions' and selling fast in every available colour and pattern Next has launched a 'lovely' and 'comfortable' summer top that shoppers are snapping up in 'every available colour'. The top is versatile enough to be "dressed up or down" for any summer event and is made with linen, which customers say is "lovely in warm weather." The Short-Sleeve Boxy T-shirt with Linen is available in six styles, with prices ranging from £19 to £25, depending on the design. Many shoppers have quickly declared this a "favourite" addition to their seasonal wardrobe. Next's website describes the piece as offering a "relaxed fit" that creates an effortless yet bold "easy summer look". The "comfortable" shirt is crafted from a linen blend, perfect for staying cool in the summer, and is offered in sizes from six to 26. Other options are available for those looking for alternatives. Uniqlo's Linen Crew Neck T-shirt (£29.90) comes in many colour choices, while Matalan provides a more budget-friendly choice with its Pink Stripe Linen Blend Top (£18). However, it's the Next T-shirt that seems to have captured shoppers' hearts, with plenty of different style choices, including the simple black or white variants priced at £19 each. Patterned versions are slightly pricier, such as the Abstract Sunshine Print for £25, reports the Mirror. Eye-catching prints are available, like a zebra-effect top or the red and white palm tree pattern, for £20. Both have earned several five-star reviews. One shopper commented: "So comfortable to wear. Can be dressed up or down." Another added: "Lovely material for warm weather, good fit [and it] doesn't crease like some linen tops." A third shopper shared: "Lovely top. It can be worn for all occasions, had lots of compliments on this top." Someone else put: "Nice easy to wear linen blend top. Love the bright colour and pattern and button up back." However, some shoppers voiced concerns that the top was "too thin". One person shared their opinion online: "Nice item but [it's] far too long. Nice looking but a little too large too." One review described the piece as: "Lovely linen blend top. It buttons down the back and has two side slits. Great red and white pattern which looks fab with some white linen pants." Another added: "I've got them all now! [The tops] are comfortable to wear and they look smart as well." And, a third said: "Love the colours, the buttons feature on the back makes it look more expensive and friends have commented how much they like it. Nice length, not cropped fits true to size."

It looks nice but cut too big for a king size duvet so lots of excess cover."
