'I own several pairs' - why shoppers love Next's £22 ballet flats in 10 colours
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"

Amanda Holden shares daughter's common outfit criticism
Amanda Holden says there is one thing that her daughter Lexi can say about her outfit that will make her go and change immediately Amanda Holden has disclosed that a sharp five-word critique from her daughter about her style is all it takes to make her reconsider her wardrobe choice. Known for her bold outfit choices on Britain's Got Talent, Amanda's most controversial outfit reportedly drew over 600 viewer complaints to regulatory body Ofcom, reports Devon Live. The 54-year-old says there is a team of people who examine what she wears before she steps on stage. Amanda, however, insists the TV talent show is the "perfect opportunity to take risks". Despite this, she says there are moments of indecision, confessing that after her stylist presents "rails and rails" of potential outfits, she frequently chooses one, only to switch moments later. Amanda, who shares her home with her husband Chris Hughes and daughters Lexi, 19, and Hollie, 12, acknowledges that their opinions matter to her. Revealing to the Sun's TV magazine, she said: "My daughters normally love my outfits, but Lexi is quite critical, like her daddy." She shares a common exchange with them: "I'm like, 'Do you like this?' And she'll say: 'No!' But it doesn't change my mind if somebody doesn't like my outfit - if I think it's great, I'll wear it." Amanda admits there's one type of feedback from her eldest that will prompt an immediate costume change: "Though if Lexi says: 'It makes you look old' then I listen to that." Amanda and her co-judge, Alesha Dixon, faced a furore over their choice of attire at the Britain's Got Talent final last week, with Ofcom receiving 72 gripes for outfits deemed "too revealing for a family show". Back in July 2017, Amanda turned heads and sparked debate when she donned a daring Julien Macdonald number, which later became the year's most controversial TV topic. The mother of two wryly dubbed it a 'national crisis' at the time. Chatting with Closer magazine, Amanda quipped: "I'm always asked about the Ofcom complaints, but every outfit on the show is checked before I leave my dressing room, so I'm never worried. I think people should have fun with fashion!" Not stopping there, she explained: "I had bits of fish wire underneath my breasts trying to hold that together... It's all quite laughable, but all everyone seems to talk about. It's been called another national crisis – but oh no, I will not be covered up." Amanda is unapologetic about her desire to "always look good", asserting: "There's no way I'd step out in my pyjamas or rock up without a lash. To preserve my own sense of dignity, I always try to look good." Last week saw the curtains close on Britain's Got Talent, with Harry Moulding clinching the title amid stiff competition. Despite an electrifying performance from The Blackout, it was Harry who charmed his way into the nation's hearts and secured the most votes.
