Next's 'perfect' and 'classy' £22 ballet flats shoppers wear 'everyday'
Next's Forever Comfort Ballerina Shoes come in up to 10 colours and patterns - and they're available in standard and extra wide fits
Next customers are singing the praises of the retailer's ballet flats collection, with many admitting to buying multiple pairs owing to their "well made" and "comfortable" nature. The £22 Forever Comfort Ballerina Shoes from Next have become some of the store's best-selling shoes.
The range presents shoppers with up to 10 different colours and patterns to choose from, including classic options like black, nude and black, along with champagne gold, navy blue, navy corduroy, pink nude, pink raffia, and silver - not to mention two distinct leopard print styles. When it comes to fit, purchasers can select from standard or extra wide, covering sizes three to nine, with the availability of half sizes too for an impeccable fit.
Each pair features a stylish round toe and bow detail, available in glossy, matte, or textured finishes. The retailer emphasises that the extra wide fit is specially tailored to "provide extra width across the foot."
For a floral flourish, New Look sells the White Floral Embroidered Mesh Ballet Flats for £27.99. And those who prefer a white with black trim can opt for the White Contrast Toe Cap Ballerina Pumps offered at £19.99, as reported by Devon Live.
The rave reviews for Next's ballet flats flood the company's website, with customers frequently applauding their comfort and suitability for various occasions. One shopper 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," reports the Mirror.
Another customer expresses their satisfaction with the price-to-quality ratio: " The perfect little shoe for a great price! So comfortable and smart looking."
A third customer recounted their positive experience, saying: "They are so comfy. I worn them all day for the first time and never rubbed anywhere."
Yet another review highlights their initial firmness, " Nice ballerinas, comfy for everyday wear," but notes that they quickly become more accommodating: "The backs at the heel were a bit hard at first but soon broke them in."
The Forever Comfort Ballerina Shoes have garnered an enthusiastic following, with several shoppers admitting to buying multiple pairs. One person said: " 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."
A repeat customer adds: "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."
The trend of consecutive purchases is attributed to the product's quality by another customer: "I have had several pairs of these and would recommend."
And one particularly contented customer states: "Fifth purchase of this style which says it all. Good price too."
One repeat customer shared their satisfaction, remarking: "This isn't my first pair of this style. I've purchased more because I find them very comfortable. Love the colour combination."
Yet, not every review was as complimentary, with some buyers noting a lack of comfort and issues with sizing. Voicing their discontent, one buyer complained: "Stiff and uncomfortable shoes Gave me blisters."
Meanwhile, sizing troubles were reported by another, stating: "Came up slightly too small. Purchased my usual size, but wish I had returned." Echoing these concerns, another added: "Too small, returned for refund."
Contrasting views emerged when a different customer commented on the aesthetics: "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 seeking alternatives to Next's Forever Comfort Ballerina Shoes, there are plenty of options available. H&M offers its own variant with the Mary Jane Ballet Pumps, complete with straps, for £22.99 in four hues.
Another contender from Amazon is the Feversole Round Toe Ballet Flat Pumps, featuring bow details and an assortment of colours akin to Next's version, plus the added advantage of half sizes, all for £19.99. Amazon's shoes have received an overall rating of 4.3 stars out of five from customers. One reviewer commented: "Very comfy, would definitely buy again."
Another reviewer stated: "I'm absolutely thrilled. Rarely had shoes that are now so mega comfortable. No squeezing, no rubbing. Absolutely great and comfortable."

Shoppers in love with 'slimming' Roman dress that's perfect for special occasions
The stunning dress features a waist cinching detail, short sleeves and a floor-sweeping skirt, available in nine prints Shoppers are singing the praises of a stylish maxi dress from Roman for its complementary shape and comfortable fit. The garment boasts short sleeves, an accentuating waist feature, and a floor-sweeping skirt. Priced at £48, this eye-catching item is available in an array of colours and patterns, ranging from green polka dots to blue paisley prints, with additional options in purple, blue, teal, and pink floral. Stocks are plentiful, ensuring sizes 10-20 are on hand for most designs, save for the pink ditsy floral version, which is unavailable in sizes 12-14, and the polka dot green not offered in size 20. This dress's adaptability shines through as it pairs seamlessly with heels and a fascinator for a wedding, or can be dressed down with flats for more casual occasions like vacations walks or family gatherings. Fashion aficionados are spoilt for choice with a multitude of print and colour opportunities. If you you want to look around before committing, New Look has lifted the curtain on its much-anticipated summer dress collection, showcasing a gorgeous strappy maxi frock featuring an evergreen black and white gingham motif. Priced at reasonable £34.99, this number is available in a comprehensive range of sizes from 6 to 22. In the realm of wedding attire, White Stuff has presented a sophisticated linen maxi dress drenched in a deep red, peppered with pink swirls. Initially marked at £90, it is now up for grabs at the discounted price of £79.20, ensuring inclusivity with sizes spanning from 6 to 24 and both regular and petite lengths (petite ranging between 6-18). This captivating design boasts quaint frilly short sleeves and a fetching V-neckline. One satisfied customer lauded their green purchase from Roman, writing: " I love my new dress. It's very comfortable and fits perfectly. I love the pockets and the feel of the material. "It hugs my new figure perfectly and makes me feel like summer has finally arrived". Another shopper expressed delight, gushing: "This dress surprised me. The fit is perfect, the length is great, and I'm tall. It's a very slimming design and my favourite colour," as reported by the Liverpool Echo. On the other hand, a shopper spoke of her frustration with an unspecified problem with the Roman Originals garment, complaining: "Because it was a full skirt, I hadn't noticed it when I tried it on. It took me a while to sort it out, very frustrating. "Had I noticed it at the onset, I would have returned it as faulty. "So, ladies, check your hem. Never been disappointed with Roman before." Another shared their gripe: "I loved this dress but was very disappointed with the length. It was far too long. Possibly offer a petite range for us shorter folk." But one chuffed buyer who opted for the navy version revealed: "I fell in love with this dress. It's beautiful and very flattering. I purchased the 16 and found it true to size. "I had 2 1/2 inches taken off the bottom because it was dragging on the floor (I'm 5 foot 6), but there was no way I was sending it back, so it was worth it."

‘I bought 5 Nobody's Child dresses for an event and one got so many compliments'
With a formal awards ceremony in the calendar, I turned to one of my favourite high street fashion brands to see if I could find the perfect dress without breaking the bank Dressing for formal events such as weddings, graduations and evening 'dos can be tricky – you want to meet the dress code yet still be fairly comfortable, and ideally don't want to spend a fortune on an outfit you're unlikely to wear very often. And so when I was invited to a work awards ceremony and found myself with nothing to wear, I immediately clicked onto the Nobody's Child website – a favourite of mine for pretty and flattering dresses for all occasions. I bought five different styles to try on – including one with pockets and a £69 surprise hit – and the one I ended up wearing was a surprise last-minute addition to my basket; it was worth it though, as it received so many compliments from other guests that evening... Red Nova Midi Dress £85 here This colour was a real curveball for me, as I never wear red, and rarely stray from black, however I was really pleasantly surprised by how much I like this colour on me. The dress was super comfortable and gets bonus points for having pockets. I didn't keep it in the end as I felt like it was more of an everyday dress than an evening one, but it has encouraged me to be a bit braver with colour. If you're looking for an alternative, New Look's Red Puff Sleeve Midi Dress is £29.99. Black Ruffle Tiered Cassidy Midi Dress £89 here This is the one that I thought would be my favourite it reminds me of an old favourite Reformation dress I own, but it actually didn't suit me as much as I though when it was on; again, it was too casual for the occasion, and the waistband sat too high on me – under my bust rather than on my waist. It was very light and breezy for summer though, and again, loved the pockets! New Look does another alternative to this here too, the Black Multiway Tiered Midi Dress, priced at £55.99. Black Balloon Sleeve Zola Mini Dress £99 here Something slightly different from the others, but I really loved this one. I loved the flattering balloon sleeves, and how cute it looked with chunky heels. There were two reasons why I didn't pick it, however: one, I thought the hem was a bit short for a work event, and two, I'd be getting ready by myself in a hotel room, and would have no one to tie up the bow on the back for me. This would be great for Christmas parties, though. Topshop clean trapeze mini dress in black, £55, is a similar shape. Black Tiered Clara Midi Dress £69 here I thought I would hate this one as I dislike anything that clings or skims the body, but this was a surprise hit. It's way more flattering and slimming than I thought, plus you can wear a bra with it (unlike most of these other options), and it folds up very small in a suitcase (like this £39 Next dress). It was a close contender, pipped only to the post by... Black Puff Sleeve Zora Midi Dress £130 here ...the Zora dress, which was the one I wore, and which got me so many compliments. I loved the flattering shape, the statement sleeves and the little flash of skin from the slash neck and low back (you can probably still get away with wearing a bra though). Although more expensive than the others, I felt so comfortable in this, and know I'll get loads of wear out of it.

Fashion fans have found this dress to be a standout wardrobe item for the season. Summer calendar beginning to look busy this year? Whether heading to a wedding or a graduation, it's probably time to get in a fancy new outfit. For the money-conscious among us, there is good news, as fashion retailer Roman is now offering up to 20 percent off and more in a new sale, with prices cut across a variety of styles to suit anyone. One that is certainly sure to be a standout for any wardrobe is the Royal Blue Rose Print Button Detail Maxi Dress. Hailed as "perfect for the warmer seasons", it has been dropped from £48 to £35, saving 27 percent overall. With its "stunning" all-over rose print and modest midaxi length hemline, this particular frock will look perfect at any fancy occasions this season. Since it offers a bold design, we'd advise pairing it with nude-coloured heels and neutral accessories. The flowy, comfortable woven fabric and short sleeves make it an ideal airy choice for when the temperatures rise again. It also features a chic V-neckline, alongside a shirred waistline that will 'cinch' in the figure for a flattering effect. Royal Blue Rose Print Button Detail Maxi Dress £48 £35 Roman Buy here Product Description Complete with buttons down the front, the high street firm also advises pairing its £35 sale dress with a denim jacket on those summer days when the weather is a little bit chillier. As of writing, the dress is still available to buy in sizes 10 to 20, but with the discount, we expect it might prove to be quite popular over time. There is an abundance of summer wedding guest dresses on the market right now, with New Look's Pink Floral Print Ruffled Trimmed Satin Midi Dress offering a similarly bold design for under £40. Meanwhile, another romantic dress worth adding to any wardrobe this summer is the Kew Gardens Cream Tropical Pleated Mesh Print V-Neck Occasion Midi Dress that is available at Next for £69.
