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."

The blue is vibrant and fresh, and I know I'll be reaching for this one all season long." But not everyone was happy with their purchase. One shopper said: "The combination of poofy sleeves with a lack of waist definition joined together to make me look at least twice as wide as I actually am.

Nobody's Child 'pretty' summer dress that sold out rapidly is back
Nobody's Child - loved by Holly Willoughby, Fearne Cotton and Louise Thompson - has brought back its beloved Cora dress and it's already selling fast When high-street favourite Nobody's Child dropped the return of the internet-breaking and summery buttermilk yellow dress, our shopping team did a collective shriek of joy. The brand is beloved by celebrities and fashion fans alike and has a tendency of quickly selling out its dreamy dresses. And Cora, its best-selling summer frock, is one of those. Costing £79, the Butter Yellow Linen-blend Cora Midi Dress sold out in just days online when it first launched earlier this year and as it's already labelled 'in demand', we can certainly see this happening again. The popularity of this dress can be attributed to its pastel-yellow hue, which is a major trend this year, as well as an ultra flattering shape that hugs the wearer in all the right places and floats into an A-line skirt. It's an undeniably timeless piece. With a sleeveless design and square neck, the dress is fastened with fabric covered buttons at the front, along with a concealed zip. A scoop waist and enhances the shape, while a lined skirt falls beautifully at just above the ankles. Available in sizes four to 18, the Nobody's Child number isn't just available in yellow. It also comes in black, olive green, ditsy floral, striped white and black linen and pinstripe blue. Plus it not only comes in a midi length, but also a mini version too - we love the Brown Drop Waist Cora Mini Dress, £75. If shoppers aren't keen on the Cora midi, Next has a lovely alternative in its White/Blue Floral Square Neck Puff Hem Midi Dress which, as the name suggests, comes decorated in blue flowers on a white background. While this dress doesn't have a button-up front like the Nobody's Child dress does, the Next dress costs £86 and has a similar silhouette. It also has a bubble hem for added swish. Alternatively, Marks and Spencer's Pure Cotton Textured Midi Waisted Dress, £35, has a square neckline and shirred bodice, flowing into an A-line skirt. Although, the Cora dress from Nobody's Child consistently receives high praise on social media with people commenting on how gorgeous it is. The brand has recently introduced reviews to its site and one glowing four-star shopper raved: "Lovely dress well made & very pretty, looks like the picture, lined so not see through, all good apart." Their only qualm was that it simply didn't suit them as they said: "It did not suit me, my hips are too wide & the fullness on them made them look even bigger unfortunate." It's important to note that another customer remarked how the bust fit was 'tight' - although that being said, the brand recommends sizing down if between sizes to avoid it being too baggy. If in doubt, refer to the size guides. Someone else, who bought the dress on ASOS, loved it and said: "It's a cute dress - lovely colour." With heels and some statement jewels, this yellow ensemble could be the perfect option for a summery wedding, while sandals and a denim jacket will dress it down for a casual day out. Cora isn't the only viral dress the brand has restocked as its Brown Felicity Midi Dress, sported by Louise Thompson last year, is now back for £99, alongside its alternative pattern variations that make us seriously swoon.
