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."

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.

However, not everyone's experience was seamless, as one buyer explained in their three-star review: "The dress was lovely and would have been great for summer and holidays but I was very disappointed that I had to return it because although I bought my usual size it was gaping a lot under the arms. I did try the next size down because I really wanted the dress but sadly this was too tight across the breast so I ended up paying twice for postage with no dress to show for it." Despite that, another shopper was so happy with their new find, stating: "Loved the fabric. Loved the easy to wear style and the fit was just right. Happy with the quick delivery and the low price."
