Few trends have made a comeback quite as spectacularly as ballet pumps. A shoe that was previously widely embraced in the early 2000s has, in recent years, enjoyed what is perhaps its most powerful resurgence yet. Having emerged on the catwalks several seasons ago, the ballet pump subsequently trickled down into the mainstream via highs street brands and independent labels, all of which have since released an abundance of iterations.

Comfort remains central to the ballet flat’s appeal. Whether paired with relaxed tailoring, slouchy denim, slinky slip skirts or capri pants (a style enjoying a renaissance of its own), they bring simplicity to everyday dressing that’s hard to say no to when getting ready in the morning.

From classic leather pairs to delicate satin styles to mesh designs, Mary Janes and embellished versions, the ballet pump continues to prove its unmatched adaptability. Scroll on to discover the best style to shop now.
