Beautiful Ballet Flats for Big Feet
Fashion's obsession with ballet flats is set to continue for 2024, according to Vogue. Great news: minimal ballet pumps work wonders to flatter big feet.
With ballet pumps back on the runways, luxury materials and embellishments transform these simple shoes into so much more. If you're shopping for designer ballet flats as an investment piece, timeless neutral flats never go out of style.
Here's a round-up of pretty ballet flats for big feet, with most available up to size 12 us (10 uk) and some cute looks for sizes 13-15 US (11-13 UK) too.
Comfy Ballet Flats
Love the look of ballet flats, but just don't find them comfortable? Ballerina pumps with a heel can be much easier to wear. For the most comfort, look for ballet flats with arch support or comfort insoles. You'll pay more for flats with comfort technology, but cute shoes you can walk all day in are the holy grail.
Arch Support Ballet Flats
An investment buy for sure, but these are no ordinary ballet flats. Aussie brand Bared Footwear have a unique biomechanical footbed which gives support all around the foot. These Surfbird ballerinas come in silver, black, red & trending mesh (black or white). Taxes included for UK, US & Canada.
