These women's ballet flats keep the soft rounded shape of a classic pump and add a wide ribbon lace through the front, tied into a bow at the vamp. The lace is woven in cream with a fine brown stripe, giving a bit of contrast against the plain napped upper. Decorative topstitching curves across the toe and down each side, marking out the panels, and a zigzag stitch runs around the topline where the collar meets the foot. The heel counter is soft and unstructured, and the collar sits low without padding.

Underneath, a thin sole in a light tan tone runs flat the whole length with only the faintest lift at the heel, so they stay genuinely flat underfoot. Wear them with cropped straight leg trousers and a fine knit, or with a midi skirt and socks for a softer look. The neutral tone works with cream, white, brown and denim, and the lace detail lifts them above a plain ballet pump without making them any harder to wear.
