Arket’s Expensive-Looking Suede Ballet Flats Earn Me So Many Compliments

Honestly, it really takes a special event to pull me out of my beloved flats. Every day you can find me in one of three silhouettes. A trusty trainer, a classic Mary Jane, or my ultimate favorite. The equal parts of comfort and elegant balance the foam and function, combining them with everything from worn-out jeans to floating skirts. Simply put, I haven’t found the right shoes for me yet.

Naturally, not all ballet flats were created equal, and over time a quiet hierarchy formed within my wardrobe. For years, the most worn out was my minimalist black pair. That was until I slipped onto something beautifully made Arke’s suede styleand suddenly the rest of my collection disappeared into the background.

Made from supple suede cut with high-flavored vamps and gently planted molds on the legs, Arke’s suede ballet flats have become the cornerstone of my best outfits these days. At a price of £149, they sit a little higher than some of the high street alternatives, but in my opinion they are worth every penny. The rich texture of suede adds depth and Polish, giving it the simplest look. The soft, round toes ensure a sophisticated finish, while the shape of the high cover provides comfort and support for wear all day long.

Suede Ballet Flats in particular have had a major moment this season. The patent and leather repetition is classic, but suede offers a softer and higher trend. Perfect for light spring fabric and brigier silhouettes. The matte finish and luxurious texture make the suede feel particularly luxurious, making it a treat to wear every day.

So far, I have been reaching for me repeatedly, mainly in jeans and trenches, but I rarely go for a day without receiving compliments.

If you want to dip your toes into a flat revival of ballet or refresh your beloved collection, this arket pair is a truly valuable contender. It’s already sold out once, so you wouldn’t be surprised if it disappeared again soon.
