The sun is shining, temperatures are rising, and we are ready to dust off those bright summer outfits and free our feet from suffocating boots and trainers after months of winter. Ballet pumps have been the popular footwear trend for some time, but we have found one pair that we intend to wear with every outfit all summer long: Next's Multi Forever Comfort Raffia Ballet Flats.
Next Multi Forever Comfort Raffia Ballet Flats: A Closer Look
These pumps boast the traditional ballet flat silhouette. They feature red piping around the front, a subtle bow detail, and a slightly lifted rubber sole for comfort. What we also love about these pumps is their multi-coloured rainbow weave fabric, which makes them a bold footwear item that will complement any outfit. Plus, this fabric bears a strong resemblance to the materials used by Miu Miu to create their iconic multicolour Crochet tote bag, as well as hats and other accessories.
The Next Multi Forever Comfort Raffia Ballet Flats are crafted from a fabric weave in multicolour, with a red hem for a seamless finish. They also feature a rubber sole and are available in UK shoe sizes 3 to 9, including half sizes. Priced at just £24, they offer an affordable alternative to designer footwear.
Comparison with Miu Miu Woven Mordoré Nappa Leather Ballerinas
Miu Miu's Woven Mordoré Nappa Leather Ballerinas, priced at £970, are crafted from Mordoré leather and designed to be ultra comfortable and stylish. They have an open weave texture and contrast with an elasticated strap featuring the brand's logo on top. They also feature a leather sole and insole. While the Next pumps do not look exactly like the Miu Miu pumps, they share the same woven exterior and shape. The real similarity lies in the fabric: the Next pumps' multi-colour weave looks very similar to the fabric used in Miu Miu's designs, making them a hybrid between the Miu Miu bags and the Crochet Tote Bag.
Versatility and Popularity
We think these pumps will pair perfectly with every summer outfit. Team them with a neutral linen co-ord, jeans and a white tank top, or even a red summer dress to add an extra pop of colour. They are a versatile shoe you can rely on all season. We are not the only fans of this design, as it has garnered an average rating of 4.7 out of five stars from shoppers.
One happy shopper gushed: 'Beautiful shoes and will wear them with outfits and comfortable', while another added: 'Very comfortable and the colours will go with everything.' A separate Next customer said: 'Lovely ballet shoes ideal for summer.' We are adding these to our bag now.
