Women's Ballerina Flats

They should feel snug from the first wear without pinching across the widest part of the foot. Leather stretches roughly a half size in width as it moulds, but it will not lengthen, so a pair that is too long on day one will still be too long once it has settled. Aim for toes just clear of the front and the topline sitting flat against the instep without gaping. In a pointed pair, the extra room sits in the toe — size to the ball of the foot, not the tip.

Slipping usually means the topline is cut too low or the shoe is a half size long, rather than a width problem. Adhesive heel grips add a couple of millimetres of padding and a grippier surface at the back, which fixes most cases; a thin insole takes up volume and lifts the foot up into the topline. Styles with an elasticated back or a slingback strap solve it structurally. Damp leather also loosens, so let a pair dry fully before wearing them again.
