14 pairs of pointy ballet flats in the spirit of the times
Shoes with a flat sole are always in motion. However, the predictable classic ballet flats have long been blunt and terribly tired. Another thing - ballet flats with a sharp nose and other variations on the topic: pointed-toe slippers, shoes. Designers today are experimenting with the usual form of ballet shoes: they cut off the edges, remove the heel, cut out the center, add lacing, which resembles ribbons on pointe. We collected 14 pairs of sharp-toed shoes on a flat course, in which it is most convenient to move in the city.
Giambattista valli
An extremely successful pair of sharp-nosed ballet shoes we see in the French brand Giambattista Valli. And the main thing in it is the material. The shoes are made of mixed tweed, melange, and directly charged to the tweed Chanel jacket in the kit.

Narciso rodriguez
We are already presenting this couple on the legs of Natalie Portman, walking down the red carpet. Therefore, about her briefly. The design of the model is reminiscent of pointe shoes, and the straps of shoes in this case act as ribbons. Such shoes ask for an expensive couture dress, and this proves that the trend for sharpness has appeared at all levels this season - from the mass market segment to luxury.

Zara
This season's democratic Spanish brand has shown all the hit models: sneakers, sandals and slip-ons - whatever you want. Of course, it was not without its sharp-nosed ballet shoes (in the collection - including their variations without a heel). There are both black universal and elegant - shiny. We liked this pair, because in it Zara quotes silver glitter shoes, which will be really popular only next season.

Cheap Monday
On the ASOS spaces, we found a lacquered, laconic pair of Cheap Pointed ballet flats. The shoes are in several colors: white, carrot and black. These ballet flats will look good with skinny jeans of the same brand and a simple white t-shirt.
4 122 RUB.
& Other Stories
Scandinavians again. The H & M project - the Swedish brand & Other Stories is still not sold in Russia, but it cannot be ignored. Our solution to the problem: buy things & Other Stories while traveling or order friends traveling to Europe. The brand’s website sells pointed ballet flats in a contrasting black and white strip with a transparent detail. They look like twisted candies and will look good with something as candy, for example, with things of a dusty pink color.

Jeffrey campbell
Brand Jeffrey Campbell focuses on creating fun and intricate things that are able to please the bored fashion blogger and come in handy at the party. So, this pair of metallized leather is precisely created for carnival happenings and is not accidentally released in the Ibiza lineup. Any girl who has acquired gold shoes will surely face the title of queen of the evening. Hopefully, the company invented these ballet shoes itself, and did not borrow someone else’s idea, as is often the case with them.

Belle by Sigerson Morrison
The online store Shoescribe specializes exclusively in the sale of shoes, and sections of the site will allow you to filter out models even by heel height or by occasion. For example, the choice has subsections "for an image in the style of rock" or "for the office." On Shoescribe, we found the perfect white sharp-nosed ballet flats with a black strap. One of the functions of the site allows you to add a thing to the wish list for your birthday. With this laconic pair we did.

Sophia webster
Sofia Webster is a student of shoe genius Nicholas Kirkwood. Sophia had a long internship with him and learned how to work carefully with shoes, which she now produces in small British manufactures where things are made by hand. Despite the fact that the Englishwoman’s shoes are already for sale in Moscow (for example, in Tsvetnoy and the Podium Concept Store), you can choose a pair to your taste on the designer’s website - there’s more choice. In addition, the online store Sophia Webster delivers to Russia. We really liked these pointed-nosed ballet flats with a butterfly print for everyone.
£380
Acne studios
Let's return to the Swedes. Acne shows the wondrous sharp-nosed ballet flats with a thin striped print. The designers interpret the buckle in their own way and decorate the ballet flats with ironic emoticons. The only thing you can and should complain about is the price. Here Acne demonstrates maximalism and extremism rather than minimalism characteristic of the brand.

3.1 Phillip Lim
The Farfetch website has elegant Phillip Lim ballet flats with a print that resembles black and white wood. The classic model Lim has modified, leaving only the nose and heel, making shoes look like eastern pointed-toed slippers.
€373
Common projects
We found a similar pair resembling slippers in the minimalistic American brand Common Projects. The brand was founded by the editors of V Magazine, Flavio Girola and Peter Pupat, who ten years ago decided to make shoes for themselves, and eventually pleased everyone. The pair is made on one of the Italian factories, made of black leather and is perhaps the most versatile in the selection. Feels the heart, it will be comfortable in it, as in the same slippers.
€414
Burberry
The British help out with the classics. Burberry offers beige pointy ballet flats made from raffia, a natural fiber made from palm leaves. Of the benefits - this shoe will let the air through and is ideal for summer, and its external severity will fit well into the dress code of even a serious company. In addition, this pair will look wonderful with a classic beige trench.
€295
Versace
A minute of luxury with Versace, its - a luxury - today can not be ignored. The Italian brand is back on horseback and shows sharp-eyed snow-white ballet flats made of soft leather with a branded gold-plated buckle in the form of Medusa Rondanini. It is better to wear such a pair in order to emphasize the scale of the situation: with deliberately large earrings or a large number of rings. In this case, it is desirable to maintain a balance in the combination of ballet shoes with monophonic clothes, for example, white. As such, you will probably once be invited to the villa to Philip Plain or to a manicure at Barvikha Luxury Village. Where else?
€690
Jimmy choo
At the American brand Jimmy Choo you will find the most sharp-cut ballet flats for every taste and color: perforated, lacquered, of matte mint-colored leather. Among such a variety of shoes, we chose unusual ballet flats made of three types of leather: metallic, peach and black. From the details - two thin straps. Shoes, as it should be in a luxury brand, comfortable. But what is there, the founder of the company, Jimmy Chu, is so used to comfort that he goes home in the Malaysian airline slippers, and has never let his clients down. However, from the affairs of the company Jimmy long gone. By the way, if you order shoes on the Farfetch website, then the bonus until April 24 is free delivery for orders over € 125, and here the price is clearly above the threshold.
