Low-rise jeans, peplum tops, over denim – these are all trends we never thought we’d see again, but now we find ourselves re-incorporating them into our wardrobes. And with the addition of “core”-labeled aesthetics (think Barbiecore and cottagecore), it’s no surprise that spring’s latest trend, ballet core, is making a triumphant return to ballet flats.
Celebs like Jennifer Lawrence and Bella Hadid have been seen ditching heels for this more elongated style lately. While their unique shoes aren’t cheap (like the Lawrence Leather $820 from The Row House), we’ve found a comfortable and stylish version with ballet flats that shoppers can easily find for a fraction of the price. They’re up to 53 percent off at Amazon.
Jessica Simpson Mandy’s Ballet Flats Classic ballet flats and elastic straps crisscross the ankles to not only give the illusion of pointe shoes, but also to provide support and prevent your heels from popping out. The black faux leather shoes have a comfortable, memory foam insole, topped with a round toe box that accommodates many foot widths. Prices vary by size, but each size available has 5-10 on sale.

Consumers are also impressed with these apartments. One reviewer noted how comfortable these straps are when walking, sitting, or swinging your feet because “the biggest problem with flats is heel slippage,” but “they don’t have that problem with these super cute shoes.” Another shopper praised the marriage of support and style in these stylish slippers, calling them “truly ballet flats” and “comfortable to wear all day.”
And if you want to add another option to the set of flats, you can have the shoe in a square-toe style. If you want to fully embrace your American Ballet Theater dreams, the boxy toe perfectly captures the prima ballerina’s pointe shoe look.
So whether you want to get in on the ballet flat trend or simply want a more comfortable work shoe, grab these Jessica Simpson ballet flats at Amazon for up to 53 percent off.
