Real Customer Reviews: The Best Ballet Flats Ever

You see, we don't just want our ballerinas to look pretty. We also want them to feel incredible on your feet. And in turn, make you feel unstoppable.

In today's fast-paced social media frenzied world, comparison culture and imposter syndrome are very real, but then I read your reviews and see how our ballet flats are adored and loved worldwide - and for good reason too - and I'm reminded daily of why we do what we do.

And so, on that note, let’s dive into why our ballet flats continue to stand the test of time and why they deserve a place in your wardrobe. 

Why Cocorose Ballet Flats Are a Game-Changer 

 1. Designed for Real Life

Comfort Meets Style 

One of the biggest struggles when it comes to footwear is finding shoes that are truly both stylish and comfortable. At Cocorose, we’ve mastered the art of combining luxurious design with all-day wearability. 

Unlike conventional ballet flats, which can often feel rigid, unsupportive or lack durability, Cocorose flats are crafted with soft, premium leathers, properly cushioned insoles and flexible soles that move with you, providing support and ease every step of the way, regardless of whether you’re running errands, heading to work or travelling the world. 

Real Customer Experience

"I walked 10 miles in these pumps. No pain, not a blister to be seen! My advice? BUY YOURSELF A PAIR OR TWO." - Julia 

That’s the kind of comfort that makes Cocorose ballet flats stand out from the crowd. 

2. Handcrafted with Love and Expertise 

Fast fashion has made mass production the norm, but at Cocorose, we've always taken a different approach. 

Each pair of our ballet flats is meticulously handcrafted by artisans who have honed their craft for decades. From the sourcing and then cutting of the leather to the stitching of the upper and the lasting of the shoe to finally, the inspection, cleaning and packing, every detail is carefully considered.

This dedication to craftsmanship ensures that when you invest in a pair of Cocorose flats, you’re getting quality and value in return - and ensuring the protection of the art of handmaking shoes - which is a skill passed down through generations that is so quickly being lost to machine-made shoes. 

Cocorose ballet flats are all of the above plus more. They're designed to be foldable and compact, making them the ultimate travel essential. They're cleverly presented with a signature travel pouch, making them effortlessly portable for on-the-go lifestyles. So whether you’re heading on a weekend getaway or a month-long adventure, these flats will conveniently fold into their pouch which can then slip easily into your handbag, backpack or suitcase. 

Why They’re Ideal for Travel: 

Foldable & Portable – Easy to pack without taking up space. 

Versatile – Perfect for dressing up or down. 

All-Day Comfort – Walk miles without discomfort. 

5. Responsible Footwear 

At Cocorose, we believe in slow fashion—creating quality products that last rather than contributing to the fast fashion culture. We care about sustainability and the future of our planet and next generation. Over the years, we've become much more aware about the impact that our actions have on our planet and we've learned a few things about sustainability within our business too. 

Although we feel we've put in place some incredible initiatives to help us on our path towards a greener future, there's still so much that we need to do. It really is a learning journey.  

One of the biggest factors in our commitment to reducing our environmental footprint is our social conscience; the choices that we make, as individuals and as a business.  

Our journey towards consciously moving towards a greener future is ongoing, and we're constantly seeking new ways to improve.  

How We Make a Difference: 

Small-Batch Production – Ensuring less waste and higher quality control. 

Recycle Scheme - We offer a shoe recycling scheme, encouraging customers to return their pre-loved Cocorose shoes in exchange for Rosebuds (loyalty points), ensuring the shoes turn into anything but landfill. 

We Plant Trees - One of the best tools to tackle the climate crisis and keep our temperatures from rising above 1.5C is to plant trees. They are also crucial in preventing ecological collapse. For this reason, we have partnered with Ecologi, and plant trees for every order received.

How to Style Cocorose Ballet Flats for Every Occasion 

Styling for Work

Pair your Cocorose ballet flats with tailored trousers and a crisp blouse or pretty top for an elegant office look. The sleek design ensures you stay professional without sacrificing comfort.

Styling for the Weekend

Opt for a relaxed dress or jeans with a cosy jumper for a casual yet polished weekend outfit. Add a tote bag, and you’re good to go!

Travel Ready Style

Stay comfortable on long journeys without compromising on style. Combine your flats with leggings, a comfy tee and hoodie and throw over a stylish trench coat for the perfect travel ensemble. And don't forget to pack a pair (or three!) of your foldable shoes – they’re so compact, after all!

Evening Glam

Ballet flats aren’t just for daytime! Choose a metallic or embellished pair to complement your evening outfit for a chic yet practical alternative to heels. If heels must be the choice of footwear, then just pop your folding shoes into your handbag or coat pockets for a quick and stylish swap once you tire of your heels. Top tip: throw your discarded heels into the satin bag located in the back pocket of the Cocorose travel pouch. Clever, right?!
