Women’s pumps, aka the ballet flat, have officially reclaimed their place in the style spotlight. Once the go-to shoe of the 2000s, this classic silhouette has made a bold comeback—and it’s not going anywhere.
We’ve pulled together the best women’s pumps from cult-favourite designers and global footwear heavyweights alike. Whether you're into sleek slingbacks, sharply pointed toes, or delicate lace-up ballerinas, scroll through women’s ballet shoes and there’s a style here for every aesthetic.
The ballet shoe revival has been led in part by GANNI. Known for its fresh, fashion-forward take, cult GANNI ballet flats are constantly reimagined - think glossy patents, leopard print ballet pumps, and unexpected textures that keep fans coming back every season.
Elsewhere in the lineup, you’ll find mesh ballet shoes, metallic leathers and perforated finishes. Lace-up versions offer an edgier feel with their wraparound ties, while eyelet-detailed pointed toe flats from the likes of Vagabond tap into women’s footwear trends.
Today’s pumps are no longer limited to the rounded toe-and-bow formula. Hybrid designs are pushing boundaries - Mary Jane crossovers, ankle strap ballet flats, and styles that pair sweet bows with chunky buckles and chunky rubber soles. Studded ballet shoes, pointed toes and bold materials now define the new-generation flat.
And for those ready to truly break the mould when it comes to women’s flat pumps is Maison Margiela and the cult famous Tabi shoes. Discover this avant-garde split toe shoe icon and more leather women’s pumps at END.
