Babouche Black Ballerina Pumps - Flynn

Babouche Black Ballerina Pumps — Flynn

The Babouche Flynn is a black leather ballerina pump with a pointed toe, elastic buckle strap with matte gold stud detail, and a cushioned leather insole — handcrafted in the Netherlands from Italian leather. Where a rounded-toe ballerina reads as classic, the pointed toe on the Flynn gives it a sharper, more contemporary feel that works particularly well for office and smarter-casual dressing. The flexible thunit rubber sole and soft leather footbed mean it carries that dressed-up appearance without sacrificing comfort through the day.

Key Features

• Black leather upper crafted from Italian materials, with a clean finish suited to work and occasion wear.
• Pointed toe gives the Flynn a more elongating, contemporary silhouette than a standard rounded ballerina.
• Matte gold stud embellishments on the elastic buckle strap add a considered detail that lifts the shoe without making it overtly decorative.
• Cushioned leather insole and soft footbed for comfort underfoot during extended wear.
• Flexible thunit rubber sole with non-slip finish, suited to office floors and indoor occasions.
• Elastic buckle strap provides a secure fit with a degree of give across the top of the foot.
• Leather-lined interior for breathability and a comfortable feel against the skin.

Fit and Sizing

The Babouche Flynn fits true to size in a standard width. As with most pointed-toe styles, there is less room at the front of the shoe than a rounded or almond toe, so if you have a wider forefoot or larger little toe, it is worth being aware of this before ordering. Half sizes are not available in this style — if you are between sizes, we recommend sizing up.

Best For

• Office and workwear — the pointed toe and matte gold detail make this a more polished choice than most flats for desk-to-meeting dressing
• Everyday dressy flat — a step above a casual pump, suited to days when appearance matters
• Work events and smarter-casual dressing — holds its own at after-work occasions without needing a change of shoes
• Wedding guest — a flat option that reads as intentional and dressed-up
• City breaks and travel where you want one shoe that covers smart and casual without bulk

Styling Guidance

The pointed toe on the Flynn gives it a slightly more directional look than the Eden or Dees, making it a particularly good choice for tailored dressing — it sits well beneath cigarette trousers, straight-leg cut trousers, and cropped wide-leg styles where the toe is visible. In black with matte gold detail, it pairs naturally with charcoal, navy, camel, and deep jewel tones, and gives a more put-together look beneath a trouser suit or tailored midi skirt than a standard flat would. For casual days, it works with straight-leg dark denim and a smart knit — the pointed toe keeps the overall look intentional rather than thrown together.

• Works well with: Tailored trousers, trouser suits, midi skirts, straight-leg denim
• Colour palette: Charcoal, navy, camel, ivory, deep burgundy, forest green

Frequently Asked Questions

Is this true to size? Yes, the Babouche Flynn fits true to size in a standard fit. Half sizes are not available, so if you are between sizes, we recommend sizing up.

What is the sole height? The Flynn has a 1cm flat sole — it is a genuinely flat shoe with a minimal sole lift for a clean underfoot profile.

What material is the upper made from? The upper is leather, sourced from Italy and crafted by Babouche in the Netherlands.

Are they comfortable for all-day wear? Yes — the cushioned leather insole, soft footbed, and flexible thunit rubber sole are designed for extended wear, making them well suited to a full day in the office or at an occasion.

Are they suitable for work and office wear? The Flynn is one of the more office-ready flats in the Babouche range — the pointed toe and matte gold stud detail give it a finished, professional look that works well in most workplace settings.

Does the pointed toe affect comfort? A pointed toe has less volume at the front than a rounded style, so if you have a wider forefoot it is worth factoring in when sizing. If in doubt, size up or get in touch with us before ordering and we can advise.
