Babouche Gold Ballerina Flats - DEES

Babouche Gold Ballerina Flat Pumps — DEES

The Babouche Dees is a leather ballerina flat with a rounded toe, adjustable gold buckle strap, and a cushioned leather insole — handcrafted in the Netherlands from Italian leather. Designed as a genuinely dressy everyday flat, it works equally well for the office, a wedding, a Communion, or any occasion where you need a polished look without a heel. The flexible thunit rubber sole and soft leather footbed make it a flat you can wear from morning through evening without compromise.

Key Features

• Leather upper handcrafted from Italian materials, giving a refined, structured finish that holds its shape well.
• Cushioned leather insole and soft footbed provide comfort underfoot for all-day wear.
• Flexible thunit rubber sole with non-slip finish, suited to both indoor occasions and everyday use.
• Adjustable gold buckle strap across the vamp for a secure, customisable fit and a quietly dressy detail.
• Rounded toe gives a classic, flattering silhouette that works across a wide range of outfits and foot shapes.
• 1.5cm flat sole keeps you grounded and comfortable while still giving the shoe a clean, finished profile.

Fit and Sizing

Best For

• Everyday dressy flat — a step up from a casual pump, polished enough for smart occasions
• Office and workwear — pairs well with tailored trousers, midi skirts, and smarter separates
• Wedding guest — a comfortable flat option that holds up across a full day
• Mother of the bride or groom looking for an elegant flat alternative to a heel
• Communion and Confirmation season — dressy enough for the occasion, practical enough for the day
• Evening and celebration events where a flat is preferred but appearance matters

Styling Guidance

The gold leather finish on the Dees sits in warm-neutral territory, making it one of the more versatile flats in this colour — it reads as a neutral rather than a statement, pairing naturally with cream, camel, navy, blush, and ivory. For daywear, wear with wide-leg tailored trousers and a linen blazer for a polished work look. For occasions, the Dees works well beneath a midi dress or an A-line skirt — the rounded toe and buckle detail give just enough interest without competing with a dressier outfit.

• Works well with: Wide-leg trousers, midi dresses, A-line skirts, tailored shorts
• Colour palette: Cream, camel, ivory, navy, blush, olive, warm white

Frequently Asked Questions

Is this true to size? Yes, the Babouche Dees fits true to size in a standard fit. If you are between sizes, we recommend sizing up as half sizes are not available.

What is the sole height? The Dees has a 1.5cm flat sole — low enough to be genuinely flat but with a little sole height for comfort and a cleaner finish underfoot.

What material is the upper made from? The upper is leather, crafted from Italian materials by Babouche in the Netherlands.

Are they comfortable for all-day wear? Yes — the cushioned leather insole, soft footbed, and flexible thunit rubber sole make these well suited to wearing throughout the day, whether at work or at a longer event like a wedding.

Are they suitable for weddings and formal occasions? The Dees is a well-finished, dressy flat that works for weddings, Communions, Confirmations, and similar occasions — the gold leather and buckle detail read as occasion-appropriate without requiring a heel.

Does the buckle strap adjust for different foot widths? Yes, the buckle strap is adjustable, which allows you to fit the shoe more precisely across the top of the foot — useful if you sit between fits or prefer a more secure feel.
