Babouche Off-White Ballerina Sliders - Grace

Babouche Off White Ballerina Sliders — Grace

A leather ballerina slider with a pointed toe and a 1.5cm flat sole, designed for women who want a light, dressy everyday flat that carries through from spring into summer without looking casual. The elastic buckle strap and cushioned leather insole provide a secure, comfortable fit throughout the day. Finished with matte gold stud embellishments on the strap, the Grace in off white offers a softer, warmer alternative to a stark white shoe — one that sits more naturally alongside the tones most Irish wardrobes are built around.

Key Features

• Sole: A 1.5cm flat sole gives light lift while remaining genuinely easy for all-day wear across a variety of surfaces.
• Upper: Smooth leather upper in an off white finish — warmer than bright white, easier to wear, and well-suited to spring and summer dressing.
• Comfort: A cushioned leather insole and soft footbed support the foot throughout long days, making these a practical choice for occasions where you'll be on your feet.
• Sole Construction: A flexible thunit rubber sole provides grip underfoot and adapts naturally to movement.
• Fit: True to size with a standard width that suits most foot shapes.
• Fastening: An elastic buckle strap holds the foot securely while allowing easy on and off — practical without sacrificing the finish.
• Design: Matte gold stud embellishments on the strap lift the off white leather and give the shoe a more considered finish than a plain flat.

Fit and Sizing

The Grace fits true to size with a standard width that will suit most feet. The leather upper and lining will soften slightly with wear, improving comfort over time. No half sizes are available in this style, so if you are between sizes, it is best to size up.

Best For

• Spring and summer everyday dressing where a light, neutral flat is needed
• Wedding guest outfits where you want a flat that reads dressed-up rather than casual
• Communion and Confirmation season as a comfortable option for a full day on your feet
• Smart-casual warm weather dressing — linen, cotton, and lighter fabrics
• Women looking for a versatile warm-neutral flat that works across multiple outfits
• Travel in warmer months where one flat needs to carry across day and evening

Styling Guidance

Off white is one of the most wearable neutrals in a spring and summer wardrobe — it sits comfortably alongside cream, stone, camel, and navy without competing. The Grace pairs well with wide-leg linen trousers or a tailored cream suit for a clean, warm-weather work look, and works equally well under a floral midi dress where you want the shoe to recede rather than contrast. The matte gold stud detail adds warmth that keeps the off white from reading too stark. For Communion or wedding guest occasions, this flat pairs well with occasion dresses in blush, sage, or soft taupe.

• Works well with: Wide-leg linen trousers, midi dresses, tailored suits, occasion dresses, shirt dresses
• Colour palette: Cream, stone, camel, navy, blush, sage, soft taupe

Frequently Asked Questions

Q: Is this true to size? A: Yes, the Grace fits true to size with a standard width. As no half sizes are available, we recommend sizing up if you are between sizes.

Q: What is the sole height? A: The sole height is 1.5cm, providing a flat but slightly supportive base that is comfortable for all-day wear.

Q: What material is the upper made from? A: The upper is smooth leather, sourced from Italy, with a leather lining inside.

Q: Are they comfortable for all-day wear? A: Yes — the cushioned leather insole, soft footbed, and flexible thunit sole make them well-suited to longer days, including occasions such as Communions, weddings, or full days in the office.

Q: Are they suitable for a wedding or occasion outfit? A: Yes — the pointed toe, gold stud detail, and off white leather give the Grace a dressy quality that works well for weddings, Communions, and Confirmations, particularly where a flat is preferred over a heel.

Q: Is off white difficult to keep clean? A: Like any light-coloured leather, the Grace in off-white will benefit from a light protective spray before first wear. Leather cleaning products will help maintain the finish over time, and the leather upper is generally easier to wipe clean than suede or fabric alternatives.
