Babouche Wine Slingback Flats - Sheri

Babouche Wine Slingback Flats — Sheri

A leather slingback flat with a pointed toe and a 1.5cm sole, designed for women who want a workwear flat with enough character to carry across autumn and winter dressing without reaching for black. The adjustable gold buckle slingback strap and cushioned leather insole provide a secure, comfortable fit that holds up across a full day. Wine is one of those colours that works harder in a wardrobe than it first appears — it sits naturally alongside the neutrals most Irish wardrobes are built around while adding depth that a plain black flat does not.

Key Features

• Sole: A 1.5cm flat sole provides a comfortable, stable base that works well for extended wear across a range of surfaces.
• Upper: Smooth Italian leather upper in a deep wine tone — rich in colour and well-suited to autumn and winter dressing across both office and casual settings.
• Comfort: A cushioned leather insole and soft footbed support the foot throughout long days, including full office days or occasion wear.
• Sole Construction: A flexible thunit rubber sole provides reliable grip underfoot and moves naturally with the foot.
• Fit: True to size with a standard width and an adjustable slingback strap that allows for a personalised fit across different heel widths.
• Fastening: A gold buckle strap at the slingback keeps the shoe securely in place while remaining easy to adjust.
• Design: Matte gold stud embellishments on the strap and a pointed toe give the Sheri a more dressed-up finish than a standard flat, with the wine leather adding warmth to the overall look.

Fit and Sizing

The Sheri fits true to size with a standard width that suits most feet. The adjustable slingback strap is a practical feature for women whose heel is slightly narrower or wider than average, allowing a more dialled-in fit than a slip-on flat. No half sizes are available, so if you are between sizes, sizing up is the better option.

Best For

• Autumn and winter workwear where a coloured flat adds interest to neutral office dressing
• Smart-casual dressing for lunch, meetings, or low-key social occasions
• Women who wear a lot of black, grey, or camel and want a flat that introduces colour without effort
• Christmas party season and festive occasion dressing where a heel is not practical
• Communion and Confirmation season in spring where a wine flat complements darker occasion outfits
• Women looking for a considered alternative to black that still works across multiple outfits

Styling Guidance

Wine is a colour that pairs more broadly than most people expect — it sits well alongside black, charcoal, camel, and cream, and adds warmth to an otherwise neutral outfit without competing for attention. The Sheri works particularly well with straight-leg black trousers or a black midi skirt where the wine flat becomes the single point of colour in the outfit. It also pairs naturally with camel or tan knitwear and tailored coats for an autumn look that feels complete without being overthought. For work, try it with a charcoal trouser suit or a navy wrap dress for a pairing that is both practical and well-considered.

• Works well with: Straight-leg black trousers, midi skirts, tailored coats, knitwear, wrap dresses
• Colour palette: Black, charcoal, camel, cream, navy, rust, forest green
