Pump Shoes with Insolia Flex®

I liked the idea of these as ordinary pumps slip off my feet and thought with the elastic they would be ideal, but the elastic was just too tight. Also the front of the shoe came too far up the foot and made them look really odd, rather like men's carpet slippers. Returned.

I wouldn't have bought these at full price but I'm glad I risked ordering the khaki ones online at the sale price. Very comfortable and in nice, soft leather. Not too sure about the ties, but I'll live with them, at the price.

I bought these shoes as they can easily be stashed in my bag for commuting. But oh the tight elastic! I have slim feet but they murdered them. So I took to them with scissors making tiny incisions inside to cut the elastic and now they are wonderfully comfortable shoes!

I ordered these in my usual M&S size which is 41/2 in apricot and they fit perfectly. I was initially put off buying these because of the ribbons but these can be removed and binned no problem. I've now ordered the green ones as I like the style so much. The leather is beautifully soft and good quality. Very pleased with my purchase.

These ballet pumps both looked and felt awful. They are elasticated all the way round the shoe part, which makes them really uncomfortable on bare feet. The ribbons look really cheap and nasty and feel really stiff and uncomfortable around your ankle. The leather looks more like plastic - really shiny and not good quality. Because there are no tapes crossing over the top of your foot, this leads to a really frumpy slipper-ish look. All-in-all, an awful poor quality look. Returned immediately.

These shoes were perfect lengthways but rather wide and so the leather puckered around the upper. I am a size 6 standard width fitting but the shoes made my feet look two sizes bigger. This could be because the upper comes quite high up over the top of the foot so there is a bit more leather on show. I think if you are size 5 or smaller then you could be ok. The quality is fine and the shoes are light and perfect for summer. If not for the lose fitting and optical illusion then I'd have kept them.

These made my feet feel huge and I am a size 6. They reminded me too much of my daughters soft leather ballet shoes that she wore to dancing. They are made from soft leather in a beautiful ballet pink colour so very authentic. I just wonder how they would wear and think that they would show the shape of your toes quite quickly. I didn't feel that they were good value for money so returned them.

Had to return these ballet pumps as they were too tight. I really wanted a 41/2 size but these do not come in half sizes. The half size does make a big difference..

LOVE these. Best thing I've ever purchased at Marks. They run a tad big, I'd say if you're between sizes, size down. The colour IS NOT pink - more nude peach. The high cut along the top of the foot gives them a modern feel. They are so comfortable and look very expensive.

Very unusual shoes and really pleased I bought them.
