Not Sure What Shoes to Wear This Fall/Winter? Try MM6 Red Ballet Flats + 3 Outfit Ideas ๐Ÿ’๐Ÿ‘ 

Year-round wearable! Size advice, comfort, styling & buy online stores all in one place ๐Ÿ˜Š

Hello everyone, Iโ€™m Hattie๐Ÿ’› Iโ€™ve been looking for a pair of ballet flats that are comfortable and easy to style since summer. Iโ€™ve saved way too many options โ€” there are just so many cute designs that itโ€™s impossible to pick one!

When I first saw these MM6 ballet flats, I honestly couldnโ€™t believe someone managed to design something this adorable ๐Ÿฅน

The toe box looked wide and comfy โ€” and it just looked so cute!

Butโ€ฆ with a price tag over $400, I hesitated for a few months, having several serious talks with my wallet first ๐Ÿ˜‚

๐Ÿฉฐ Color Choices: Cherry Red, black or mesh one?

This series comes in so many shades that itโ€™s almost impossible to decide!

At first, I really wanted the white mesh pair โ€” it looked so breezy and perfect for summer ๐Ÿธ

But as fall and winter rolled around, I found myself craving something darker and moodier.

I hesitated between the red and black versions for a long time.

Since I already own several black shoes but zero red ones, I decided to go bold and choose red ๐Ÿ˜…

However, the red color online looked so different depending on the photo โ€” some looked bright, others had a purple tint. I started to wonder if it would even match my clothes.

Then I saw the Shopbop photos โ€” thank goodness! โค๏ธ The color was exactly what I wanted and the most similar with reality.

In real life, itโ€™s a perfect mix of burgundy ร— deep red ร— cherry red โ€” vintage and elegant without feeling old-fashioned. Definitely not a weird red!

๐Ÿ‘‰ If youโ€™re wondering what kind of red this actually is: itโ€™s a classy, wearable deep red that matches everything. Safe to buy โ€” no regrets!

๐Ÿ‘Ÿ MM6 Shoe Sizing: Go One Size Up!

European shoes usually run narrow, so I always size up by one.

For this pair, I picked a 38, and when worn barefoot itโ€™s slightly loose, but once I add thick socks or an insole, it fits perfectly.

The MM6 design features an elastic drawstring band.

At first, it feels like somethingโ€™s holding your foot in place, but thatโ€™s actually great โ€” it keeps the shoe snug and stable while walking.

And honestlyโ€ฆ itโ€™s so cute ๐Ÿฅน๐Ÿ’•

โ˜๏ธ Comfort Level: Free Toes, Slightly Firm Heel (Insole Recommended!)

To be honest, walking barefoot in the first few steps made me feel like the heel lacked some cushioning.

But I usually wear insoles anyway, so it didnโ€™t bother me much.

The front part is nice and wide, giving my toes plenty of space to move โ€” my toes feel totally free ๐Ÿ˜‚

Iโ€™ve worn them all day outside, and my feet felt fine!

The only thing Iโ€™m careful about is the little โ€œ6โ€ logo on the soleโ€ฆ itโ€™s just too cute โ€” I donโ€™t want to rub it off ๐Ÿ˜ญ

๐Ÿ›’ Where I Bought Mine

I got mine from Cettire, and luckily there was a 10% sale โœจ

Iโ€™ve ordered from them several times before โ€” always a good experience!

my final price was about $480 USD โ€” pretty reasonable for designer flats!

However ๐Ÿ’ก, keep this in mind:

Sometimes Cettire doesnโ€™t include the original dust bag or box.

I once received a bag in a regular cardboard box, but my other orders came with full packaging.

If you really care about the unboxing experience or want the full set, consider buying from:

๐Ÿ‘‰ Farfetch

๐Ÿ‘‰ Shopbop

Both include prepaid taxes and usually come with complete packaging.
