“I expected to change into my trainers halfway through the day. I never did. They were still comfortable when I got home.”

The flat you'll still want to be wearing at the end of the day

There is a reason some beautiful shoes spend most of their life in the wardrobe.

They look lovely when you first put them on. Then you walk to the shops, stand around for a while or go out for lunch — and suddenly you're thinking about your feet with every step.

The Opium Flats were designed for something simpler: the polished look of a smarter shoe, with the easy feel of the pair you naturally reach for when you know you'll be on your feet.

Comfort where it actually matters

A comfortable shoe isn't just about adding something soft underneath your foot. The shape of the shoe matters just as much.

The Opium combines a cushioned feel underfoot with a shape designed to feel less restrictive around the front of the foot.

• Cushioned underfoot — for a softer feel while walking and standing.
• Roomier square toe — giving your toes more natural space than a narrow pointed flat.
• Low, stable heel — a little lift without the balancing act of a traditional heel.
• Flexible everyday shape — made for real days, not just sitting beautifully in the wardrobe.

A comfortable shoe that doesn't look like one

That may be our favourite part.

The sculpted detail across the front immediately makes the Opium feel more considered than a basic ballet flat, while the gently shaped heel gives it enough structure to work with smarter outfits.

Wear them with straight-leg jeans for an ordinary day out, tailored trousers for lunch, or underneath a dress when you want something neater than trainers without committing to heels.

Made for the days when sitting still isn't an option

A morning appointment. A few shops afterwards. Coffee that turns into lunch. Picking up the grandchildren on the way home.

Those are the days a shoe really has to prove itself. The Opium was created to bridge the gap between the shoes you'd choose because they look nice and the shoes you'd choose because you know you'll be comfortable.

Black or brown — you'll probably find yourself wearing both

Black is the easy choice when you want something polished that works with virtually everything in the wardrobe.

Brown has a slightly softer, warmer feel and looks particularly lovely with cream, camel, denim, navy and autumn colours.

Which size should you choose?

The Opium is designed with an easy everyday fit. Choose your usual size for the intended fit.

If you normally sit between two sizes, choose the larger size for a little extra room.
