Nude shoe: 3 transparent mesh ballet flats for small budgets

Since Alaïa and Bottega Veneta sent us this fishnet ballerina (or “ sweater » for English speakers) in 2023, this new type of shoe nicknamed nude shoes managed to find followers (including Zendaya too). But not everyone necessarily has the means, let alone desire, to pay minimum wage on a pair of shoes, no matter how trendy they may be. That’s why here are some cheap luxury dupes that might just blow your mind (or just have fun looking at them).

Camper net children

The blue women’s Mary Jane shoes made of recycled polyester with recycled insole and TPU sole from the Camper brand have a lot to offer. And their price of €125 is explained by the brand’s experience in the field of shoes.

H&M fishnet ballet flats

These Mary Jane style mesh ballet flats from H&M have a pointed toe with a thin adjustable strap across the top. And their very low price of €25.99 can really tempt you.

Arket’s fishnet dancers

These fine-knit flats have a slightly square toe and a leather lining, plus a rubber outsole. If they look a little too much like a white condom, the red or black version will surely appeal to more people, even if the price of €139 could prove dissuasive.

“Chinese slippers” (or market slippers, who cares)

Finally, if you too become a fan of these highly divisive shoes, know that the trend also concerns what in France we call “market slippers”. Or the “Chinese Slippers” according to TikTok, which has always been at the forefront of the gentrification of popular objects to transform them into new absurd trends of class distinctions.

A model far from being orthopedic, which we cannot recommend enough. But we leave it up to you to judge. However, watch out for tan lines with these shoes which are neither open nor closed.
