Calvin Klein

Women's Brown Ballet Trainer Laceup Fudge/Gum

Ballet-inspired silhouette with a notably low-profile toe box and sleek, streamlined upper - closer to a flat court shoe than a traditional trainer. Tonal lace-up fastening sits flush against the upper, keeping the overall look clean and uninterrupted from toe to heel. Contrast gum sole adds a subtle vintage-inflected detail underfoot, with a lightly textured outsole visible from the side profile. Smooth suede-effect upper is cut without heavy overlays or branding panels - a small embossed Calvin Klein logo at the midfoot is the only interruption. Slim heel collar with a subtle tab finish gives the back of the shoe a refined, minimal shape that sits neatly at the ankle. The silhouette here borrows directly from ballet flat proportions - the toe sits low to the ground, the profile is barely-there, and the whole shoe hugs the foot without bulk. That flatness makes it an easy reach for outfits that would swallow a chunkier sole: tailored wide-leg trousers, midi skirts, or straight-cut jeans all sit well above it without competing. The gum sole is the one moment of contrast, and it does a lot of work - it stops the shoe reading too precious and keeps it firmly in casual territory. Wear with cropped tailored trousers and a fitted knit for a considered daytime look, or pair with a slip dress and a relaxed blazer when the occasion calls for something slightly more put-together. A trainer that reads almost as a flat, this is the kind of shoe that earns its place in a wardrobe by refusing to announce itself. | Calvin Klein Women's Ballet Trainer Laceup Fudge/Gum in Brown | Size: 3 Colour: brown
