I’ve found the chicest Mary Jane flats for autumn at M&S - they’re the most comfortable shoes I own and only £40

I never did get on board the mesh ballet flat bandwagon. Don't get me wrong, I think they look very stylish, but I've tried a couple of pairs that didn't exactly fill me with confidence in terms of comfort or support.

But after wearing comfortable sandals all summer long (like many flip-flop fans, I take a lot of convincing to wear anything other than my Archies nowadays), I've now found quite simply the perfect pair of flats to wear from now until boot season kicks in. They're spot on for late summer but will work long into autumn since they go with everything from dresses to jeans, plus they're ridiculously comfortable. And all that for just £40!
