Awesome. I had the search on for the perfect ballet flat for over a year! No exaggeration. Found 'em! Super comfortable, unique, durable...love 'em!

Love these shoes! The moment I opened the box I could see the quality leather and construction. Love the little touches like the colored sole with its contrasting stitching. They are ballet flats, so don't go looking for super support, but they accommodate my custom orthotics without giving a hint from the outside. The 7.5 (my usual size) fit perfectly in this color; I did subsequently try to also get them in black but had less luck with the sizing on those...7.5 too large, 7 just too snug. Still, the fawn (a medium taupe color) pair which fit fine are a wonderful neutral and I am very happy with them.

Oh so perfect! I usually wear a 8.5 in Fryes, a 9 normally. But with these, I should have stuck with my regular 9. They are so comfortable and don't cut across the left side of the ball of my foot like so many ballet flats. Plus, they are leather and are just going to mold to my feet. Can't wait to get the right size!

A fantastic shoe. It has real substance to it, while still maintaining the look of a trim ballet flat. Absolutely worth the extra money. Even the color (I have the taupe) is richer and more nuanced than the norm.

Incredibly cute! I love Frye boots but was a little wary of trying a ballet flat. I didn't want anything too 'western-looking' or clunky. These are sturdy, well-made, but still have a delicate quality to them. The low-cut vamp and sides and rounded toe give them the perfect ballet flat look. And I love the tan color! These fit exactly true to size, comfortable, but no arch support. I've added lightweight inserts and they feel great.

These ran really small. I had to order 2 sizes up from the normal size! Yes, 2 sizes! They are really cute though.

The shoes are very cute and are a great price. Unfortunately, they run small. I am returning them for a larger size.

Beware as the sizing is very wrong on this shoe. It appears to be European sizing but not an option when selecting size. This was at least three to four sizes too short.

Very stylish shoe, but returned the first time because it's at least 1-2 sizes smaller than marked.

Who sized these sandals? I agree with other reviewers. They are at least two sizes smaller than indicated.
