For over 25 years, French Sole Shoes, a tiny store in New York City's swank Upper East Side, has been home to the world's largest collection of ballet flats. From New York's social elite to movie star icons and even royalty, all have flocked to French Sole's unpretentious haven for the best ballet flats found anywhere. Via its iconic store and globally through its FS/NY brand, French Sole sells a wide array of ballet styles in over 300 treatments, ranging from animal prints to its own exclusive materials. Fusing true fashion with cozy comfort, French Sole puts the emphasis on proper fitting.

The design of the shoes is what makes French Sole stand out from the plethora of companies that have sought to emulate their formula for success. Only French Sole combines a true ballerina fit (each shoe molds to the wearer's foot) for the ultimate in comfort with cutting edge fashion and a selection that is unmatched – qualities that clients come to expect and appreciate from French Sole Shoes. But aside from the myriad variety of ballet and other shoes available, it's the people behind French Sole that have really made it a success.

French Sole Shoes is owned by Randy Ochart, who has passionately focused on designing, manufacturing and marketing the hottest ballet flats in the world from Spain, Italy, France and Brazil. When asked about the future of ballerinas as a category, Ochart explained, "In a phase when it seems that everybody feels the need to re-invent the ballerina, we stand alone as specialists. The extraordinary factories we have worked with for so many years understand the distinction between a ballerina and a flat shoe with a string attached." The fit, look, and hand of a ballerina is what French Sole is about, not just a hot trend.

Something has happened to the sizing of FSNY shoes. I have several of this style that fit perfectly. All of a sudden, they are too small by a half to a full size. Not sure if it is the materials or what. Disappointing.

These are much too short. Also they are more square-toed than I expected. And I did not care for the label sewn into the back seam. Sorry; I had hoped to like these.

The cutest little spring/summer shoe! Very comfortable, looks great with everything from dressy to casual. Bought it in pale pink and went back for the beige. The reptile-like texture makes it extra-special. You can't go wrong with this one, but be sure to go up a size (as with all French Sole).

I usually buy flats for around $50 & have never paid this much for a flat shoe but since I had a gift card to offset the price I took a chance. I needed a flat that would look dressy for work (I bought the black), but would withstand daily in/outdoor all-day standing (I'm a teacher aid) & on the playground & on the classroom floor a lot. I trusted the reviews and they were correct - this shoe is comfortable all around the upper foot! They do not tear up my super sensitive feet. I usually hate shoes and wear only flip flops or slip-on types because my heels suffer so much & all shoes give me heel blisters & scars. These shoes didn't need breaking in the leather is so thin & soft/flexible & bendable you would never believe it until you wore them. My only negatives would be the price, the lack of cushion on the inside and the sole is cheapy looking for the price, a flat plasticy type strip. Also, I read a bunch of reviews about the size & ordered 1/2 up...regret it! I wish I would've just ordered my actual size. The leather has stretched out to my foot & after a month, they are loose fitting. I will save my pennies & try to buy another pair, this time in my real size and maybe a daring color too. Overall, I am very happy. I get lots of compliments. They go with everything from jeans to dressy outfits.

The website suggested ordering shoe a half size larger and they were right. I am a true size 8 and I ordered an 8 1/2 and they fit perfectly. This is a beautiful, well made, comfortable shoe. I have received many compliments. It's a little pricey but worth it.

I love these shoes. They are stylish and comfortable. They are so incredibly soft! I can walk in them virtually all day without discomfort of any kind. They look great with simple black slacks or a dress.

I'd also recommend: Simple, Ecco
