I have this shoe in burgundy, and it\'s a beautiful shoe. The color is perfect for this fall, and leans a little toward a rich mauve. What really surprises me is that everyone else finds french soles to run small, but since i don\'t wear any sock with these, they fit me just right. I wear 10 and have a medium to wide foot, and the 10 is fine. Besides, the leather is so soft that it molds to my foot. I\'m worried that the soft material will wear out on the heel on my right foot when driving.

These shoes are so very comfortable! No breaking in period needed. They are stylish and look good with jeans or with slacks. I liked them so much, I purchased an additional pair in the brown wave. I plan to purchase two of the other colors as well. Great buy!

About French Sole
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.

I wanted to love these shoes, I really did. They have all of the potential to be loved by me, really they do. I like the patent version and also the suede version alike. My problem is that they come up too far on my foot and seem like I'm wearing a slipper instead of a flat, and it just seems odd for some reason. They feel really great on, and the tiny wedge is just the right height so you don't see it, and they look flat, but give a little lift, and shape your legs a bit. I love the idea of these shoes, but sadly, they are too slipper-like for me to hang on to. Maybe I just need some toe cleavage?

I just received my taupe grey Zeppas today as I am planning on wearing them for a trip to NY at Thanksgiving time. I was pleased with the color and overall quality. They are soft like butter. The shininess is subtle and adds just enough textural interest to the shoe. I liked the fact that they came up higher around the foot. More support and a little more warmth although you wouldn't wear these with socks. They don't leave you with the dreaded toe cleavage. The low wedge is nice and gives you a little lift and support. I ordered an 8.5 as I am an 8 in sandals like flipflops but wear an 8.5 in sneakers and boots. They fit just right with no room to spare. I decided to keep them in 8.5 because I felt that if I ordered a half size up, they would end up being too big in the length. These are so soft that they will stretch out a little after the first few wears. I am taking my chances. Overall, I am happy with my purchase; just think they are a little overpriced.

\r\nThese shoes are comfortable and very attractive. The challenge is getting the right size. I started with an 8, then tried an 8 1/2 and finally ended with a 9 that fits perfectly (like an 8 normally).

This is a great looking flat! And comfortable. Love the textured suede. They do run small, as it says, so I ordered 1/2 size up. \r\n\r\nI looked at the Sloop style as well, but thought the added heel structure on this style would be comfier. I wanted to add a little arch support, so I bought the Spenco arch support insoles and wore them in the shoes. I cooked in them all day on Thanksgiving and never got sore or tired.

I liked the way these looked online but not in person. I ordered the black wave and I can't stand the color. It's black suede with little shiny dots all over it, and not youthful. The style isn't youthful either because it comes up too high on the top. These would be cute if they were solid suede or solid patent leather with a lower cut on the top and a more pointed toe. They need some feminine touches. Also, they seemed wide to me and I needed to go 1/2 size up. If my feet were a little wider I think they would have been comfortable.

Zappos has to be one of the best web sites one can deal with, and the French Sole ballet flat my daughter had asked for were beautiful and comfortable, so no need for the free return shipping! This was one of four different items, for three different persons, I ordered through Zappos, and will always search their site first when I want shoes.

I got these in burgundy (and in less than 24 hours!). Very pretty color, not too sparkly, perfect fit. I got the size I normally buy. My feet are a wide 5 1/2 on the foot measurer thingie. I usually wear a 36 or 6. These shoes fit absolutely perfectly. They're wide enough, they're not too short. In fact there's still a touch of room at the end of the toes. Very soft leather. Like the tiny wedge. Will look very cute with full skirts or skinny pants. I like the "slipper" cut, but could see how others might not find it sexy enough. Am already thinking about getting black or taupe.

Love these shoes. I usually wear a 7, but tried them on in a local store and found I needed a 7.5. They are super comfy and have better arch support than most flats. Great walking shoe for San Francisco.

First of all, as usual, Zappos is great! Easy to order, the product arrived promptly. Secondly, these shoes are so cute! I have tried on French Soles in the past and I think my foot is that in between size - 8's a little snug and 8.5 too big, so I went with the little snug, hoping they would stretch, which they have. Look great with skinny pants, shorts, skirts - whatever!

These shoes are wonderful! For a person with bunions, dodging the surgery...these shoes feel just divine! I didn't order up, size 9 was perfect. May go back for another pair! Zappos is just the best!
Brands I'd also recommend: too many to mention! Browse Zappos!!!

Great flat that is extremely comfortable but also provides good support. The small wedged sole is cushiony so you do not feel the surface on which you are walking. Perfect for day or night!

Shoes are more comfortable than I expected. They are easy on and off, but I wish I ordered one size down. I picked these over the other French Sole shoes because they have a bit of a heel, which I really like.

I love the look of this shoe, it's very stylish and practical for city living. Despite their very soft feel, I did have to "break them in", though and I continue to feel slight discomfort in the right shoe if I wear them too long - likely due to a bunion on the big toe. Quality shoe, worth the price, I recommend putting taps on the soles, they will wear out quickly!
