I cannot tell you how much I love these. They're very comfortable. I was worried about the hard sole, but there was nothing to worry about. The shoe bends and gives. I have a few pairs of high end flats with elastic at the heel and can't wear them for long. These don't have that. Love 'em!

These are fantastic flats. Amazing quality and they fit perfectly. The sole is solid leather so they are a bit slippery at first. Simply scuff them on some pavement to prevent slipping.

Really nice shoe - excellent materials and high quality workmanship. The silver finish is beautiful. My only complaint (if you can call it that) is these shoes run slightly large, and I am a bit worried the leather may stretch. However, this isn't enough for me to rate the shoes less than a 5.

I've been looking for a shoe like this for a long time and it was worth the price. The Cognac Leather isn't too orange in real life like some other shoes I've gotten. The leather is soft and doesn't rub. It fits snug so that the back doesn't fly off my foot when I walk. The shape looks cute with just about anything. I would buy these in more colors.

About Frye
Frye's current Harness Boots are rooted in tradition and continue to draw influence from the Cavalry. Today the classic Harness Boot holds a place in American culture. The Frye Harness Boot has been pictured in fashion spreads internationally. In 1938, on a trip to Washington, D.C., John A. Frye's grandson and namesake met a U.S. Navy Admiral who confided that he had trouble finding the Wellington boots he liked so much. As a favor, John agreed to make him a pair. Frye continued to fill requests for these boots through the Second World War. During World War II, Frye supplied thousands of servicemen with Frye Wellington boots, known as Jet Boots, by mail order.
In the 1960's, Frye reintroduced the Campus Boot, from its 1860 original, featuring a bulky toe and chunky heel that came to epitomize the attitude and the style of the 60's and 70's. There was nothing like these "new" Frye Boots on the market, and consumers began to demand "Original Fryes." When searching for items to represent the America of the 60's, the Smithsonian Institute chose a pair of Frye Boots.
The quality of all Frye shoes is timeless. For almost 150 years, Frye leather products have continued to be benchcrafted from the finest full grain leather uppers. It takes over 190 steps to make one pair of Frye boots. Frye remains dedicated to the commitment of craftsmanship for which Frye boots and Frye shoes have been known for more than 100 years.

These shoes were so comfortable from the get-go and the yellow color is great. I get compliments on them each time I wear them! They stain easily, so I have to figure out the best way to clean/protect them, but I'd love to get them in another color. They are a tad too big, but going down a size would surely be too small. I normally wear a 9 in Frye, but I ordered the 9.5 for these and they worked out.

True to size. Comfortable. Does not take long to break in. Goes well with jeans and casual sun dresses. I wear mine without socks and the shoes do not rub anywhere. I usually wear an 8.5 to a 9 but the 8.5 fits well.

I've only worn them around the house but they're very comfortable, almost like walking barefoot. The soles are a tad smooth but maybe walking on pavement will take care of that. The colour matched the picture. I have wide feet and they fit perfectly so they might be loose for people with narrow/average feet. If they had the maroon or indigo available in my size I'd buy another pair.

I ordered 1/2 size smaller than I usually wear to make sure these would fit, even after some stretching. The smaller size is feels great.

These flats are gorgeous! I love Frye boots, and I am usually either an 8 or an 8.5. I ordered an 8.5 and it was a tiny bit snug at first, but fits great now. Super flattering cut to the shoe. The leather is soft as butter and the sole has a bit of cushion.
Brands I'd also recommend: born has some nice flats this season too, which are nice and cushion-y.

Beautiful pair of shoes. If you don't already own the Frye leather conditioning cream, buy it! It makes a huge difference in how long they stay looking as beautiful as the day the arrived.

Definitely order a half-size larger. These were too short, & I never had a problem with other Frye shoes. Otherwise, beautifully made shoe. Wish I could get it in a more practical color (black or brown), but they seem to be nearly sold out in all colors! Word to shoe makers: women will always buy a well-made, stylish comfortable flat!

I love these shoes! They felt good the minute I put them on. They are very well made. The leather is soft and substantial. The style is simple and the color (taupe) is subtle. It looks nice with my summer linens. I plan to order more Frye shoes. The leather is so soft I am even thinking about trying their boots. Of course, it goes without saying that Zappos is totally fabulous!

The other reviews said that the shoe ran a little large. I found that the shoe was comfortable.

These shoes are well made (as are all Frye products) and very comfortable. Everyone complimented me on the yellow color of the shoe! The only thing I don't understand is why most other reviewers say that Frye runs big. I felt this ran true to size but maybe even a little too small. I guess if they are hand made you have to allow for slightly different sizing for each shoe. All in all a great ballet flat - has a little more sole and structure than most other flats and that's what I needed.
