I bought the dark brown. The color is a beautiful brown and the shoe is extremely comfortable. It is well worth the money based on the comfort of the shoe. Runs true to size.

This seemed like a cute & comfy flat. However, one of the shoes had some really hard, pokey stitching right at the heel. The dark brown dye rubbed off on my big toes during the short time I had them on to try them out. It\'s too bad, the leather seemed nice and the shoe would have worked perfectly. I would look for other Frye shoes that have the neutral leather interior.

I really like the simplicity of these. I\'ve wanted a ballet flat without embellishment (bows, flowers, etc.) and since I have 3 other pairs of Frye shoes and feel confident in the brand I thought I\'d give these a try. I ordered them in the dark brown in my usual size 7 and they fit great. The sole is a little slippery, even indoors, but hopefully once I wear them outside they\'ll scuff up enough to have some traction. That\'s my one complaint with Frye shoes-- the soles are always very smooth, shiny, and slippery and I have babies that I carry around and really don\'t want to slip and fall because of my shoes! Overall these are just what I have been looking for and I look forward to them conforming to my feet and becoming even more comfortable than they are out of the box. I may even come back for a second pair-- after I snag a pair of Frye\'s great looking oxfords.

This ballet flat is adorable and the blue is beautiful. I had to send them back since I have a tiny heel and putting in heel bumpers never works for me. Otherwise, they fit true to size or perhaps a smidge bigger.

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.

Frye shoes usually run 1/2 a size big for me and these flats are no exception. I ordered my normal size 9 and an 8 1/2 just to be sure. The 9s were way too big and at first the 8 1/2s felt too small. I almost returned them. I wore them a few more minutes and they stretched enough to be perfect. I wore these shoes all over San Francisco streets and rocky view points and found them to be very comfortable. I am very picky about comfort and have sensitive heels and had no problem with these shoes. They don't have arch support but my arches didn't hurt or cramp at all. Very nice!

A very beautiful shoe. I had to order a size smaller than usual to get a snug fit that doesn\'t slip right off. The back of the heel slumps down a little bit from the softness of the leather. It doesn\'t affect the fit at all. It\'s just a visual thing, but not enough to pass up these beauties. Very nice quality, and they have that wonderful leather smell. I have a gravel driveway and am noticing that the sole is getting worn quickly from walking on it, so I may have to change into them in the car! But all that said, I do love these beautiful shoes, and if I avoid the gravel, I think they will last a long long time.\r\n

Beautiful leather on these shoes. I listened to the other comments about size and ordered these in an 8 (I usually wear 8.5) but when they arrived I felt they were too small. Sadly they are now sold out in an 8.5 in the color I wanted. I am on the wait list for an 8.5 so I ordered them in a different color, we'll see if I like them or not, they may work out great. I called Zappos and spoke to a customer service rep. He was so helpful! He told me where I was on the waiting list and how many pairs of the shoe they expected to get back in stock. I am a V.I.P. with Zappos. I have been ordering from Zappos since they started and I love Zappos!

Super cute, but huge design flaw: the leather wraps and is glued and stitched to a point so that it pokes in the soft spot below your inner ankle. Had to return. No excuse for that in a shoe this price! Also zero arch support, which surprised me in a Frye shoe.

So feminine, understated and pretty besides comfortable. I've been looking for a pair of plain ballet flats for a while now--a long while. When I saw these, I knew that the search was over. Normally wear a 5.5 and ordered that size. They fit perfectly.

These shoes are the best thing since sliced bread. I am a hard walker who lives in New York City, so I break holes through shoes like I drink water. I have very sensitive feet, and these shoes are comfortable right out of the box. The leather is like buttah. They felt a little tight at first, but as you wear them, they mold to your feet. These are the kind of shoes that are worth getting resoled after wearing them out. This is probably the best shoe investment I ever made. Hooray!

I love the look of the shoe but it has a slippery sole and is dangerous on any tile floor. The style is great though. Just be careful where you walk in these shoes.

I love these shoes! I wanted a comfortable little flat that didn't kill my feet (Tory Burch). These are great! Super soft leather molds to your feet! No break in time. Leather sole is a bit slick, but I guess that is to be expected. Very happy with all of my Frye purchases!

These shoes are gorgeous! I love the simplicity and the high quality. They've stretched a bit as I've worn them, I ordered a half size down and they fit well.

I purchased this in three colors and I think they are all just grand. The fit is fantastic and I like the side slope and the pancake heel. I spent my college days in Frye boots and I was pleased to find cute shoes in great colors.

These shoes are rad and really well made. \r\nAdvice, order half size down. \r\nAlso, get your cobbler to put some thin soles on them, as the leather is slippery and the shoes will last a lot longer, too.

This is the closest I've come to finding a cute and comfortable flat that goes with everything. The heel has a tendency to slip off, so I'd suggest ordering a half size smaller. (I put in adhesive heel grips, which seem to help). Also the wood sole is very slippery so I put grips on the bottom, which helps a ton. I love the color and style. I just don't love logos, so I wish it wasn't stamped on the side. Overall, this (modified) shoe is fulfilling its purpose.

Darling! I was looking for a solid flat with no embellishment and Frye really delivered. The fit was true to size, and very flattering. I got the dark brown and it is a beautiful, natural tone. I wear these every chance I get. If they came in black I know I would never wear another shoe again!

These shoes are very comfortable! I usually have bad luck with flats -- they almost always pinch my feet. These are great, though! The sole is slippery, but I haven't had a chance to add a grip to them and I haven't fallen yet, so it's not too bad!
