I have these in the blue color. They are very soft leather and comfortable. The insole is sewn to the sole which is good, because I have a different pair of Frye flats where the gluey insole comes out every time I take them off. My one complaint is that they were so slippery that I had to have a rubber sole put on them and I was afraid that I was going to completely wipe out in them. With the new sole they are very secure.

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.
Brands I'd also recommend: Dansko, Frye, Camper, Crocs, Havaianas, Puma, Adidas

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.

I admit that I bought this flat because I have a Frye boot (Carson shortie) in the color smoke and it is an incredibly versatile color. The leather is soft and the shoe did not require any break in period.

Very soft, comfortable and easy to walk for many hours! I bought them in cognac collar and they look very beautiful. Note that they run 1/2 bigger. I usually wear size 9, but I got these in 8.5 and they fit perfectly.

I can hardly wear them after only owning them a month. The leather is so soft that they stretch so easily...too much. They are very relaxed. I ordered a 10 and usually have to wear them in until they get comfortable. These fit right from the start which should have been a warning to me. I suggest ordering a down a half size.

Leather is soft and beautiful, and I have received many compliments on these stylish shoes! They are quite slippery on the soles, but do get better with wear. I also think they are a little loose on narrow heels, but I got used to them quickly.

Love the shoe. Seem true to size or slightly large. I bought my normal size and they fit perfectly. My only complaint is that I bought the smoke color, which turned out to be a dark brown rather than a gray, which is what I expected. I still kept them because they are so cute and seem like they will be comfy!

I love the look of the shoe and I am pleased with it over all. I do find that on my left foot (which is slightly larger) that the top of the shoe is constrictive. This condition has gotten better somewhat with breaking in, but it is still noticeable. Despite the slight discomfort I'll be keeping these pretty little things!

These shoes are absolutely amazing. Due to the reviews that said they ran big, I ordered the eggplant color a half-size down (6.5 instead of 7), and although they were tight at first, they stretched out in no time. I have wide feet, and although they're certainly made for a slightly narrower foot, they still look good and are comfortable, even as a college student who walks everywhere. The bottom is a bit slippery and can be a little dangerous at times, but it's definitely not a deal-breaker with shoes this nice.

Ordered a half size down after reading reviews and had to return them for my true size. If you ask me, they run perfectly TTS. I have the dark brown and they look great with the brass hardware. My daughter has the smoke color and, honestly, they are so close to the dark brown when they are side by side that we can't figure out why Frye went to the trouble to make the "different" colors. They are NOT grey in any classic sense if you are wondering. Closer to brown. Comfy and cute all the way around though.

These are great shoes. I ordered a second pair after receiving the first pair. They are top quality and one of the most comfortable pair of shoes I've ever worn.

Really loved the style of this shoe from the website views, but returned because felt and looked too exposed on the top toe area. Size felt too big. Seemed very well made, so will keep looking at this brand in future.

I've gotten two pairs of these, because they are so darn comfortable! I have a couple of concerns as I wear them. I've only owned them a week and I bought them in an 8 and returned them for a 7½ - and I still feel like they're a bit big. I'm afraid the leather is going to stretch and they will be even bigger. The leather is beautiful, but thin - so they are kind of squishing down; I want to love them because they're adorable, but I have a funny feeling that they are not going to last long. I might have to return both pairs and get a 7.

Ok, so I returned these for the second time. I love them but they do in fact run a whole size too big. I wear an 8 in most flats. Be aware the leather is very soft and will stretch.

I ordered my usual size and a half size down and found that the half size down was a little tight. I am keeping the usual size and hope they don't stretch out too much. They are a top quality shoe with a look to match.
