These shoes are so comfortable! Very lightweight and flexible soles. I have the zebra print, which I love! It's my first pair of animal print shoes, and I want to get more!

This is an extremely comfortable shoe. It\'s like wearing a slipper. Ordering a half a size up was just right. This shoe is roomier, wider, and covers more of the foot than other flats so it\'s a more casual than sleek look.

I own these in red as well and get compliments on them all the time, possibly because they are red shoes. I wanted a pair of more neutral ones so I got the anthracite, which are a little more neutral-gray than the brown. These are far from being the perfect shoe; however, with some tweaking, heel-inserts or full sole-inserts (if you can fit them in), they can be a very practical shoe. Without the inserts, though, it pretty much feels like you are walking barefoot on pavement. Expensive for flats, but once they are worn in with the proper tweaking, they are very comfortable and I must say, make me feel very French!

These are cute, but not very supportive and the sole is very thin. But they\'re good for warm weather and when you\'re not doing much walking! I have a very narrow heel and these stay on my feet.

Great shoe!!! I am planning on ordering more. Had to return my first pair for a 1/2 size up. I am usually a perfect 6.5 but did need a little more room in these to be comfortable.

Well, when they say these are flats they mean they are F-L-A-T-S! These are cute shoes and I love how they come in a bunch of fun patterns and colors, but this is as flat as a shoe can get. They remind me of the inexpensive slippers you get in Chinatown except they cost about 90% more. They were immediately comfortable, but I knew I would pay for lack of support. I also found the top a little too high on my foot. I think I like a little more toe "cleavage". Also, I ordered two different colors hoping they would be keepers, but one pair was bigger than the other. Holding them up side by side they were nowhere near equal in size. Both read 8 on the bottom of the shoe. They don't seem like the quality of a pair of shoes at this price.

I like the shoe, comfy, but it does run very wide! I ordered 1/2 size larger then my normal size, which I needed.

When I first got the shoe I noticed it pinched the back of my heel. After a few wears I guess my foot built up a callous there so it doesn't pinch anymore. However, I cannot wear this shoe for more than an hour of walking because the top pinches into the top of my foot leaving a red line that stays sore. The shoe is the correct size, and it's soft and comfortable in every other aspect, except for the lining around the top, which is what is pinching into me.

Solve the arch support issue. I bought these because I needed a cute new pair of winter flats. I solved the arch support issue by also ordering a pair of Birkenstock insoles. Voila! The shoes are about as cute as flats can get, and I didn't find they ran as small as some of the other reviewers said, possibly because I have a fairly narrow foot.

Love these shoes & have worn them almost every day since they arrived. Very comfortable and look cute with just about everything. I have a hard time with ballet flats because many of them don't cover enough of your toes to be comfortable walking shoes, but these do! The only negative is that they run big and are sort of loose on my feet. I even put in shoe pads and they still feel loose. I would order a size down, or get 2 pairs & plan to return one.

Based on other reviews, I ordered a half size up. They are a bit loose but work. Great for travel as my feet always swell.

I wish I could get these in every color. These are the most comfortable shoes I own! From the very first day you wear them, you will adore them. No breaking in period. In addition, they are adorable ballet flats. I currently own them in black and a brushed gold metallic, and find myself reaching for one of those two pairs almost every day. I have owned the gold metallic for almost two years now, and they still look brand new, and have held their fit beautifully. Wear them with anything you wear ballet flats with. My personal fav is to wear with skinny jeans. Do not hesitate to buy; they are worth every penny!

I ordered these shoes because of the style and leather lining. I have high expectations of the overall quality. I read the reviews before purchasing my first pair. At age 64, I am lucky to have very good, healthy feet and no need of support. I take an 8.5 - 9 Narrow shoe, and chose to order a 9 in this model. They feel just right! They wouldn't stay on my feet if I ordered a full size up, as recommended by many customers. My big toe is right up to the end of the shoe, but they feel very comfortable. If your feet are narrow, I recommend buying your normal size!

These are very comfortable shoes that make you feel almost like you are barefoot. They do run small, so I ordered one size up and they fit perfectly. I have gotten several compliments on them and they go with everything.

I was a ballet dancer when I was younger and I just knew I\'d love the style and fit of these shoes. I ordered a 9 and I am usually either an 8 1/2 or a 9. The 9 was a little snug but they have stretched out a bit and are comfortable. I do wish that they were a bit cheaper, but I am pleased with the purchase overall.\r\n

I felt these were a little snug so I'm ordering the next size up. I will take in to consideration some people felt they stretched out a bit. So maybe snug at first is okay. I was definitely hesitant on spending this much on shoes that look just like the ones I got from Target for probably one fifth the price. The quality is better though.

I love the comfort of these flats! I've been looking for a pair of flats that wouldn't be so narrow! I have somewhat of an average wide foot. These flats are perfect. They make my foot look just perfect. I've received a few compliments. I'm astonished, since I bought the plain suede ones. So I can only imagine how many compliments Ill get on my next pair! I'm an 8 1/2 with a thin pair of socks or pumps without socks! and I wear a 9 nine if I'm using a thicker sock with the shoe. So I read the reviews stating that they run small and I went with a 9. They seem just perfect on my bare feet, not too tight. I can tell they'll be great after a few wears. I highly recommend these flats to anyone. Stop searching! These are perfect!

Not for all day walking! I felt so guilty buying such expensive flats but once I tried them on, they were so darn comfy I had to keep them. So we go on vacation and me and my flats spent a lot of time walking, and well, the width is great. My feet are small and wide so I thought it was adorable that the shoes looked like my feet before I even put them on! Unfortunately, it was a bit rainy one day on vacation and the suede didn't hold up so well. I'm going to find some suede cleaner (?) and try to fix my little spot o' water. Also, we did a lot of sightseeing and I found these shoes to be a little on the uncomfy side on the top of the shoe, probably because I was still breaking them in, and my little toes wanted to be in open-toes that day. But overall, a good shoe. I would be a lot more happy about this purchase if these shoes had been about a third less. To me, that's what they are worth.

I am in love with these shoes! They fit my feet perfectly and are so cute, for dresses, skirts, or jeans. They are 100% true to size. I am definitely ordering them in other colors! I just needed some cute brown flats, and I got these in the Brown Tejus. Definitely 100% worth it!

Such a cute shoe. Too bad it's too wide. I have somewhat narrow feet, but usually standard widths fit me fine. These are just too wide. Also, as said in other reviews, they really feel like a slipper and not necessarily a shoe with the kind of support I would want if I was walking around in them all day.

I bought these shoes because the reviews were good, and I was looking for a good pair of flats. I got them in my normal size, and admittedly they were a bit tight when I first got them, but after about a week they were stretched out a bit, and really comfortable. I am a ballet flats queen, and I wore my last pair of ballet flats 3-4 days a week all day. They were made of cloth, cost me $30, and held up for nearly 3 years. I bought these shoes 4 months ago, and already the upper part of the shoe has unattached from the sole. I feel obligated to wear them since I paid so much for them, but I must admit I was disappointed in the quality, and I am back in the market for a good pair of black flats.

Cute flat shoe. Sloop is almost like a slipper, so if your looking for support to wear these all day you might be disappointed. \r\n\r\nI ordered 1/2 size up and it fit snug but after a few hours wear it now is perfect. \r\n\r\nI did order 2 other pairs of Sloop, both in the same size and each pair fit a little differently. I needed to return one pair because it was to big.\r\n\r\nCare should be taken if you are wearing it outdoors. The shoe has very little sole and easily picks up dirt.\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

Perfect fit! They are the cutest, most comfortable flats ever. They're simple, but I wear them with just about everything. It took about 1 week to break them in, now they fit like household slippers. I've gotten them for my sisters as birthday presents. Would recommend, for those looking for everyday flats, to run errands in, run about with the kids, or even for casual work place.

I ordered these shoes up 1/2 size like the previous reviews recommended, however, they were tight across the top of the foot. So I sent them back and ordered up another 1/2 size and they were still tight across the top of the foot. Other than that, the shoes were very soft and comfy, but I was afraid they’d be too big if I ordered another 1/2 size larger, so those went back, too!

 |  | I wanted to call and commend you on the customer service I received and how thrilled I was to find Zappos. I will definitely be ordering again and again. The town I live in, here in Wyoming does not have many shopping options and I would need to travel about 5 hours for a major shopping trip. This is a fabulous service with free shipping on orders and also for returns. I know of several people here that will enjoy using your service also and I am certainly going to tell them about Zappos. I just wanted to let you know. |  | ~ Patricia K., October 27 2009
