Cute, but too small -
These shoes seemed as though they would be quite comfortable, but were at least a half size too small, perhaps even a whole size.

Great shoe!
I really like this shoe! So soft. No cushioning or arch support, but I didn't expect any in such a low profile style. I followed the recommendation to order a size up, but I think I would have been fine going up only a half a size. My feet are quite broad across the balls and I did not feel that the shoes were too narrow.

Worth it!
I love these shoes! No breaking in required, and oh-so-chic! The only drawback is that my foot a little wide, so there is a little pleating/buckling on the side (nothing I can't live with!).

This shoe is very nice looking; good materials, only one seam. I usually have a hard time with ballet flats because I am narrow thru the heel and these worked. It doesn't have a very sturdy sole and it definitely is a full size too small. I wouldn't wear them for a lot of walking; they (and my feet) aren't up to it.

So cute, but a little delicate -
These are the cutest, simplest suede ballet flats I've ever seen. I love them and so does everyone else who sees them. They seem a little fragile, they are so soft, but my pair actually have a rubber sole - which is strange, because the first pair I bought (which was too big - I bought 2 sizes up based on reviews, but only needed to go one size up) had a soft leather sole. So, maybe as they continued making this shoe, they put a rubber sole on it. Because that soft leather sole would never have lasted for street wear. But with the rubber sole they are soft, comfy and cute. Definitely worth the $.

Great looking, comfortable flat -
I love these shoes. They go with loads of casual styles, look attractive, and feel like slippers. While I wouldn't wear them to dress up, they do work equally well with jeans or trousers as a hip alternative to tennis shoes. A word of warning: air them out before putting them in your closet - they have a very astringent odor at first.

Pretty comfortable - I ordered these shoes for a nice pair of casual flats, and because I'd seen them in catalogs looking great with jeans. They are comfortable. But based on other reviews, I ordered a full size larger than what I normally wear. I now feel that it was a mistake. They almost feel too much like comfortable floppy slippers, and I wasn't looking for that feel. Not to wear out for the day. I love the color (I ordered the greenish color ) and the look, but I think they'll mainly stay "around the house" shoes.

Perfect ballet flat -
This is it. The perfect ballet flat, just like Audrey Hepburn wore. I wish I could afford to buy every color. I normally wear a 7.5, but got the 8 after reading reviews, and it's perfect.

All time favorite shoe - I love this shoe! It runs small but 1/2 size bigger than normal quickly stretches to perfect. I have purchased several pairs in different colors and will buy more if they become available.

Fabulous!
I bought these shoes in giraffe print and I adore everything about them! I read that they run small, but I took a chance and ordered them in my size that I usually wear (6 1/2) and they fit perfectly. I'm so glad I didn't listen to the reviews I read and get them bigger. They are comfortable and look great. Couldn't be happier.

Size 12 is hard to find -
I love these shoes! This size, in this style, is very very hard to find. The look is perfect for NYC, unfortunately, if you have a high arch as I do, you may find that the shoe top is a little tight. I have these in black, metallic lt. blue and zebra!

Darling ballet slipper -
This is the cutest shoe, I got the leopard or cheetah, and it is so cute, light weight, easy to wear if you’re comfortable in flats, otherwise takes some getting used to, I sized up, and they are great for around the house and running to the store.

The shoe size ran a bit smaller than usual but they are so adorable on. I had to return them for one size larger than I usually wear but Zappos.com has an easier return policy than I have ever seen. I actually received the new pair before I had time to put the smaller pair in the mail.

French Sole Sloop -
This is the 2nd pair I purchased for my daughter except in a different color. This pair has caused her blisters after several wearings and she simply cannot wear them anymore. I wish these came in a wider width - that would certainly help her. Cute shoes, just TOO uncomfortable.

Smell -
I ordered the black suede shoe and it smells so bad I had to take them out of my closet. I have been putting them outside hoping this smell will go away. So far it has not (after more than 2 weeks).

These shoes are very stylish and very comfortable. Because they are so soft, they will not last as long as a heavier flat.

Quite the European look -
I have the animal print shoes. I love the look and feel, BUT when they were splashed with water, the colors RAN. I actually bought my first pair at a store and returned them. This time I bought them again from Zappos, but this time I sprayed them with Scotch Guard before wearing them.

Cute shoes -
I liked these shoes, but can't really find a size that fits. No arch support, so if you have flat feet, like me, they are fine.

Runs small -
These shoes are so pretty, and come in so many colors, but they DO run small. Also I suspect even if I bought them in a larger size the edge of the toe box would still bind on the top of my foot. If you're going to order them, go at least 1/2 size up, and give them a good try-on before committing to keeping them!

Meh.
Cute and comfortable, like a slipper, but offers absolutely no cushioning or support. It's your sole against the pavement -- not great if you've got to walk miles in them. They're also very flimsy; they get misshapen and show wear immediately. (My taupe suede ones got blackish smudges on them at first wearing and now look bad.) Not worth the price.

Cute, but small -
Very cute. Perfect casual ballet flat. Great flexible sole means comfortable to run errands in all day. BUT, it runs a full size smaller than marked. I normally wear a US 9.5 or 10, but I had to go up to an 11. I also had a cobbler put on an additional rubber sole, for comfort and durability. It really helps.

I wear this with dresses, jeans, and slacks. I bought the Bronze and plan to buy a couple more colors. I bought a size larger than my normal and they're perfect.

Adorable, but small -
A warning to fellow big-footed people: These shoes are narrow! They are beautiful and it's awesome that they come in so many colors, but they run a full size too small. I ordered 11M (my usual size) and they are very tight, so unfortunately they have to go back.

LOVE these shoes!!!
I absolutely adore the Sloop! I have 4 pair!!! They are great for casual, dressy, and work! I've even worn them traveling... good for walking and super easy to pack. So comfortable. I have a hard time with leather flats sometimes... some are so hard around the Achilles tendon and I blister very easily on my heels. Absolutely no problems with these... like wearing a slipper! They do run small. I wear an 8 normally and must wear the 8.5 in these. Oh, and best of all... no ridiculous toe cleavage!!!
