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.

Orthotics fit very well in this shoe. I wear them to work every day now for 3 weeks. My first pair. My grandson convinced me to try these shoes. I stand and push wheel chairs all day.

Great look, but beware of sizing. I bought 3 pairs in size 12 because everybody said they ran small. I usually wear a 10 in open-back shoes, and an 11 in closed shoes. Well, this size 12 just barely made it. If you really wear a size 12, the shoes will not fit, they will be far too small. They are somewhat snug across the last, but should loosen up quickly. The style is great, especially with tapered pants for a nice slim look. I bought 2 pairs in black suede so I'd have a back-up pair, and 1 pair in Anthracite, which is a terrific muted gray/brown color. I'll keep looking for more colors in this style, and hope they produce more in a 12. Their web site says their shoes are made in a few different places, and my one criticism of this brand is they need to get their sizing together – it's unpredictable, not uniform, and plain old wrong.

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).

Love My Zappos -
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!!!

I've always wanted a decent pair of leopard print flats and I've finally found it!!! NOTE: They run kinda small. I'm a 7, but had to get a 7 1/2. In my opinion, French Sole makes THE BEST ballerina flats on the planet. I have it in black and it goes well with everything! Super duper comfortable - LOVE IT! LOVE IT! LOVE IT!

Like a slipper -
I love this shoe. It is so soft and light. It is true that there is not much padding, but I just put a little heel pad in it from Foot Petals and it's great.

Looked ratty after one wear! When this shoe arrived, I loved it. Very cute, very comfortable. I felt a little foolish spending this amount of money on a shoe that has more of a house shoe/slipper sole than an actual leather or rubber sole, but I was wooed by the cute giraffe print. However, after one wear to the office this shoe looks dingy and worn out, as though I'd been wearing them for a year! Very poor quality. Further, a few light drops of water from the bathroom sink caused the giraffe print to bleed and turn a muddled grey. I promptly treated these shoes with a water repellant spray for suede, but the damage is done. Even aside from the bleeding print, the overall construction of the shoe is far too flimsy to warrant the price tag.

Sizing Warning -
Beware of sizing before ordering. I neglected to check the reviews and had to send mine back for a larger size. I really like the look, though, and ended up ordering two pairs when I returned the original shoes.
