Funky looking -
I grew up wearing Jack Purcells, and love ballet flats. I thought these would be the perfect combination of the two. But the toe comes up too far, and it makes the shoe look really funny. I looked like I had duck feet. The shoe is real sleek, almost feels like a slipper, if they were lower cut, not necessarily showing toe cleavage, but lower cut than they are, I would have kept them. Also, I've always worn a boys 6 in boys Jack Purcells (womens's 7.5), and ordered these in that size, but they felt about a half size bigger than that. If you're looking for a cute, comfy, casual ballet flat type tennis shoe try the Vans KVD in black, it's a girls version of the boys classic. Very cute.

Love these shoes thus far! They're a perfect basic and go with anything from jeans to sundresses! They did rub on my heel, though, and felt big at first. I solved these problems by putting the shoes in the washing machine with fabric softener! Not only do they not rub, they also shrank! Great service Zappos--ordered them Saturday, they came on Monday!

I love Zappos!
I ordered these at 5pm and received them the next day. After reading the reviews, I got a full size smaller. They were too tight. I think half a size smaller would have been better. Anyway, they are really flat and have no support at all. I'm not sure if I like the way they look. They look better in the picture. I recommend Keds for more support.

I absolutely love these shoes! They are the greatest flats for dressing up or down. Despite snow on the ground I wear them anyway. PERFECT shoe!!!

Great Little Shoes -
These were a great buy!! A little tight across the top when I first put them on, but they stretched out after a few wearings. Very cute and versatile- great to slip on instead of a pair of flip flops. I love them!!

Cute FLATS -
These shoes are quite cute, however there are very flat. A pair of insoles in them could do wonders. I found that they run a full size too big. I usually wear a 9 1/2 or 10 and ended up with an 8 1/2.

Order a size smaller!
Very cute shoes but make sure you order a size smaller than you normally wear. I had to return the first pair I ordered to get a smaller size.

These are really cute shoes that practical goes with every casual outfit you wear. The thing is that you need to wear socks with these or else your feet/shoe gets sweaty and you cant take out the footbeds to wash them. I have 2 pairs of these and I hope they never stop making them.

Full size smaller -
I love these shoes because they go with everything and are very casual. I have a very flat foot so they are comfortable to me. Watch out because they begin to smell shortly after you start wearing them. I've had mine for about 6 months and they just started to squeak when I walk, so I had to by another pair! I had to buy a full size smaller. I usually wear an 8.5 but I bought the 7.5 and they fit great. Converse always runs small. Anyways this is a great shoe!

Nice, simple, comfy flat -
I am so happy that I purchased these flats because they seem to go with EVERYTHING which is exactly what I was hoping for. I listened to other people's reviews about the sizing and I went for a half size smaller than normal. They fit perfectly! It's pretty comfortable for flats compared to other ones I have. I love them and I have no complaints.

Cutest shoes ever!
These shoes are so great because they are simple, yet stylish. I ordered a half size down, like everyone else, and they fit like a glove! I am so happy with these and I recommend them to anyone and everyone! :D. Because they are so flat, I put in some insoles and that did the trick.

The perfect city shoes -
I live in New York City and walk a lot, so I needed a shoe that was comfortable enough to walk in but still looked good enough to wear with my skirts. Well this is exactly what I needed. I got a half size smaller, the other reviewers were right, and I wear these shoes with shorts, skirts, pants, etc. Great shoes, black goes with everything!

Oh, sweet Purcell’s...
I own a few older pairs of Purcell’s, and love them (unlike Converse chucks, they have some support!). I was really excited to see these in such a cute, stylish shoe. And they are just that- cute and stylish, but boy, no arch support, and very thin soles. If you're at all more function than fashion, don't even think about walking around for a long time in these. A day at work if you're not on your feet, okay (with inserts). But a day of hardcore tourism, say- bad idea!

Love 'em!
These are great summer shoes, very comfy! I wear a 7, and bought a 7, they are a little loose but not enough to get a half size down. Very flexible, good with inserts.

Cute, but no -
These look cute online, but they are less cute in person. The vamp, the black part, comes up really high on your foot, which looks a little odd. Also, the sole of the shoes is very, VERY thin. The fit was just odd all around.

Cute but oww for the first day -
My feet hurt so bad after wearing these for one day, I gave them a rest for a week and then tried them again and now I can’t take them off. I feel a bit dumb with these on since I hate the big white rubber toe covering look of Converse’s, but there good flats for hanging around in.

Cute shoes!
I love these shoes! They're cute and go with everything. They're also light, and are perfect summer shoes. I followed the advice of the reviews on this site and ordered a half size smaller than my regular size (I'm usually an 8.5 and I ordered an 8), and they still feel a bit loose... but it should be no problem.
Speedy delivery and I was glad that zappos had my size. Thank you!

These shoes are perfect!
These shoes are just what I was looking for: Comfortable, fun, with style. I'm already thinking about ordering a "back-up" pair in case these shoes are discontinued next year. As recommended, I ordered a half size smaller than usual, and use insoles to deal with a bit of inevitable stretching and to combat the "shoes without socks in summer" aroma. But on the whole, I couldn't be happier. I also love the Zappos shipping and return policy - this was my first time ordering from them, and I wouldn't have done it without that security.

Sweet action -
They look 10 xs more fabulous in person; however they do seem to be a half size longer than the actual size. I am a 7, and I should have gotten a 6 1/2, but it doesn't seem to make that big of a difference. They are extremely comfortable, and one of the cutest pair of shoes I have ever bought! I am extremely pleased and would recommend these to anyone!!

Great summer shoe -
These are great summer shoes. I ordered a full size smaller, and they fit well. They're comfy, and I've received many compliments on them. Keep some powder or shoe spray on hand though, as one's feet might get pretty hot in these.

Adorable shoes with comfort bonus -
These shoes are GREAT. I found them to run a little big - maybe a half size. But, I wear them with or without insoles at my leisure. They essentially fit like a glove. They are definitely going to be my "sneakers" for the summer.

Very cute.
This shoe is great for summer- very comfortable even though there isn't really any support. It’s like being barefoot. But as other reviewers have said, runs a little large. I usually wear a 9 but I ordered an 8.5 and it is still a bit roomy.

A great shoe that runs large -
I never go down in size when buying shoes, but these did run a solid half-size larger than marks. I bought these to wear when commuting to and from work, and they are extremely comfortable and stylish. They look good with cropped pants and skirts as well...And you can't beat the price!
