Love these shoes; they are even cuter in real life than they are online. I am normally a true 10. I read a bunch of reviews and decided to size down to a 9.5 and ended up exchanging them for a 10. I got the sky color first and a then a second pair in the navy. The sole does not seem thin to me as mentioned in other reviews. These shoes were pretty comfy right away with just some minor breaking in wearing them around the house with a thin sock. Adorable shoe that I can wear into the fall.

These shoes do stretch, they just need to be worn in, so if you do purchase them and they seem tight and uncomfortable, just give them a little time (and wear)! I love mine and am now about to purchase a couple more pairs!!

Beautiful Flats - These flats are cute, soft, and comfortable - I wore them for a full day right out of the box. I have two pair and am considering a third. Frye's are always great!

The perfect flat! I love most Frye shoes, but these are pretty much perfect. I didn't have to break them in, I absolutely love the style (I got them in red), and they're very well-made. I look forward to wearing them for many years!

Perfect for spring! I got these in orange, and when I saw them in the box I wasn't sure I would like them. They are kind of an odd shape. But OH WOW are they cute on! And they felt great right away. I might get them in yellow, too.

Liked them so much I bought 3 pair - These were comfortable from the moment I put them on. I bought both shades of blue and the yellow. The light colors show dirt but they clean right up with saddle soap. I'm thinking about buying the brown pair.

Nice quality - Ordered my usual dress shoe size (9), but these were too small. I would recommend sizing up 1/2 a size if you tend to need more room in flats vs. heels. One foot felt fine, but the other one was in agony because my big toe was hitting the leather at the corner of the outside toenail. I also felt like one shoe had been stretched out a bit more than the other one. Seems like great quality leather and the look is feminine yet sophisticated, but these are not for me!

Cute but takes a lot of breaking in - I got the orange/red color. They seemed slightly tight but not enough to warrant changing your usual size. These flats are adorable with jeans or dresses, unfortunately they are super uncomfortable! The first time I wore them was walking about 10 blocks to have dinner and my heels were rubbed raw by the time I got there; I'm lucky my friend gave me a ride home. Waiting for my heels to heal and then I will wear them around the house until I break them in more. The leather seems like excellent quality so I still feel they were worth the price.

Super cute, will take some breaking in - Very cute shoes and, once I get them broken in they should be pretty comfortable. They seem very good quality, though as other reviewers mentioned, the sole seems like it will wear rather quickly. I typically wear 9-10 (10.5 running) and the 9.5 fit me great. Just don't expect to do much walking in these the first few times you buy them!

Frye's Kate Toe - Super cute but super uncomfortable. Gave me major blisters. I hope with break in time they will feel better.
