I just got these shoes today, and straight out of the box, they fit like a glove--as if they were made for my foot. The metallic color is sophisticated, but still stylish, however, the hue is very similar to my skin. I'm not sure if I like that, and was hoping for something that would have more pop. I haven't decided if I will keep them or not yet, but they are a beautiful shoe.

I am raving about the white cracked leather Carsons. They are my 3rd pair of Carsons and are much softer, pliant, and take no time to break in, unlike my black pair and my tan pair. They are so much nicer than pic; they are beautiful! They're almost a soft gold or tan, without seeming metallic yet on the verge of it. They are like slippers; I just went to try them on to make sure they fit, and I ended up wearing them for the next six hours! (with no socks) Definitely slightly different (softer) leather than the other plain colors. The fit is perfect, as I always take an 8 in Fryes, and these need no break-in time.(My foot tends toward the wider, but shorter side). I have a lot of Frye boots, and these are the softest pair of any Frye product I own. I would say buy your regular Frye size, or if you have never purchased the brand before, they might run slightly larger, but just a tad, not by much. These are a great neutral and if you do not want a show stopper bright white or bright gold shoe, than this is a good alternative. Go for this color, I am pretty sure you will love it. Note to Zappos:Please reshoot the picture of this white crackle leather shoe (then just try to keep it in stock, and it will be a big hit)!

I cannot tell you how much I love these. They're very comfortable. I was worried about the hard sole, but there was nothing to worry about. The shoe bends and gives. I have a few pairs of high end flats with elastic at the heel and can't wear them for long. These don't have that. Love 'em!

These have to be the best quality/well made flats. I've purchased Frye boots before and was familiar with the brand but I'm extremely pleased with these shoes. Now I probably wouldn't wear these to disney land but for work or a casual day out they're perfect.

I tried for months to find a flat that looked good and was comfortable. After four pair I found these gems. I have them in 3 colors. I don't expect them to have arch support since they are flats. I have high arches. That said, they had better arch support than any other ballet flat I tried on or bought before. A bonus is the cut of the shoe, with my high arch, actually provides much needed ventilation for my feet, which can be an issue. I wear them all day at my job as an activities professional at an assisted living facility, and they are comfortable and look professional. They run slightly large, to the extent that I ordered an 8 1/2, but often 8 1/2 is the actual fit for me; sometimes it is 9. If you alternate between two sizes, I recommend buying these in the smaller size. Also, they required no "breaking-in". The first time, each pair felt like I'd worn it 50 times.

Runs about a half size short, especially if your two second toes are longer than your big toe. Otherwise I love the style and color.

I've been looking for a shoe like this for a long time and it was worth the price. The Cognac Leather isn't too orange in real life like some other shoes I've gotten. The leather is soft and doesn't rub. It fits snug so that the back doesn't fly off my foot when I walk. The shape looks cute with just about anything. I would buy these in more colors.

These are gorgeous. They are also very comfortable. They are true to size. A quality Frye product for sure! They are cute, too!

These shoes were so comfortable from the get-go and the yellow color is great. I get compliments on them each time I wear them! They stain easily, so I have to figure out the best way to clean/protect them, but I'd love to get them in another color. They are a tad too big, but going down a size would surely be too small. I normally wear a 9 in Frye, but I ordered the 9.5 for these and they worked out.

Be careful with the sizing! I followed others' advice to size down. Unfortunately, the shoes were too small. My usual size is 8.5 and in Frye boots I size down to an 8 but this did not hold true for these flats. My advice is to not size down. Too bad because these are really cute flats!
