French Sole Sloop - This shoe is really cute and comfortable. Much more than your average ballet shoe. Fits well, but not recommended for wide feet. Slightly disappointed with the inside construction for the price, hopefully they hold up.

Pretty & all-purpose, but run very small - I am a French and London Sole fan, but have consistently found that their shoes run a half to one size small. They are also not the best shoe for those with wide feet. However, they are comfortable, classic shoes that are appropriate for just about every occasion.

Expensive But Not Good - This shoe looks comfortable, but it's not. It's just too small.

Cute, but need an awful lot of stretching - I love the look of this shoe so much that I bought it in every color. It's taking me a long time to get to wear them, though, as they need extensive stretching at the top "corners" to keep them from cutting into my flesh. So far, they're great wear-at-home shoes if I can kick them off after a few minutes. Wouldn't dare wear them out where it mattered. Not yet, anyway.

If only they felt as good as they look - Like the other reviewers I find these shoes a half size smaller than expected (which, luckily, I anticipated with this brand) and painfully tight across the top of the foot (I have wide feet which makes the too tight design worse). And like the other reviewers I too will be keeping them (after having them professionally stretched) b/c they are just so cute. In fact, I'm about to buy two more black pairs to keep the closet stocked with this basic everyday shoe.

About French Sole
The design of the shoes is what makes French Sole stand out from the plethora of companies that have sought to emulate their formula for success. Only French Sole combines a true ballerina fit (each shoe molds to the wearer's foot) for the ultimate in comfort with cutting edge fashion and a selection that is unmatched – qualities that clients come to expect and appreciate from French Sole Shoes. But aside from the myriad variety of ballet and other shoes available, it's the people behind French Sole that have really made it a success.
French Sole Shoes is owned by Randy Ochart, who has passionately focused on designing, manufacturing and marketing the hottest ballet flats in the world from Spain, Italy, France and Brazil. When asked about the future of ballerinas as a category, Ochart explained, "In a phase when it seems that everybody feels the need to re-invent the ballerina, we stand alone as specialists. The extraordinary factories we have worked with for so many years understand the distinction between a ballerina and a flat shoe with a string attached." The fit, look, and hand of a ballerina is what French Sole is about, not just a hot trend.

The best flat ever - After reading the reviews I ordered one size up (I usually wear a 7 and I ordered an 8) in red. These are the most comfortable flats I have ever worn. They feel like slippers. And they are adorable. They aren't super supportive or anything but they serve the function they intend to. I walked for hours the first time I wore them and I was so happy. I wish they were still available in more colors!

Cute little slipper - These are sweet little shoes. Nice suede in a pretty shade of pink. They don't have much structure, and zero support, but that's not what you're looking for in this type of shoe. I usually wear an 8.5 and ordered these in 9. The fit is great, particularly since I'll probably be wearing them without stockings all summer.

Need to be broken in! These shoes are very cute and seem like they will eventually be as comfortable as slippers, but they sure weren't right out of the box. They are very tight across the top of the foot and have started to stretch out a little and become better over time. Just don't expect to wear them a lot right away!

Fantastic - GORGEOUS!!! Just make sure you buy a 1/2 size larger - or if you are in between sizes 1 full size larger. ZAPPOS has superb service.

I adore these shoes! I bought them in pink and they are comfortable like bedroom slippers but so cute and have this great sole. I bought them in my normal size 7 but I had to buy a size 8 because they run a little small... Great shoe, great look!

As I reviewed others experience on this pair of shoes, I ordered size 7 instead of my usual size of 6.5. Fits perfectly! I loved the color but must mentioned that there are some marks caused by its fabric, suede, on the surface and I don't know if they will even out by wearing them often, or use of suede brush on them. Though, I love the feeling when I first put them on, so comfortable. Too bad it doesn't have leather sole, but these are cute with jeans and other casual outfits. I don't think these are for a lot of walking to be honest, but more like slippers. Consider purchasing another color as well.

Very cute but weird fit - These shoes look great with everything but have absolutely no support. Also, the sizing is weird. I am a 7.5 normally and I wear an 8 in these. The 8 is still a little small but the 8.5 is way too big. They look so cute though, I wear them anyways.

Comfortable, adorable. My feet are wide just near the toes and I did get some minor chafe there, but it cleared up quickly. They run slightly small, but don't order them too large. Since the front is unstructured, it collapses a little if there's too much room. Overall, a great shoe. The design is unique enough to make the shoe look pretty hip. I would definitely buy another pair in another color.

Nice Flat - A cute, fairly comfortable flat--it's a nice change to the ballet flat look. There is no arch support but the sole is comfortable enough. The red is a fun color but gets dirty easily.

Soo cute! It took me about 2 wears to break these in, but they are quickly becoming one of my favorite pairs of shoes. These aren't hiking shoes, guys. They are stylish slippers to finish off a favorite outfit. I've received tons of compliments, and plan on buying them in black (I have the chocolate pair.) VERY cute! Re: the sizing, buy a half size larger than your regular size - I wear an 8 and bought 8.5 and they fit perfectly.

I listened to other reviewer's advice and ordered a 1/2 size up and it was a perfect fit. The shoes are cute and simple, the perfect everyday flat. It was my first order with Zappos, but I have already placed (and received!) the next one since.

Suede shoes - They were very, very cute but the pink suede looked like I had worn them for five years after only five hours. They also had no support so your heel pounded on the pavement. Had to send them back. A hundred dollar shoe should look good after only five hours.

Great shoes - They are soo comfy, the most comfy shoes I ever stepped foot in! The only thing is I wish they made them in other materials, b/c I’ve worn them so much they look like they are a 6months old after 2 weeks of owning them...
