True to size. I bought the Vaneli Serene to compare with the French Sole Passport (which runs at about double the price). Overall, I felt that the Serene won in the looks department (surprising!) whereas the Passport was more comfortable. Unlike other quilted patent-toe ballet flats out there, the Serene has a nice almond toe, which helps keep this shoe classic. The sides of the flat are just about average for a ballet flat -- neither too high (making your foot look long) nor too low (causing the shoe to gap as you walk). The leather and quilting itself seemed to be of good quality. In the comfort department, the Serene lost out to the Passport. The lining is synthetic, which causes my foot to sweat and get uncomfortable. Also, the little "heel" at the back is made of a hard plastic, not rubber, which means it slips on tile and wood floors. You won't take a fall because the rest of the outsole is rubber (so the ball of your foot stays planted), but having your heel slip around is certainly disconcerting! The Serene has no arch support (typical for ballet flats), but it's cushy enough to walk on. As with all ballet flats, I would probably add an insole for comfort.

Looks fashionable online, but looks very old fashioned on your foot.

Ordered the 8.5 and had to reorder the 9's - they were definitely too small and I am almost always an 8.5. Lovely shoe though, and Zappos' return policy made it so easy.

I love these shoes. They are the perfect pair of flats to wear with skinny jeans or leggings, and I get compliments on them every time I wear them. They felt true to size and to width, although the toe bed felt a bit tight on the first wear. Now that I've worn them several times, they feel great.

These are the greatest little flats. They have a nice arch support in them which is why I decided to try them. I broke both my ankles 6 months ago, and I've got to have comfort and support. These have everything including style.

These shoes are very cute and comfortable. When I first tried them on I was worried that they might be too stiff and chafe my feet after a while. This does not happen at all. I have walked long distances and stood in these for long periods of time with no discomfort. Don't hesitate to buy these. They are fashionable, comfortable and reasonably priced.
