The shoe is very nice looking the only fault is that the heel is a little wider than I think it should be since it is AA. I usually wear an 8 1/2 AA but in this case I had to exchange it for the 9 N. I will say it was a pleasure dealing with Zappos. I would definitely buy from them again.

Pretty. Very comfortable. Great fit--perfectly true to size.

Such a pretty, versatile shoe. Good arch support for a flat and goes well with dressy and casual. Walked around NYC for days in them and they felt very comfortable. Only complaint is that their size ten felt a bit big, but I added an insole and took care of that problem.

These shoes are a dressed up version of a simple flat, including a little heel to boost you up a pinch. Love the shoe. It runs a bit small and snug for my normal street size of 6-6 1/2, a little loose on the size 7, but I think I'll keep the 7 and put in some inserts to hold my foot in.

I loved the style of this shoe, but I have dancer's feet and it hurt in the bunion area. Zappos has been so patient with me and dealing with them is a pleasure.

Cute shoe; just what I was looking for, but it ran very small.

They are really comfortable and cute. They are a little bit narrow and run a little bit small so if you are btwn sizes opt for the larger size. They do make a noise when I walk similar to a high heel.

I have been looking for a good, everyday, black flat that offers arch support for a while now. I was so happy to see this shoe on Zappos, and notice the obvious arch. This is a great shoe in that it is stylish and offers adequate arch support; however, I still would have liked even more arch support. However, it is still the most supportive and stylish flat I have been able to find for my size 10.5 wide feet (I ordered the 11, which works). Since the material is fabric, the flat can't be worn in the rain/snow. Overall, again, good shoe, just wish it was even more supportive!

So I got the black shoes in a 7.5 W and while they aren't perfect, they are pretty close. I have bunion problems on my right foot, so I wanted to get shoes that were roomy enough so that I can go about the day without feeling uncomfortable. I'm still in the process of breaking the shoes in, but they are decent enough that I can wear them for most of the day without any pain. I also love the style. One of my problems is that my feet get a bit sweaty, but it's not too annoying. These shoes fit fine, but I was hoping for some more room. I had to double-check to make sure that they weren't the normal sized ones. Also, I appreciate the arch support and the support at the bottom. I think these shoes are worth it.

Instantly comfortable and has a good arch support that many flats don't have. The color is great and works well with this season's neutrals.

This is a cute shoe and fits pretty well -- maybe just a tad narrower than normal. The problem is, however, that the front edge of the sole under the heel is extremely slippery. I slipped at least 5 times -- on my hardwood floor, the running board of my car and even on the street -- in the first wearing. I even tried to scuff up the sole but it didn't help.

Love this shoe -- super cute, but also quite comfortable because of rubber sole and fact that it is not totally flat - like many ballet style shoes. Nice padding and flexible.

These are a great versatile pair of flats that can be dressed up or down.

I love the high end style of the Vaneli shoes, but I always have to order a larger size than I wear in other brands. And they do run a bit narrow. I take between a 6.5M and a 7M, so I always start with a 7M. I would need a 7.5M in these shoes.

I bought these shoes in two colors. They are extremely comfortable. I purchased them in a W width. There is a padded arch, adding to the comfort.

Great shoe - very comfortable and stylish. Gotta love Zappos - fast delivery and very easy return process.

Van Eli's always run short and narrow. I usually take a 7M, and I first purchased my regular size. Too small. I re-ordered a 7.5M since it was on sale. Still too narrow. Nicely made shoe...but not for me. For a Chanel-look ballet flat...they skimped a little on the cut of the shoe. It is too low on the sides making your foot look wider. I have better looking Chanel knock-offs.

These shoes are incredible. I wore them while traveling, and with only a thin little ped in between my heel and the heel of the shoe -- on the first day of wear, no less! -- I had no blistering or discomfort while toting a huge suitcase and running from terminal to terminal. Highly recommended. They keep their shine, and the velveteen stays soft and supple with regular wear in moderately nasty weather. Definitely an excellent shoe for work or play.
