Customer Reviews French Sole Sloop

I usually love this shoe but when I purchased a new pair (in the size I usually get), the shoes felt too small. I know my foot didn’t grow so something in the cut of this shoe changed. Trying to size up a half-size to see if that helps. (I usually take a 6 in shoes and I ordered a 7 in these-like always, but it’s still too small ). Hoping the 7.5 fits!

Beautiful shoe that feels too tight, but the foot bed is definitely the right size, so I'm taking the chance that it will form to my foot like its supposed to. Worn once for 1/2 hour so far (around the house) and they do seem to be stretching. Another advantage, no toe cleavage, even with my rather long ones.

I have purchased several of the FS Sloop style over the years (Black suede numerous times, red twice). This suede in this pair seemed to be of lesser quality and ran noticeably smaller. Disappointed they must be returned.

LOVE the color and style, but the sizing is way too small. I also fear that trying a whole size larger won't feel quite right. I just left as 5 stars because I can't give a true rating without trying a different size.

So disappointed. When these shoes arrived it was clear that they had been worn. Dirty footbed, one shoe stretched, the other not. Not packed, just one shoe stuffed with an off color wrap, only in toe area, the wrapping paper crinkled. I'll bet they were a return and no one checked the packing out. QA asleep on the job.Who knows about the fit! They're just going back.

I read other reviews and they said size up a half size, so I did. These were absurdly small. I generally wear a 7 or a 71/2; the size 8 fit me like a size 6, maybe smaller. I don’t know how to advise anyone on what size to order. I won’t be reordering in any size.

Fit way too small to even get on.

Runs really small.

I had been eyeing these for so long and finally sprung for them. I read that they stretch to fit you eventually so I ordered a 7...too small so I exchanged for a 7.5 which didn't seem much different. I have pretty flat feet and I could hardly get my foot in to these...the shoe was so tight on the tops of my feet that it was literally painful to wear them and I could hardly walk. I tried wearing them in my house for a bit thinking they would start to soften and stretch, but no luck. Maybe I just don't like a rounded toe, but these definitely weren't a flattering look...kind of lifeless and sloppy looking.

This is a beautiful shoe but the reviews I read before purchasing it were all over the map so I went with the size I normally wear. Way too small!! Darn.

These are lovely flats. They run very small, maybe as much as a full size.

These were cute, but not very true to size.

Extremely narrow! The suede seems to be of a good quality, but no arc support, and they are completely flat. Returning.

This a good quality shoe. I recommend sizing up one half size.

Really small. Mismarked? Returned. Cute, but too expensive to reorder.

tight fit

Amazing!! As other reviews said, super uncomfortable right out of the box, and felt too tight. Within an hour they were already molding to my feet and are so comfy. They're beautiful shoes and I'm so glad I tried them!

no support. Sides gape, showing cream interior. Not comfortable

These shoes were way too small even though I ordered my correct size. I returned them. Order larger size if your feet are wide.

Would have loved to have been able to keep this shoe. However, couldn't get them on without a struggle, and feared they would bind at the toe joint even if they eventually stretched. These shoes are a European 42; more like an 11 or 11.5. I wish there were a 43.

These run a full 1/2 small. I usually wear a 5.5 to 6, and could not get the 6 on my foot.

Beautiful shoes that I wanted so much. I tried both my usual size and a half size bigger. Both were too narrow. Other reviewers said that the leather of these shoes stretches and conforms to the shape of your foot, but there's no use in my waiting for that, when the bones of my foot are wider than the sole.

Not sure what has changed at FSNY. I have successfully worn this brand for 5 years. Ordered two pair in the same size I have always worn and both are too small.

Not as comfortable as I expected from all of the reviews - no support or cushioning. Toe scuffed on very first wear plus more over time :( for this much $$ that is not acceptable

Love the shoe, but it says order a half size up, and I need a whole size up.
