Customer Reviews French Sole Sloop

Perfect for my purposes. Good looking low profile shoe.

very comfortable. Round toe has a bit of a squared look.

Loved these shoes. I wear a 9.5 which is what I ordered. However, they were short. Am considering ordering 1/2 size up.

Very cute shoe Was a little small

I usually wear a 6.5 and after I read all the reviews, that's what I ordered. They were way too small. I will return them. I loved them so much I am reordering in 7.

Beautiful, Quality Shoes!! Wanted desperately for these to work, unfortunately left shoe was sooo much tighter overall. Even knowing the gorgeous leather would stretch to conform to my feet, I was afraid the perfect fitting right shoe would stretch too much. I would gladly have tried a half size larger but the sizes jump from a ten to eleven without a 10 1/2 in between. :(

I really like these shoes. They are unusually comfortable. They are wide enough to wiggle my toes, but at the same time hug my feet perfectly as I walk. They could use a tad more support under the heel. I may try a small flat insert if I find it necessary or not. Great shoe!

after trying the 7.5 and the 8, i got the 8.5 in 4 colors!! so you know i love the shoe. i agree the arch support is missing but it's not a problem for me.

I really like this shoe and have purchased it in quite a few colors over a span of about 13 years. I still have my original pair that I now just wear around the house. I am nit sure they will ever wear out!!! I learned some years ago to order 1/2 size larger as FS/NY tends to run small in length. I love the ballet pink color I just ordered. PERFECT! The leather is soooo soft.

I loved these flats and was so sad when I had to toss my old pair (after 8 years of continuous use) that I went right back on to Zappos yesterday and ordered the same exact pair. I walked all through France and Spain (miles and miles... or rather, km and km) and they were so comfortable the whole time. I personally like the black patent leather - you can dress them up or down depending on what you wear with them. Love, love, love these flats!

These are incredibly well made shoes; the craftsmanship and quality is evident. I had to return them, though, due to the size. I typically wear size 9.5. I ordered a size 10. I could barely squeeze my foot into them; I would say they fit like a 9 or 8.5.

This is my second pair of Sloop Flats, the red is exactly as bright as in the picture (the blue suede ones are much much fadded than the photo, almost a greish light blue). I think that the advice to buy half size up is correct. I am 38EU, that is 7US. I bought 7.5 and they fit. It is not a question of them beign on the tight side. 7US would not fit you lenghtwise, even if the suede will loose in time! I don't find them that difficult to break either.

I admired these shoes for a couple of years before deciding to give them a go. I hesitated because of the sizing issue and the mixed reviews in this respect. I live in Ireland and returning the shoes would have been difficult to arrange and expensive. So I just followed the universal advice and bought half size larger. I am a true 7 size, I bought 7.5, THEY FIT. Nice baller flats are very rare, so it is good that they keep making these. This is the beginning of a beautiful frienship, as I planned to get them in different colours.

The shoe does run half size smaller so order half size bigger. That being said these are the most comfortable shoes. I have extreme hammer toes and these shoes feel like slippers

Great quality.

Perfect flat. I have purchased before. I am a 6 1/2 but get a 7.

Gorgeous shoes but WAAAY too small and narrow. They don't have wider ones so back they go. Too bad!

These are gorgeous but they are really small and narrow.

Loved my original French Sole but these are too narrow and not comfortable even though I ordered a size up.

I wear a size 10 and had to purchase a full size up. The seam around the top of the shoe was still quite tight in several places, so I broke them in with a few layers of moleskin on the tight spots. It only took a few wears, and I think they’re going to be quite comfortable!

I love this flat - great for work or short walks but is not built for long distance. You have to order a full size up. I am 7.5 and order 8.5 no need breaking in and I own several colors.

These are beautiful shoes and just what I wanted, however the sizing did not work for me and Zappos doesn't have the size I need. I am a reliable size 10 with long toes and a somewhat narrow, low volume foot. I ordered my true size based on the reviews which indicate that this should should be stretched to fit. Thanks to the soft, minimalist construction of this shoe, I am able to get my foot into it, but it seems extraordinarily unlikely that I would ever be able to stretch it enough for comfort. I ended up buying a barely worn size 11 on ebay to see how the break in goes, before committing to a smaller size at full retail. Nonetheless, these are fabulous shoes for anyone wanting a minimal flat, and I recommend taking the effort to find your correct size. The Pewter Nappa is beautiful and shiny, but not quite as glossy as the stock photos suggest.

Beautiful soft leather but they were a whole size too small.

I love these shoes. This is my second pair; I had my first pair for over two years but accidentally spilled bleach on them so I had to get a replacement... had I not goofed I'm sure I could have squeezed another two years of wear out of that first pair! Definitely order at least a half size down on these because they will stretch and mold to your feet and end up fitting like a second skin.

These are so cute and the color is awesome. I have wide feet so I was worried after reading other reviews, but I did not have any problems with fit. I do agree - this is a ballet slipper with no support, but I've worn them all day wth no problems and I am fairly flat footed.
