Customer Reviews French Sole Sloop

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.

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.

Runs really small.

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!

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

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

Well made with beautiful Italian leather. Nice large toe box. Very flexible sole. The only thing is deciding if the seam around where the foot slides in will loosen enough to not push into the skin so much? Other than that they are pretty ballet flat.

Stylish and comfy!

These are the best! I bought my first pair in 2008 for a trip to Asia. I wore them non stop and just finally decided it was time to get a new pair. They are comfortable walking shoes when you want to look a little put together- but also great day to day flat. the inside is all real leather so they breathe like a dream- no sweaty feet in summer! They should be super tight when you first put them on. wear them for short bits until they stretch out .... then once they are broken in you are good to go for years. Think like a ballet slipper that is crazy tight at first and then the leather stretches out to mold to your foot. I can't even believe the miles i have put on these- while I love them at home and on weekends I also have utilized them like mad when we have traveled because they go with everything and dress up or down perfectly. Of course we do tons of walking when we travel and these were my go to. I like the patent leather black and repurchased that same one due to its go with everything appeal. Im not a huge fan of the suede look so the patent suited me. I have an expensive pair of gorgeous Tory Burch flats that have not seen the light of day since I found these guys. buy them tight and enjoy! worth every penny!

Great quality shoe but these run very narrow.

I got the sand color; the black sole on such a light show is odd but I actually like the look it sort of grounds the shoe and keeps it from looking like a slipper. These are very sleek and even elegant looking for what they are - none of the slumps look many typical ballet flats can have, very slim to the foot. The footbed isn't especially padded but it's substantial enough to be quite comfortable. My feet are more on the narrow side (although not enough to need an A width) and I bought my normal size (10). They were slightly short at the heel until I wore them a few hours and now are perfect. Because they stretch I am not sure sizing up is good advice - maybe if your feet are wider.

Run small. Poor construction. Not worth the [price

Having danced for about a decade myself, I agree with the reviews from the dancers: These are essentially ballet slippers with a slight rubber sole. Order your true size and they WILL be tight the first day or two, but then they mold to your feet and feel like you aren't wearing anything at all. This is great for people who are comfortable walking barefoot (but if you need arch support, you won't find it here). I wore these into the ground on a month-long trip to Europe, and they were durable enough to keep going for about a year before I had to replace - they would have probably lasted even longer had I not gotten the suede, and hadn't been hit with so many unexpected rain showers (they can take a little water, but too many soaks isn't great for the leather...). They are very well made and I would imagine they would last many years if you didn't abuse your feet so much.

I read reviews but shoe was at least half size too short.

These are cute but run a bit small. I usually take a 6.5. Need a 7 in these.

I love these shoes! I wear a Euro size 41, in US I go between 9.5 and 10 (rarely 10.5 but it happens). I got these in a 10, they were super tight at first try but just tight, my toes weren't squished or bent. Keeping the dancer lady's review in mind, I wore them around the house and decided to see it through. After one day of walking around they now fit my foot like a glove and haven't taken them off since. Mine are the brown suede and I don't know if that aided in conforming to my foot so quickly and easily but it seems like the super soft material might be a factor. Whatever, they're super and I'm getting them in black too!

I love these shoes. I have been wearing them for 5+ years. I am buying additional pairs because they are my sigature shoe and I don't want to be without. However there must have been a sizing change. My normal size8 was like a childs shoe. I tried 8.5 still too tight. 9 fits. I am relieved. Hopefully they will not stretch out as other reviews have said Before I stock up I will wear these new ones for awhile and then decide if buying 9 is best.

very cute shoe, not for a lot of walking.

I ordered these ballet flats in the Black Nappa Leather a half size larger than my usual shoe size. These fit great! They are extremely soft and very comfortable. I have been looking for a flat that worked with my retro 1950's looks. These fit the bill quite nicely. I am truly pleased with my purchase and look forward to buying my second pair.

The best, most comfortable shoe ever.

Love these shoes. I am normally a 7.5, but when I tried them on, they were tight across the top of my foot to the point that they left a mark. I tried the size 8s, very comfortable, and visually they looked identical to the 7.5s. After wearing each around the house, the 8s ended up being a tad loose and the 7.5s ended up loosening out a bit. Overall, true to size (after a little bit of wear!). Very well made. Great purchase!

These are my favorite ballet flats! They are so comfortable. They fit my foot like a glove. I love the color and style.

These shoes are so comfortable! Unfortunately I recently had bunion surgery and the top of the shoe rubs the scar-which is only two months old and very tender. I have to return them-maybe I will be able to buy them again in the future.

These are super comfortable, and super cute! Needed a new pair of shoes for a trip, one that would be comfortable enough to walk around in all day, and stylish enough to meet clients, go out to dinner, and give presentations in a formal work environment. These fit the bill perfectly. Am ordering these in other color options.
