Customer Reviews French Sole Sloop

I have 3 pairs of this style of shoe in black, brown, and leopard print. That should tell you how much I LOVE these shoes. I would advise buying a half size up. They are tight when you first put them on but conform to your foot very quickly so you won't spend the whole day suffering. I bought a pair a full size up, but they are a little loose. I can still wear them, but found 1/2 size to be perfect. They look great and I get compliments every time I wear them. I may have to buy a couple more pairs!

Haven't worn these out of the house, but when I tried them on last night, I was blown away by how comfortable they are. Looking forward to getting a full day of wear out of them.

I have high arches and normally have a very difficult time wearing flat flats. Having said that, these shoes are amazing. I can wear them all day and my feet never hurt. I honestly don't know how they do it, but bravo! Doesn't hurt that they are absolutely adorable as well. Great with pants, skirts, capris, jeans, on and on. They run 1 to 1 1/2 sizes small but so comfortable when you get the right size.

These are very comfy once you get the size right. They were a little tricky for me. They do stretch a good bit the more you wear them (suede). These look a little like a slipper, but cute nonetheless. Once broken in pretty comfy. They ran a bit short. I ordered a size and sent it back, one size up fits good...although now they are a little big since I have worn them often. Overall comfy shoe.

Very nice ballet flats! The leather felt so good, very soft. It did not require any breaking in. One thing to be aware of is that these shoes are much like slippers, meaning they feel soft and comfortable but also have very thin soles. I started feeling the pavement under my feet after extensive walking. It doesn't bother me because I go barefoot often, but I know people with thin feet will feel the ground. Definitely order a half size up. I normally wear an 8, but the 8.5 Sloop felt perfect. Sloop is more casual looking, looser fitting, and thinner than Zeppa in case you're comparing the two. Also, for people from wet places: I got the bronze suede, but the suede nap is not so thick that rain will completely ruin it. Of course, I wouldn't try to get these super wet.

I am generally a 7 or 7.5. A couple of years ago I ordered a red patent leather flat by Me Too called the Linda in a 7.5 and kept it but always regretted not exchanging it for the 7 as it was way too loose. So this time I ordered both sizes and returned the 7. If it weren't for other reviewers assurances that they will stretch, coupled with the fact that the shoes are not currently available in an 8 in leopard print, I might even return the 7.5 for an 8. I will keep my fingers crossed that they will stretch a bit with some wear, but so far I'm super excited to have this gorgeous shoe. Versatile print, soft (hopefully stretchy) fabric, great shape. What's not to love?

This is a great, comfortable ballet flat. Definitely go a half size up! I do feel like the back rubs my heel a little bit, but I have yet to form a blister from wearing these all day long. They're very cute and stylish. I recommend these and will be purchasing more colors in the future!

I've been searching for the perfect flat in black and I think this is it! Even though it's got a somewhat shiny finish, I love this shoe--supple leather, comfy and it fits my smallish foot well (I often wear a 5.5 but got the 6 and it's a perfect fit).

This shoe is so cute but too short and not wide enough for my bunion! And for the price I would want more support.

I really love these shoes. They look very cute and are very comfortable despite the lack of arch support (not that I was expecting arch support in this type of shoe anyway). I did not get any blisters or rubbing. I can wear them all day to the office without any problems. They really do feel like slippers. I ordered them half a size up, as everyone had recommended and they fit great. Also, this shoe does not show toe cleavage which makes this ballerina a must have for me.

As everyone says, order 1/2 size up. Make it a full size up if your feet are wide. Mine are slightly wide 8's and the 8.5 was just a little snug although fine in length. Break-in time is minimal and the lack of sweaty feet in sockless flats is a welcome bonus! I'm on my second pair -- I wore my first set into the ground over 2.5 years. Got lots of compliments, and they complemented EVERY outfit with their sleek profile and pretty material. If I had more money, I'd buy them in a bunch of colors :)

I was looking for a new ballet flat in some sort of print and the leopard print turned out to be the perfect answer. Like every other reviewer mentioned you should order half a size up. Sure this is a bit pricey given there is no arch support, but the design and sweat-free suede lining make up for it. Also to my surprise, the flat is much more of a skimmer than the photos display which made me very happy. And this looks great paired with ankle-length pants, skirts, and dresses.

I love these shoes! They are perfect for summer! They are light weight, comfy, your feet don't sweat if you wear without socks, the insoles don't come up. Yes, they are a bit pricey but for the comfort they rock! I have a bit of a wide foot and they fit great and no break in period needed. Oh, and the top part hits my foot in the perfect spot so it doesn't rub on my foot by my toe bone. You do need to order up a 1/2 size. The bronze color is a perfect neutral for summer. Depending on how the light hits them, they appear brown but have a gold glitter to them.

Loved these flats. They are really cute and go great with jeans. Felt true to size and great little shoe for going out.

These flats dress up a pair of jeans, look good with a short swingy skirt, and they feel like slippers. I find myself looking for clothes in my closet to match them. Great shoes! Go for the half size bigger if in doubt.

I love these shoes. I have 8 pairs of them!...in different colors. Two in the leopard since they go so well with anything! I usually wear an 8 but after the first pair I bought I realized 8.5 was better as they ran a little short. My foot is a little wider at the front but I have a narrow heel. They fit like a glove and are so comfy - not sloppy at all. I always get compliments when I wear them - which is almost every day! Cute cute with capris and jeans and even skirts and dresses. In the south we don't deal much with snow but I wear them winter and summer. the fabrics are soft and pliable - feel broken in the first day you wear them. I do recommend if you have a narrow foot to try your true size - I think my wide foot needed the extra half-size up. Zappos is great! Love Zappos! Especially when they notify me that a new style of Sloop is in stock! My latest is the Zebra and they are adorable! Thanks Zappos!

My new favorite ballet flat. I used to be devoted to Tory Burch's Reva flat but not anymore. This is the most comfortable ballet/skimmer I've ever worn. Runs a half size small. I normally wear an 8.5 but had to get a 9.

Love them! They are so comfortable - I wear them everywhere and when I need a new pair I plan to buy them again!

Although this shoe is very cute, it runs a 1/2 size too small. I am always a 6.5 but with this shoe I am a 7.

This is a great shoe for around the office or casual wear. It fits a half size small, but it feels just like a slipper. No arch support, like other ballet flats, but a great shoe. Very cute!

This is the best flat I have ever purchased. I listened to the demo and purchased a half size bigger, they were right! I also have flat feet and narrow ankles...which makes it hard for me to wear just any old shoe, but these are soft, breathable and not digging into the back of my heel and or thumb toe bone! I own the red suede and camouflage metallic leather. Love 'em! Wish I could afford to get them in every color! I did not purchase this shoe for arch support, so if that's what your looking for, then don't buy this beautiful and comfortable ballet flat!

Love this little ballet flat. Not a lot of arch support but very comfortable. Felt like it fit a little small in the length.

Super cute, love the metallic which looks great with jeans or with pants for work. Of course there is no support - it's a ballerina flat. I ordered a 7.5 (my normal size) and it feels a tiny little bite tight but I know it'll stretch so I'm sticking to my true size.
