Customer Reviews French Sole Sloop

French Sole Sloop - I absolutely love this shoe, the color red goes with everything, and the fit is small, order one size up. I wear them all day and am on my feet, they are extremely comfortable. I wear them casual and dress, they are my favorite. I love the red so much I am thinking of buying a pair to keep when these wear out.

My new favorite shoes - I love these shoes. I was a little leery to order because of the price. Now that I have them, I would buy any color they had in my size. Unfortunately, I wear a size 12 and that was the only pair. One of the reasons I like them so much is that they make my big feet actually look cute (if that's even possible). They fit great despite other reports that they run small. Perhaps it's because I am used to wearing shoes that are too small, but I find them quite comfortable.

Best flat ever - I have owned a lot of flats and they all gapped and caused blisters. First time on and I walked all day with no problems!! They fit like ballet slippers so make sure they are snug, but order 1/2 size up like the other reviews. I found this brand in the book 101 Things to Buy Before You Die and they were right!!! I am buying my 3rd pair and will definitely get more.

Comfortable - Sloop is an excellent shoe made of quality materials. Received many compliments on looks. Runs small requires 1/2 size larger than normal size. Would like a pair in every color.

The Perfect Black Flats - I love, love these shoes. Most flats take a few wears to break them in, but these fit perfectly and were comfortable the first time I wore them. Order a half size up.

Buy a bigger size than you normally would! My Sloops arrived at my door in LESS THAN A DAY after I ordered them (love, love ZAPPOS!) and the closest size they had in the zebra print which I really wanted was an 8 1/2 (I usually wear 7 1/2 and sometimes 8). After reading many reviews stating to buy a 1/2 size bigger I thought I'd try the 8 1/2. THEY FIT PERFECTLY. I have never worn an 8 1/2 in my life - the largest I've ever needed was an 8. These shoes are so cute and I highly recommend them with jeans, skirt, almost anything. Definitely buy a bigger size than you would normally wear.

These are the best flats I have ever owned! I had to order a whole size up, but they are fit wonderfully and are super cute. I bought the pewter color because the silver was a little too light and seemed like it would get dirty easily. The quality on these is excellent compared to my other (non Sloop) flats. If Zappos gets the black in stock in my size, I'll definitely buy another pair!

Comfy Like a Slipper - I have a high arch and a narrow heal. These shoes are comfy straight out of the box. I just ordered another pair. Order a half size up, I was a 7.5 and the 8 fit perfect. The colors are true to what's shown. I got the red and will get the purple. The photo where it looks like the sides are 'wavy' iron out when you put them on, thought they'd be too wide, but they're perfect.

Love it! Definitely order a half-size up but these shoes are great! I ordered the zebra print and they are adorable! I can't wait to order another pair!

French Sole Sloop!!! I LOVE these little flats. They are so graceful looking on my feet and cute with jeans or a skirt. I got them in two colors. Here is the deal though...order one whole size up, and then, if you can or if they stretch, put a Dr. Scholl's inner sole in them. They are flats with absolutely no support so by adding an inner sole, you end up with a cute comfy shoe. I wore them all day right out of the box.

Best flats I've ever owned - I've had these flats almost two years now...When I bought them, I was very concerned about the price, but they were the only black flats that looked JUST the way I wanted. These shoes DO run small and they DO require a break-in period! I would NOT recommend purchasing these for immediate heavy wear. If you need a pair of flats for a long-term relationship and have the time to break them in a bit slowly, you should be fine. They were very snug when they first arrived, even though I ordered a half-size up. I wore them around the house with a pair of medium thickness socks for about a week before wearing them barefoot for a full day at work. The first month or so they had tight spots here and there, but for most of the last two years I've had no complaints. I spray the suede regularly to keep it dark and protected. They have completely conformed to the shape of my foot and now fit like a glove. I took them to a shoe repair place a couple of months ago to replace the insoles and put a few stitches back in the bottom of each heel where they had worn the most. These still have plenty of wear left -- good because they go with EVERYTHING. If I had the extra cash to toss around, I would certainly buy these in brown and probably red or blue as well. Versatile, comfortable (after break in) and very classy.

:) These are my fifth pair of Sloops. They're the most comfortable flats for the price, and they feel like slippers on. The lighter colors tend to get dirty fast with regular wear, but if you only wear them once in a while and try not to get them dirty they'll be fine.

Very Pretty Little Shoe - I am very happy with these shoes! After reading all reviews I decided to order a half size up. I usually wear an 8 1/2 or a 9 so I ordered a 9. After a few days of breaking them in they feel great. I would definitely recommend these shoes as a simple, fashionable, easy to wear shoe for all occasions. One caution, those of you with bunions may not be as satisfied because of where the shoe hits the big toe. However, with Zappos wonderful return policy it never hurts to try!

Cute, but a little "tight" - Very cute shoes, I got the zebra print. For some reason I thought it would be white and black as opposed to cream and black, but still very cute. Shoes fit snug, but not uncomfortably so. I am pretty sure after I wear them they will stretch to fit my foot perfectly. Very cute shoe!

Beautiful Shoe - This is a beautiful and classic flat shoe. Buy a larger size than you normally wear because it is cut very small. I normally wear an 8 1/2. I ordered a 9 since I planned to wear this shoe without socks. The 9 was too small so I gave them to my daughter and ordered a 9 1/2 and that fit wonderfully. Very comfortable and looks great with skirts or jeans.

Buy them - These shoes are darling. They do run slightly small, so go up a half size!

Love it in leopard - I ordered this flat in the leopard print after doing a lot of research. They are so cute and go with practically everything. I wear them all the time! I usually wear a 9.5 and ended up with a 10 in this shoe. Originally I had ordered a 9, but Zappos' exchange policy is so amazing, I was easily able to exchange it for a different size.

Love them. I have the hardest time finding shoes. I have a short wide foot with a skinny heel. These work great! I felt they were true to size unlike any other. They were a little tight at first but then stretched out and fit great after first wear. They go with everything. Have since ordered 4 more colors and want them all.

Need some red ones - They do stretch out, you still need to buy a size up, but the tightness across the top loosens up. Back for a pair of red suede ones. The leopard print is now my favorite pair of shoes!

Not for those with bunions - Cute as anything, absolutely order a size up. However, if you have bunions, they cut across in exactly the wrong place. Trying my shoe stretchers with them, since I really like them and would like to keep them. Of course, if I stretch them out I guess I'll have to. Rather odd they should run so small; I have others of this brand that are true to size.

Great Shoe - This beautiful shoe is worth having in several colors. I have the black suede and the leopard print. I am going return the violet suede---not because I don't like it, but because it isn't significantly different from the black suede, and I would rather spend my shoe budget on something else. Zappos generous return policy helps me build the best shoe wardrobe for me. This shoe runs a full size smaller than marked. I had to order size 10 rather than my normal size 9.

Very comfortable - I ordered an 8.5 and I normally wear a size 8, they fit perfectly and are very comfortable. Definitely a great weekend/casual shoe!!
