Customer Reviews French Sole Sloop

I really liked the look of this flat. I have a larger foot- size 9 1/2 and I got a size 10. It fit perfectly after 2 wears and looks great. It really makes my foot look smaller!!

Super cute and flattering shoe!! However, I agree with many other reviewers in that (1) you need to go up half a size, and (2) the sole is not very substantial at all! The upper feels very well made, and the shoes were comfortable right out of the box, but I'm going to need a cushioning insert if I'm going to wear them for more than a couple of hours. There's almost nothing between you and the floor: no arch support, no cushioning. They are exactly what I wanted in terms of looks, and if these hold up I'll buy more, but beware, they are pricey for what you get.

Great little casual shoe, they feel really well-made and comfortable. Definitely order up a half size. Highly recommend.

I bought these in the black shiny leather and have worn them 3-4 times. They look cute on, and there's more toe coverage than many ballet flats, but they really do not have any arch support. The sole is thick enough so I don't feel every pebble, but I won't wear them for long walks or if I'll be standing for hours. They've stretched a bit but not to affect the fit. I'm not sure I think they are worth the price yet.

These ballet flats are really comfortable and nicely made. They do run a bit wide, however, so if you have a narrow foot, just keep that in mind. I may need to put a foot pad in them.

Excellent ballet flat. Love them so much I got them in black patent and the red suede. They do run small, so I went half a size up. They are very much like a real ballet shoe, so if you are looking for lots of cushion, padding, and arch support, this is not the shoe for you.

These are the worst shoes ever! I would give them zero stars if that was an option. I cannot believe how much they are charging! At first I thought they were cute, but I had to throw the pair away after wearing them on and off for only a few weeks! They completely fell apart inside and out, the cheap inner and outer sole plus the leather upper stretched and ruined itself after only a few days. These are terrible quality. Get Born or Frye ballet style shoes instead.

I love these shoes and have a pair in red. They fit like a ballet shoe, part of your foot. I'm hard on shoes so tread lightly since the sole is so thin. This shoe would be perfect if the sole was just a little thicker.

At first very tight and uncomfortable but once you break them they are fabulous. I would suggest ordering one size up. Very cute shoe (makes feet look small), received loads of compliments.

I got a half size up (as the other reviewers suggested) but after wearing them once, I'm sorry I did. Feels true to size. The front edge cuts into my foot a bit. Honestly, I'm sorry I didn't go for a cheaper shoe. They're fine, but just that. Fine.

This shoe runs 1/2 size small. Now the size I need isn't available. Boo hoo.

These shoes are so ugly. I cannot imagine why they got such great reviews, other than the fact that Toms style shoes are so popular now. The shape of the vamp looks a lot like Toms, and that is definitely not what I was looking for. They are very comfortable, though, so if that is what you like, you will probably like it.

Love these shoes; they're super cute! But they're not very sturdy...the soles came loose the first time I wore them, and now they stick to the bottoms of my feet. So while I do love them, I'm guessing they won't be around for long.

I ordered these in orange batik/tie dye and they are lovely! After reading several of the reviews I decided to order one full size up, as I have wide feet. Fit well, there was some rubbing on the back heel/wore them all day and walked quite a bit in them.

This is a very nicely made flat. I did purchase some gel heel cushions to insert because I did have some rubbing on my heels.

Love them but ordered a half size larger based on reviews and they were too big. Reordering smaller size.

Cute shoes...I got these for work, and have been very happy with them.

I double checked my order, and have had 2 pairs of these for less than a year. I read all the reviews and ordered a half size larger 7.5, and normally wear a 7. When I first got these in November 2010, they were tight and felt like a 7...now they have stretched out so much (at least 1 size larger if not more), are way too big, that I can no longer wear them since they flop off my feet. I am very disappointed since I've been lucky to wear them maybe 7-8 months tops...since I did not wear them in the dead of winter here in the NorthEast. Needless to say, I have 2 pairs to toss away, and now need to find replacements.

This is a very pretty shoe that I was surprised to find is also very comfortable. I work them to work the first day and took some bandaids with me just in case, but never needed them.

Very cute shoe. Simple and stylish and will look cute with jeans this fall. I agree with the other reviews, this definitely run small. I ordered a 7.5 (normally a 7) and they were still just a teeny bit tight.

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).

I am a dancer and hope to clarify some fitting questions about these lovely shoes. They are built like a literal ballet slipper, meant to wear like a little leather sock, but in this case the sole is rubber instead of suede, and the whole shoe is made to withstand more than a few rehearsals. The stretching and toe bumps are the result of the shoe's ability to conform precisely to your foot and the way you move, very like a dancer's shoe. The break-in time happens quickly in these shoes because a dance shoe needs to be usable right away, and the less it keeps its shape and takes on yours, the better. If you are narrow-footed, get your true size. I have long, narrow slippers that run between a 9½ and 10½ (with a half-size difference from one foot to the other), and am frankly astounded by the perfect fit of size 10 after only a day or so of wear. I have three pairs and wear them everywhere, including onstage. It is hard to choose, but my white naplaks are my favorites and I like patent leather that feels like it has been broken-in better than your favorite sneakers. They can take a little more wet weather, too. I live in my Sloops and now suffer less from awful foot cramps because my foot is not fighting a shoe when I walk. These are made to become uniquely yours as you wear them. I would not trade mine for anything!

These are fashionable little flats. The color goes with loads of motifs, and they are super comfortable. My only complaint is that they are a little pricey for flats, and you definitely feel low to the ground when you wear them. I travel with them and pop them in my bag to switch out with heels without sacrificing my look!

Great little flat with jeans. Very comfortable even though there is not a lot of arch support. The materials used bt FSNY are really fun!

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