Listen to all of the other reviews and order a size up if you have a wider foot! I ordered my regular size in the orange tie dye and a size up in the camouflage. I had to exchange the pair that I ordered in my size. The size up, however, are super comfortable. The first day, I walked a lot for work and then wore them to the airport, where I did even more walking, they did not rub at all (even with my big feet). There is also a little padding in the sole of the shoe, so they don't feel as flat to the ground as other ballet flats. I love the fun color/patterns they come in. I already bought two pairs, but might go for a third! Definitely one of my new favorite finds!

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.

Cute and comfortable, but runs small. I wear a 6.5 or 7, ordered a 7, and returned it. It was "too perfect," and unless it stretched quite a bit, would be uncomfortable.

These shoes are lovely. However, I read other reviews advising to get a larger size. These shoes stretch terribly! I should have stayed with the 7 I initially ordered. The 7 1/2 stretched out very soon and are now too big to wear.

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 :)

These are super cute, but very delicate flats. Be prepared, they are super flat, so I wouldn't recommend wearing them for long periods of time. Make sure to order at least one half size up from your regular size. I wound up ordering one full size, as my feet are a tad on the wide side. They are very classic and work well with jeans, slacks, dresses, skirts, capris, etc. They have a squishy sole that also molds to your foot, but not a whole lot of arch support. The material is very nice, too!

Nice colors but they are homely on the foot. Slippers look better. So these are going back. Turquoise is the proper color rather than the other I got. But, they are just not nice looking.

I got the Zebra Suede flats and I am not sure I have ever loved a pair of shoes more. They are super comfy and ridiculously cute. But, I did order a 1/2 size larger than marked per the advice in these reviews and I'm very glad I did - I'm usually a 7 and a 7.5 is a very snug fit.

These cutesy little shoes run small so be sure to go up a half size. I wanted these to be my favorite flats but while they're very comfortable after only a few weeks they're losing their shape and look dingy. Shop on friends!

This is my 2nd pair of French Soles and I love them. The color is so unique and I love when the sun hits them. One thing about these shoes is that overtime, the insoles slide off and I usually hot glue them back in. Kind of a pain, but worth it for these comfy shoes!

These run really small. I held them against another pair of shoes, supposedly the same size, and there was nearly an inch difference! Darling shoes, but order up!

Great shoe, very comfortable. I usually wear a 7.5, tried the 8 based on the reviews, and had to exchange for the 8.5. I love these shoes, bought the black leather, about to order another pair in brown.

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, but had to re-order in a larger size. I'm a pretty consistent 8.5, ordered a 9, but really need a 9.5, so one full size up. They were very comfy and can't wait to get the bigger size! Also, the white metallic suede color is a bit lighter that in the picture, you can definitely see the white, and I wanted more of a neutral gold.

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

These are wide and feel about 1/2 size smaller than marked. Like the fabric.

While most reviews were positive, I noticed one that mentioned the heel height where the shoe cuts into the ankle bone... sure enough, that was the case for me, so I had to return them. But otherwise, they look great and seem well made - guess it just depends on your feet. I have a narrow-ish ankle, size 8.5 - ordered a 9 and length was fine, just hurt the skin above my heel. Kept a pair of Me Too flats instead that had more cushion.

Very cute! I really wanted to keep the shoe, but it seems to be a size smaller than marked. So, order up!

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, they are pretty and comfy, just not for long walks since they won't last. They have no heels at all, the leather part of the shoe gets damaged rather quickly. I'm on my second pair, still like those a lot, just use them for short distances and to look pretty.

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!

This shoe runs very small. I am a 10.5 and always buy an 11 (which is usually just a little too big, but still wearable). I purchased this in an 11 and it is too small! I would say it is more like a 10. Ladies, I recommend that you buy a full size larger than you normally wear. I would have exchanged it for a 12, but they are sold out. Not surprised at all.

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.
