Customer Reviews French Sole Sloop

Loved the comfort and look of this shoe. But I was totally disappointed to see what I'd call toe marks across the top within three times of wearing them. Now they look pretty bad. I wouldn't spend the money again.

I ordered these shoes in size 10 they are 1/2" shorter than every other size 10 shoe I own; even shorter than my 9.5's. At least 2 full sizes smaller than marked. Impossible to wear comfortably. Also, the sole -- inside and out -- is totally flat. No support anywhere. These are going back.

I ordered these in a 7.5, which is my usual size. They fit well at first, but after just a couple of times the suede stretched out and now they are much too big! I love the color, but the toe box is almost baggy on my foot now.

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.

These are very soft and comfortable overall but I returned them because the back rides up very high on my heel and I knew it would cause blisters.

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!

A well-made shoe. I buy a closed shoe 1/2 size larger. These do run very short, and I wound up buying one full size larger.

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!

I didn't realize the batik pattern was actually made of suede. These shoes had no support or cushioning and put weird pressure on my feet.

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.

Shoe is comfortable and flexible but the sole could offer more support. Nice, simple style. Recommended to order a 1/2 size larger than normal shoe size and that was accurate.

I have the Sloop in several colors. I wear them with straight leg jeans and khakis in the winter and short shorts in the summer. My favorite shoe. Very Audrey/Bardot. Very pricey for what they are but I think that they are special so I pay it. No support but they look terrific and very French, almost like walking barefoot.

So cute! But cut very small. I would need a size up to wear.

I purchased these shoes in an 8 1/2 that fit me but were scuffed up so these were the replacement pair. I assumed they would fit but when I put them on they were really small. Possibly mislabeled size? I normally wear an 8 so these shoes do run really small.

Great flats! I own other pairs of French Sole Sloops. These have better soles and a separate heel piece - all improvements. The bronze color is beautiful and goes with everything. As with all French Sole Sloops, be sure to order a size up from your regular size. I wear an 8.5 and in these shoes I wear a 9.

I bought the red Sloop two sizes larger and absolutely adore them. I have the brown and salmon and am waiting for the black. It is my absolute favorite shoe but it does run small and in my opinion none of them fit exactly the same.

I must have ordered over 15 pairs of flats last summer before finally getting these. They are very comfortable, however I am not sure of the quality. I have worn them three times, and the back of the shoe is not black anymore. It must be from driving a stick. However, this should not happen with a pair of shoes which cost this much, especially because my drive to and from work is not too long. Overall, I love the fit but am unhappy with the quality.

So far I am a bit disappointed with this shoe. There is very little cushion in the sole, and the back of the heel digs in, which is of course painful. I expect this to soften in time, especially if I break them in with socks. I also failed to notice the tag that sticks out of the back of the shoe, which makes them look cheaper. This may still turn out to be a decent shoe, but just not as happy at first as I would like.

The shoes were comfy right away but just too "cheap" for the price -- flimsy, poorly fitting, etc. I am returning them.

Love these shoes. Great to slip into and they felt true to my normal size. Of course, Zappos had them on my doorstep within 36 hours of receiving my order. Love Zappos and these shoes!
