Customer Reviews French Sole Sloop

Such a cute shoe. Too bad it's too wide. I have somewhat narrow feet, but usually standard widths fit me fine. These are just too wide. Also, as said in other reviews, they really feel like a slipper and not necessarily a shoe with the kind of support I would want if I was walking around in them all day.

A great shoe, I have received several compliments on them. I wish I had ordered my true size, not 1/2 size larger. They seemed to have stretched out a bit since I bought them.

I bought these shoes because the reviews were good, and I was looking for a good pair of flats. I got them in my normal size, and admittedly they were a bit tight when I first got them, but after about a week they were stretched out a bit, and really comfortable. I am a ballet flats queen, and I wore my last pair of ballet flats 3-4 days a week all day. They were made of cloth, cost me $30, and held up for nearly 3 years. I bought these shoes 4 months ago, and already the upper part of the shoe has unattached from the sole. I feel obligated to wear them since I paid so much for them, but I must admit I was disappointed in the quality, and I am back in the market for a good pair of black flats.

Cute flat shoe. Sloop is almost like a slipper, so if your looking for support to wear these all day you might be disappointed. \r\n\r\nI ordered 1/2 size up and it fit snug but after a few hours wear it now is perfect. \r\n\r\nI did order 2 other pairs of Sloop, both in the same size and each pair fit a little differently. I needed to return one pair because it was to big.\r\n\r\nCare should be taken if you are wearing it outdoors. The shoe has very little sole and easily picks up dirt.\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

Perfect fit! They are the cutest, most comfortable flats ever. They're simple, but I wear them with just about everything. It took about 1 week to break them in, now they fit like household slippers. I've gotten them for my sisters as birthday presents. Would recommend, for those looking for everyday flats, to run errands in, run about with the kids, or even for casual work place.

I ordered these shoes up 1/2 size like the previous reviews recommended, however, they were tight across the top of the foot. So I sent them back and ordered up another 1/2 size and they were still tight across the top of the foot. Other than that, the shoes were very soft and comfy, but I was afraid they’d be too big if I ordered another 1/2 size larger, so those went back, too!

These shoes are beautiful! The prettiest shade of green that I\'ve been searching for all season, and the fit is perfect. I went one half-size up from my normal size and they fit like a glove: no break-in necessary.

Because the shoe fabric is soft it fits smaller; my usual correct size was gaping at the sides on my foot. The smaller size fits like a glove with no pressure points.

I love these shoes so much I own them in three colors: black, brown and red.They are super comfortable from the first wear and I have only had minor rubbing/blister issues. They break in quickly and feel like slippers. They do stretch a bit so it would be advisable to order a 1/2 size down. I am pretty brutal to my feet, living in flats, chucks or 4 inch heels, so I don't mind that these have very little padding. If you have sensitive feet and/or plan to walk long distances in these shoes, I would recommend some sort of insert.

I have been looking for a pair of flats for a long time and have finally some that look cute and are comfortable. I have wide feet and these look and feel great. My only complaint is lack of arch support, but I guess this is expected with a flat shoe such as this.

I just love these shoes! So cute, so comfortable and they go with any outfit. No blisters or achy feet, like with most other flats. This is the second pair I've purchased; I'd love a pair in each color. They tend to run about a size small, so be sure to buy the next full size. I also used Dr. Scholl's inserts to add some cushion to the shoe. It's worth the extra money if you're going to invest in the shoes. I also used a suede protection before wearing them, just to be safe on rainy days. Great shoes, worth the money!

These shoes are cute and relatively comfortable. They run a little short, but I don\'t think I could have gone up a half size - so, I\'m hoping they will stretch a tiny bit. \r\n\r\nBecause they are so soft and flexible, they\'re not supportive (less than some flip-flops), and they don\'t offer a very polished look. For someone with wide feet - they are more comfortable than many ballet flats, but not the most flattering (I think they make the foot look wider than it is).\r\n\r\nOverall, I\'m happy with them - but will not be ordering them in other colors.

I bought two pairs of this shoe a couple of weeks apart. The first pair fits perfect. The second pair is at least a half size smaller than the first. I kept it anyway thinking maybe it just needed to stretch out, but even after much wear the second pair did not stretch out. These shoes are very nice looking and I get many compliments. There is zero support, very much like walking barefoot. Also the sole is so smooth that I slipped on a metal plate on the sidewalk. So overall, very attractive, size varies and runs small, comfortable; but with little support, zero grip.

Had to order a 1/2 size larger. Super comfortable, except for no arch support, and little cushioning. No break-in required. Might have to get a second pair!

While I love French Sole shoes, the Sloop is not my favorite. I ordered 2 sizes larger than normal (you need to do this with French Soles), and they were still tight. Since I have a wide foot, the shoe just wasn't attractive since the sides of my feet showed. Not the best for wide feet; try Zeppa, much better fit.

I ordered 2 pairs of FS Sloop this year, one leopard and one zebra. I had found in the past that I had to get a 7 1/2 instead of my usual size 7 in the Sloop style. For some reason, the leopard was much wider than the zebra. Fortunately, they fit my daughter, so I gave them to her. She rated them 5 stars.

Great little shoe! Comfy and classy! I bought a half size larger than usual so be aware that they run a bit small. They offer very little support which is fine for me because my job requires alot of chair time!

I normally wear a 7 - 7.5 but had to get a size 8. No matter what other reviews said about the shoe stretching, the 7.5 was tight enough so that my big toes made a bump across the front of the shoe. I did not want only that part of the shoe to stretch so I went for the 8. After a few wears the shoe is comfortably loose but not loose enough to fall off my heels as I walk.It seems like a shoe this "minimalist" should have been cheaper but seeing that I have never found a shoe this simple and this comfortable for casual walking, I am happy to pay the price. I hope it lasts!

Runs really small. Order a full size up. Even a full size up, I thought the heel rubbed and think it would blister. Cute though!

I usually wear a size 8 or 8 1/2 and ordered the silver in 8 and the black patent in an 8 1/2 but was surprised to find that both were way too small. The shoes are cute, but not so amazing that I would try a yet larger size. Based on how small the 8 1/2 was, I'm guessing I would have to order a 9 1/2 in order for the shoe to be comfortable.

Amazing shoes; I wear it all the time. I bought the black suede and it goes with everything. Do not buy half a size up because the shoes stretch and form to your feet after you wear them a few times. Completely worth the price.

I have been searching for the perfect pair of goes-with-everything ballet flats for months, but refused to buy fake leather, like so many of the cute shoes out there are. I read the reviews of the French Sole Sloop, but still waited for weeks before buying due to the price, and they looked a bit cheap in the photos. What a mistake! I wish I had bought these sooner. They are extremely well made, the leather is buttery soft and they are a classic, simple design. I normally wear an 8 1/2 - 9. I bought a size 9 in these and they\'re perfect. I, unlike many other reviewers, am actually a fan of toe cleavage, but I don\'t mind that these don\'t show any because they are so comfortable. I will definitely buy more colors, now that I know what I\'m getting into!

This is a very comfy simple flat which could go dressy or very casual. However, it doesn't provide any support so I would not plan on wearing it for standing all day or tons of walking. It is a great shoe to have for travel. I will probably order in another color. It seems to run fairly true to size but slightly wide for my narrow foot.

I find these to be very comfortable and stylish. I bought the red and just love them. I ordered my size and they were a little snug so I reordered a half size larger and they fit beautifully. I have wide feet and these do not dig into my foot like many other shoes do. There are so many colors and patterns, I may just have to order another pair.
