I love these.
I love these shoes. I have them in zebra and leopard. They look great. Cons: they run at least a half size smaller. I normally wear a 6 1/2 and sometimes 7. I ordered a 7 and they just fit. Also, they are flats w/ no cushion but that isn't a problem for me.

If you like Uggs but want something that is a little more substantial, look no further! I like the idea of slipping on a comfy shoe in the winter without fussing with a boot, and these are perfect. I have the Bark which looks great with jeans and cords, and I am thinking of getting them in black to wear with slacks to work.

Loved it but...
These shoes were very comfortable and I loved them but the first time I wore them, they got a little damp and faded terribly and it ruined them. I will not reorder more.

Great little shoe!
This is a great little shoe. Very, very comfortable, almost like a bedroom shoe. While it doesn't have any arch support, I have still shopped in them all day long with no problem. I had a stranger come over to me at a meeting the other day and ask me what kind they were and where I got them! I have since bought 2 more pairs for myself, and one pair each for both of my daughters!

The Perfect Flat -
These are so cute and comfortable. They are my new favorite shoe. Bought a half size larger and they fit perfectly.

Love!
Got the giraffe print and love them! Ordered a half size up (am 6.5, ordered 7) and they are a tiiiiny bit large, but I think would have pinched my feet if I had ordered the 6.5. Wore them to work and they are very comfortable, although agree not much arch support. I wasn't expecting any though, is a ballerina flat after all. Sprayed against water protection, as previous review advised her pattern ran after getting water on it. Have had no issues with that since protecting it. Fabric is very soft. Doesn't cut or pinch anywhere. Love love love! Ordering more colors.

Just got these shoes and the fit (even though listed as 11 - 11.5) was perfect. They are a touch on the wide side for a D, but very comfortable and I think they are a great crossover...can wear with dress slacks or jeans. And I could not have asked for faster delivery. Zappos rocks.

So cute -
I just love these shoes. I was tired of buying flats that cut my feet up so I decided to spend some money on something nice. These shoes do not hurt or cut my feet up! I have such a hard time finding shoes that don't kill my feet. There isn't much arch support but I barely notice. I did need to order a size up. They are a bit big but a half of a size would have been tight. I would recommend these to everybody.

Comfy ballerina -
Cute shoe but the sole does look more like the sole of a slipper. I got the leopard print and bought it just for that reason. A sturdy everyday shoe with good support for walking, this is NOT, but for a fun cute comfy shoe to wear as you would any ballet slipper, it is great!

Very disappointed -
I can't agree with the raves from other readers. These shoes looked adorable and so comfy online, and I was expecting to love them. Instead, the top of the shoe was so tight that it cut into my foot, even though I ordered a half size up. The suede was stiff, the shoes had a very strong and unpleasant rubber odor, and they had no support whatsoever. The shape reminds me of the Chinese cloth Mary Janes I used to wear in high school (we called them baby doll shoes), except the Chinese shoes were uber-comfy and cost about much less, and these were not comfortable at all and cost ten times as much. Back to Zappos they go!

Love these!
I would totally recommend these! I took the advice of other reviewers and ordered a half size up and it was the right thing to do. My actual size would have been too small. I like that these come up a bit higher than some ballet flats, but still looks so perfectly classic. These are best and super comfy.

Perfect!
The perfect shoe! I have these in brown, bronze & charcoal. So comfy & cute too...the best ballet flat around. Not much arch support, & order 1/2 size larger. Makes feet look pretty.

Classic vintage flat -
This is a wonderful soft shoe that is very comfortable. I bought four colors. Definitely buy a full size larger. It has a nice wide toe box so your feet have lots of room to breath. There is no arch support and no heel. This is really a flat.

French Sole -
I love this shoe! However, I got the giraffe print, which ran when water was splashed on them. It looked awful! But one call to Zappos and problem solved. They shipped me a new pair the next day, which I sprayed with a waterproofing product, and that prevented future problems. They paid for the return shipping, and also for the new pair.

Great Shoe -
Got the leopard print - so cute and comfortable if you don't plan to walk 5 miles. Not a lot of support, so not the perfect shoe if you are on your feet all day.

Much Complimented Shoe -
Real cute. Yes, slipper-like. Fits tight if you have bunions. I think it's too expensive. But, looks great and is comfy enough and every time I put these shoes on I receive compliments. Good to pack in a bag and pull out for casual chic wherever you go. Just can't wear in the rain.

AWESOME shoes...
I want a pair in EVERY color! They are fitting a tiny bit snug. If you are 7.5 you might try 8.0. I have the zebra print, and have had tons of compliments. They are VERY comfortable...

Just OK -
These shoes run very small. I normally wear a 10 but ordered an 11 and they are still a little tight. Not very well constructed but pretty comfortable.

Cute, but too small -
These shoes seemed as though they would be quite comfortable, but were at least a half size too small, perhaps even a whole size.

Great shoe!
I really like this shoe! So soft. No cushioning or arch support, but I didn't expect any in such a low profile style. I followed the recommendation to order a size up, but I think I would have been fine going up only a half a size. My feet are quite broad across the balls and I did not feel that the shoes were too narrow.

Worth it!
I love these shoes! No breaking in required, and oh-so-chic! The only drawback is that my foot a little wide, so there is a little pleating/buckling on the side (nothing I can't live with!).

This shoe is very nice looking; good materials, only one seam. I usually have a hard time with ballet flats because I am narrow thru the heel and these worked. It doesn't have a very sturdy sole and it definitely is a full size too small. I wouldn't wear them for a lot of walking; they (and my feet) aren't up to it.

So cute, but a little delicate -
These are the cutest, simplest suede ballet flats I've ever seen. I love them and so does everyone else who sees them. They seem a little fragile, they are so soft, but my pair actually have a rubber sole - which is strange, because the first pair I bought (which was too big - I bought 2 sizes up based on reviews, but only needed to go one size up) had a soft leather sole. So, maybe as they continued making this shoe, they put a rubber sole on it. Because that soft leather sole would never have lasted for street wear. But with the rubber sole they are soft, comfy and cute. Definitely worth the $.

Great looking, comfortable flat -
I love these shoes. They go with loads of casual styles, look attractive, and feel like slippers. While I wouldn't wear them to dress up, they do work equally well with jeans or trousers as a hip alternative to tennis shoes. A word of warning: air them out before putting them in your closet - they have a very astringent odor at first.

Pretty comfortable - I ordered these shoes for a nice pair of casual flats, and because I'd seen them in catalogs looking great with jeans. They are comfortable. But based on other reviews, I ordered a full size larger than what I normally wear. I now feel that it was a mistake. They almost feel too much like comfortable floppy slippers, and I wasn't looking for that feel. Not to wear out for the day. I love the color (I ordered the greenish color ) and the look, but I think they'll mainly stay "around the house" shoes.
