Customer Reviews French Sole Sloop

I love this shoe! I have it in brown suede also. This is my travel shoe and it has gone to Europe for 2 trips. It goes with everything, is comfortable and doesn't take up a lot of space in luggage. It doesn't have arch support but that doesn't seem to matter. I have put in arch supports for long walks that I can remove also. I always get compliments when I wear this shoe.

These shoes are like bedroom slippers! The cut is roomy in the toe box (plus no toe cleavage) and high enough in the heel that they stay on my feet, unlike most of my flats. The only issue is that one side starts to cut into the ball of my foot after I've been wearing them awhile. I am hoping this will go away as they wear in.

I've looked for a pair of comfortable, but cute, animal print flats for a year. I love the French Salon flats. I have three pair of the Zeppa style, but never saw the animal print in the stores. While skimming Zappos, I came upon these. They were out of my size, so I signed up on the waiting list, and was notified within ten days that they had them. I am a 6 but wear the 6.5 in this brand. They arrived the day after I ordered them. They are darling and fit like a glove, although a little short. I like the Sloop but the Zeppa is my favorite because of the little heel. I have somewhat narrow feet but also have a bunion. Somehow this brand is almost formfitting to my feet and is not too wide. The edges never cut into my feet, either. They are super comfortable but still stylish. Thank heavens for Zappos!

This is a fabulous shoe! Feels like a slipper and flattering, as well. It ran just a bit short (and only for my right foot), and because of the extra soft leather upper, did not want to risk putting that much pressure on the toe of the shoe, so I am returning them. Hard decision, because I really wanted to keep them.

Love this shoe! I already have a pair in black suede so was eager to get another color. Some may not like the lack of arch support (and I have high arches) but I found the shoes extremely comfortable. Size-wise, the shoes were true to my 7.5 - 8 size feet. Already looking to get a pair of brown suede flats next fall. Very cute shoes, love them!

Gorgeous, wonderful shoe! I feel like a million dollars in style and comfort. I know the quality is superb! True what they say, order half size up from normal!

This is the most comfortable shoe that I have worn in a very long time. I liked it so much that I immediately purchased two additional pairs. As recommended, I ordered one-half size larger than I normally wear, and it was a perfect fit.

I wear an 8.5 in most flats, and have a slightly wide foot. Stupidly, I ignored the advice of the company and went with an 8.5 in this shoes based on another reviewer's note that this is supposed to fit like a leather sock. Even though I will be returning for a 9, I will say that this shoes feels like absolute heaven on my foot just sitting around my apartment. My toes are a bit claustrophobic, which is why I'll size up, but absolutely everything else about them is divinely comfy. Can't wait to get the new size and take them out for a spin.

Great ballet flats! I normally wear a true 12M - ordered a 13 and, perfect. Have never liked any other ballet flat in past - normally they fit so tightly in the larger sizes and seem to cut in the wrong places across the top of the foot. These are neither too low (toe cleavage) nor too high (causing gap on sides when you walk). True Goldilocks - just right. Now own in leopard, red (which is a great true red - more to the blueish than the orangey one in the photo) camo, and bronze. Now these are my go to shoe for 3 mile city walk to/from work every day. Also appreciate the leather interior. Most flats get slippery without socks and these just get better. Great shoe - especially for the price.

Beyond comfortable... I love flats but it's surprisingly hard to find ones that are truly easy on your feet. These ran true-to-size for me, and I have somewhat wide feet. The interior is super soft and I feel like I'm walking around in socks all day. I'm in love!

These shoes are adorable. Although true to size (I'm a 7), the right one was considerably tighter than the left, and the 7.5 would have been too big for my left foot,so I just wore them around the house with thick gym socks to stretch 'em out. Now they're perfect, and I get lots of compliments!

I love the French Sole Sloop. One size larger. Always. They are what they are, so if you want or need support' look elsewhere. If you want an elegant little flat that looks expensive, then this is your shoe.

I searched all over for a simple black suede flat, this style is perfect! I usually take a 9 or 9 1/2 but this ran small. I'd love to order it in a fun color as well.

I am a true 7 B. The French Soles Co. advised a 1/2 size bigger. I bought a size 8 and put in a gel insole with arch support. That fits perfectly. I can wear them all day in comfort. They are stylish beautiful shoes. Just order one size up and add your own internal support. I will be ordering many more. Very simple and sophisticated.

My first pair wore so well, that the inside was an embarrassment. I now wear them when I work in the garden. These shoes are stylish, fit like a glove, wear like iron, and make a woman feel cute! Buy a pair. You'll love them!

This is a very cute shoe. It has surprisingly soft padding. It ran small. I will exchange for larger size.

This was my first pair of FS. Probably won't be my last either. This leather feels like butda! The construction is A1, top notch. The width was spot on. These shoes do fit loosely around the toes. I'm pretty sure you want this for comfort. I wear a 7 to a 7.5, and the 8 was perfect for me. I tried the 7.5, but I had to exchange for the 8. Of course Zappos was wicked awesome about the exchange- as always. I'm super happy I got them.

Great flat for travel and running around town. Runs fairly true to size, and there was still a bit of room to add an insole if you don't like overly flat shoes!

This is the most comfortable flat I've ever found! It doesn't rub in any weird places, and I can walk forever in these; however, I will switch off putting a insert in the bottom if I'm walking long distances. Normally I wear a 7.5 and purchased an 8.5 M in black suede.

I adore these flats! They are very cute and very comfortable. I ordered a half size up based on some other reviews but really didn't need to. But with some cushioned insoles added in, they fit fine. I had a slight bit of rubbing on my heel the first time I wore them, but after that they've been very comfortable. I will mention that red suede is not the easiest thing to keep clean!

Good flat, nice shape and very comfortable. I like that these shoes completely cover my toes, unlike most other flats.

These are very comfortable shoes. I always buy them a half size larger as they fit small.

They were really comfortable on my feet. I hate to wear shoes, but these- like another reviewer said- conformed to the shape of my toes. I recommend them to anyone who finds shoes uncomfortable. And I got lots of compliments on the looks.

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!!

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.
