Customer Reviews French Sole Sloop

These shoes are cute, really wanted them. First I ordered 6 1/2 and they were too small, reordered in size 7, they were smaller than the 61/2! These are seriously mis-marked size wise!!

Ordered in my regular size based on other reviews but I couldn’t even get my foot in them, so no hope for wearing them in. Returned.

This shoe is very overpriced lol

Very nice shoe but the size was at least 1 size smaller.

So dissatisfied! These looked good out of the box so I wore them to work. Within hours the sides started flapping out and look terrible! I cannot believe I spent this much money on a pair of ballet flats that I could have gotten ANYWHERE for $20. This may be the worst purchase I’ve ever made and expected more from Zappos which usually carry nice quality brands.

The fit is WAY off. I almost always wear a 10 and because it was stated that they run small I boufht an 11. Still too small. I also thought that the styling was a bit nerdy. Toe too round. I leopard print shoe in my opinion, should be chic and stylish.

It's hard to even review these because, even though they were a 7.5 and I typically wear a 7-7.5, I could not even get these on my feet.

I read a few reviews that I must agree with. These were at least a full size too small. So small, I had to check the shoe to make sure the size wasn’t wrong. I normally wear 7-7 ½. I ordered 7 ½ & an 8 because reviews suggested ordering half size up. The 8 was very short in length. I thought surely it accidentally was a 6 ½. Also, the top of the shoe, at the instep, was very tight across my foot. I considered trying another half size larger but am afraid that instep part will still be too tight. The style is very cute and leather very soft. Disappointed to have to return these.

I'm so confused by all the reviews saying that these are comfortable shoes. The two pairs of the Sloop Flat in Chocolate Suede that I tried on are not just uncomfortable for ballet flats, they are hands down the most uncomfortable shoes I have ever put on my feet. It's not a sizing issue. For the last 20 years I've worn either a 9.5 or 10 depending on the shoe, so I ordered both sizes of the Sloop to try on. The length of the 10 was perfect, but the edge of the shoe's upper digs into the top of my foot in an sharply painful way, even when just standing still. It's not a width issue, either, because my feet are narrow, and all skin and bones (what a shoe salesperson recently referred to as a "low volume" foot). Maybe it's just the Chocolate Suede version that has this problem, though, because I really don't understand how hundreds of others who have reviewed this shoe could find them to be comfortable.

Dreadful color of brown. Not the rich, vibrant color French Sole was known for in the past. The quality of this shoe was also very disappointing. Not my idea of $100.+ shoe.

The shoes I received look worn! There is a heal mark and the sides are coming undone!

Terrible shoe! I’m a 9 and size 10 was still too small and hurt everywhere.

The silver color that I bought scuffed the first day I wore them and get additional scuff marks just about every time I wear them. I also dont get the hype from others about how comfortable they are - there is no footbed cushioning or support. I spent more on these hoping to find a comfortable durable shoe and and 100% dissapointed

These shoes were way too small even though I ordered my correct size. I returned them. Order larger size if your feet are wide.

For $130 I shouldn't have to wear these for several days to stretch them to fit me. I had a hard time justifying 130 for a ballet flat in the first place. These are the most uncomfortable shoes at any price I've ever bought. Adorable but they dig into the top of my foot, the back of my heel and my toes are wedged at the tip. I am a 7 1/2 or 8 and I bought the 8. Waste of money, Would return them if I could but like one reviewer said I wear them for a few days and stuck heel pads in them and still painful.

I love French Sole sloop shoes -- I have 4 of them. Beware: there is a width difference for the same size shoe. I'm having to return this pair even though it's the same size as my other pair. This pair 1/4" more narrow.

I found these to be way too small. I ordered a 10 (my usual size) and an 11 (just to be safe) and neither fit. I do have a wide-ish toe area but these shoes are not long enough.

Cute but painful. The first pair I ordered arrived already used, the replacement pair had one shoe wider/longer than the other. Both marked the same size. One pair arrived with a white interior and the other with a natural camel colored interior. These shoes tore up my heels, rubbing in all the wrong places. After wearing them around the house they never softened up or stretched to fit, just kept making my feet sore. I am not sure why they get such good reviews from people. Have tried multiple colors now and each one leaves my feet in pain.

Way too small! Very disappointing. Beautiful shoes but they came in a size 9 box (size ordered) but they fit like a 6!! I could barely get my toe in and the sole wasn't long enough for my foot. And neither shoe has any size marking on the shoe - inside or out. So it looks like they put wrong size shoes in the box. Beautiful looking. Very disappointed. Will not try again since the shoes had no size markings and cannot be sure to get right size.

I am disappointed in these shoes. I've had and worn them quite a bit for about six months and they have stretched and lost any shape they ever had. They no longer fit my foot and the insole is destroyed. It should cost about one third what it does.

I read all the reviews and so many were so positive that I ordered these shoes in two colors. I have worn them around my home for three days and they have absolutely no support and I may as well be barefoot. With my myriad foot problems, these sadly have to go back.

These shoes are cute but really small. I wear a 9 in my other French Soles, but these are so small that I thought maybe they were size 6! I couldn't even get my foot in it. Very flimsy and soft also.

Took a chance and ordered my size...11...since this shoe does not come in 11 1/2. The reviews are correct...runs way small...short and narrow. Poo! Love the style and black suede...but sadly going back.

I've purchase French Sole a few years back, I am so disappointed with the quality of their work. I purchased the shoes in velvet, leather black and silver and the quality of the shoe was poor and they run small.

After much debate I ordered these shoes and wow, was I disappointed. Upon opening the box I thought, "This price for these? You have to be kidding me!" They are no more comfortable or better constructed than the inexpensive leopard flats I was hoping to replace. Save your money; these are not worth the price.
