Customer Reviews French Sole Sloop

Great shoe to go with everything - They run small and if you're looking for a shoe with support, this isn't it - however, they're very comfortable and I walk around in the city all day in them - they go with everything and I find that they're the first pair I reach for.

Great Flat! ...but not great right out of the box - Hard to find a flat with great shape these days, believe me I tried several. Finally very happy with this one. True what others have said, it is small for the size marked; I went a half size larger than normal and still it was too snug at first, but followed suggestion of an earlier reviewer to wear with a couple pairs of socks on for a few days and that helped considerably. It's also true what another says, that if you step on a rock in these shoes, you feel it, but I quite like that feel that I am wearing something so light around. All in all very pleased with these.

Cute but no support or much padding in the foot bed... if you step on a rock you feel it. The shoe isn’t very comfortable even after I broke them in… so I guess I’ll keep looking for a better option.

Sloop scoop - Very comfortable, but small so need to order at least 1/2 to 1 full size up. More like a slipper than a shoe, but pretty and comfortable if you wear flats.

Great shoes - They are soo comfy, the most comfy shoes I ever stepped foot in! The only thing is I wish they made them in other materials, b/c I’ve worn them so much they look like they are a 6months old after 2 weeks of owning them...

Nice Flat - A cute, fairly comfortable flat--it's a nice change to the ballet flat look. There is no arch support but the sole is comfortable enough. The red is a fun color but gets dirty easily.

Very cute but weird fit - These shoes look great with everything but have absolutely no support. Also, the sizing is weird. I am a 7.5 normally and I wear an 8 in these. The 8 is still a little small but the 8.5 is way too big. They look so cute though, I wear them anyways.

As I reviewed others experience on this pair of shoes, I ordered size 7 instead of my usual size of 6.5. Fits perfectly! I loved the color but must mentioned that there are some marks caused by its fabric, suede, on the surface and I don't know if they will even out by wearing them often, or use of suede brush on them. Though, I love the feeling when I first put them on, so comfortable. Too bad it doesn't have leather sole, but these are cute with jeans and other casual outfits. I don't think these are for a lot of walking to be honest, but more like slippers. Consider purchasing another color as well.

Need to be broken in! These shoes are very cute and seem like they will eventually be as comfortable as slippers, but they sure weren't right out of the box. They are very tight across the top of the foot and have started to stretch out a little and become better over time. Just don't expect to wear them a lot right away!

Cute, but need an awful lot of stretching - I love the look of this shoe so much that I bought it in every color. It's taking me a long time to get to wear them, though, as they need extensive stretching at the top "corners" to keep them from cutting into my flesh. So far, they're great wear-at-home shoes if I can kick them off after a few minutes. Wouldn't dare wear them out where it mattered. Not yet, anyway.

French Sole Sloop - This shoe is really cute and comfortable. Much more than your average ballet shoe. Fits well, but not recommended for wide feet. Slightly disappointed with the inside construction for the price, hopefully they hold up.

This is an Italian shoe and the size 11 is not an US size 11. This is several sizes smaller. I could not even get my foot into it.

I am consistently a size 9. The 9 in these shoes felt a full size too small. While I liked the style, these shoes felt a bit flimsy for the price. The sole is thin and there is not much padding. The shoes I received has obviously been worn before and didn't come with the original box. I am returning them.

It felt like you were wearing slippers instead of shoes. Wouldn’t be comfortable walking on concrete, etc.

Gorgeous shoe. I needed a wider option. The medium was too narrow. I can usually wear medium or normal, but some shoes require wide.

These were pictured in a way that showed the throat of the shoe to be higher on the foot. These are low throated and cut into my bunion. Way to shallow.

fit & size were pretty good. Leather was very soft, I have two hammer toes and they pressured the leather and you could see the bump.

I LOVE the leopard print and style of this shoe, but definitely runs short in length by at least 1/2 size. Width seems comfortable and I am aware the shoe is supposed to fit snug and similar to (ballet shoe), but there is no way I can wear this shoe to work often (walking around on my feet most of day) and have any of the sole left. Hardly any bottom to the shoe, otherwise I would try to order a 1/2 size larger because I love the look of them so much! :(

I normally wear a 10 in closed toe shoes and 11 in sandals. A size 10 was way too small. The eleven fit much better, but was slightly uncomfortable across the top of the shoe where I had my bunionectomy. I figured it would loosen up over time. However, I ended up returning the shoe because I did not like the look of the print from my big toe poking out through the shoe. Kudos to Zappos as always for excellent returns and price matching.

I wanted to love these shoes because of the beautiful leather and pretty pink color. I had read that the leather is so soft they adjust to your foot shape. I have wide feet and had that experience with another brand with soft leather, but it did not look like that would work with these even though I tried two sizes. The shoes came up too low on the sides of my feet to look good, and my big toe showed up in the top. There were ripples across the top because of the soft leather, and the shoes looked plain. There was very little cushioning from the sole and none in the footbed. Luckily, Zappos is great about returns!

Ok, after reading the main review I ordered these shoes knowing that they would have to stretch out. She was right! I ordered my regular size, and 8.5 and they "fit". I would NEVER suggest that you order these and plan on wearing them right out of the box. I've been wearing mine around the house trying to stretch them out and they are getting better, but slowly. I'm hoping they will be as wonderful as the first reviewer said, but for this amount of money, not sure I would order them again.

Wanted to love these flats. I didn't expect arch support and wasn't important but I felt like one of Cinderella's stepsisters trying to get these flats on. Definitely size up. I've always worn a 9 and a 10 would have been better. Adorable shoes thought and would have kept if they fit.

I consistently wear an 8 and these were way too small. Almost think they may have been mis-sized. I also thought they looked kind of cheap. Probably would be comfortable and maybe cute - if they fit.

Well, I did not read description close enough, so I thought for the price they would be 100% leather. The smell of the man-made materials has filled my office for the last few days and they are going back. These are the pewter metallics, maybe the suede ones are better.

These are really pretty and soft on your feet. Too soft for me. They fell apart after 2 months and I was not wearing them every day or walking for miles in them either. Zero support of any kind. Not made for the mean streets of NYC.
