Customer Reviews French Sole PassportR Flat

The shoe is well made, high quality, and very comfortable. Sizing is a 1/2 size larger as others have noted; I am a size 7 and ordered a 6.5 and it fits perfect. However, that said, the style is a bit strange. the vamp/toe area is not almond shaped, it comes to a point on one side of the shoe towards the inside, which looks really strange. If it weren't for that, I would of kept these shoes (photo with top view of shoes doesn't show this). Sadly, they are going back.

Beautiful, comfortable flat. I have an extremely difficult time finding dressy looking flats because of my plantar fasciitis and bad feet in general. I was hesitant to pay so much for a simple flat but these were extremely soft and comfortable right out of the box. I wore them all day with no rubbing or pain of any kind. There is no arch support to speak of but somehow these worked for me. However, I would not recommend these for situations where you need more foot support or plan to do a lot of walking. I also found that these shoes run TRUE TO SIZE. Based on other reviews I ordered an 8.5 (I normally wear a 9) and they were super tight. The 9 fit me perfectly.

Ordered both a 6 and 6.5 since reviews said they run big. They are are cushioned and comfortable but unfortunately 6 too pinchy in toe and 6.5 too long. Returning both.

I had tried these on in the store in NY so knew they ran a bit big and also that they stretch out. I have wide feet and these are the only flats I've had that don't squish my toes. The only fit issue I have is that the spot where the patent meets the soft leather rubs my fourth toe a bit. I'm hoping that with time, the shoe will stretch and this won't be an issue. The show is classic looking though the toe box looks a little frumpy. Worth the sacrifice for some comfort for me!

Classy shoe. Not a lot of support, however. It has a "slipper fit" and is very comfortable and stylish.

Me and my feet love this shoe. A little pricey, but easy to justify the cost based on the comfort.

Not comfortable on me - too tight in toe box area.

Definitely a beautiful flat. I wish it had worked with my feet.

The shoe was too large for a 6 1/2. For the price of the shoe I was surprised at the poor quality of the shoe and the leather. Glue was showing on the sides of the sole where it was attached to the shoe. I am returning them and exchanging them for a different shoe.

Reviews said thee ran a full size large so I ordered a half size down. Too small. Ordered my true size and they were uncomfortable due to the edge being grosgrain ribbon which acts as saw teeth rubbing against your skin. One of them was still too tight. For $200 these were just not going to work. Sent both sizes back.

I bought these after reading the many positive reviews. They are gorgeous, but a strange thing, they keep coming untied! I nearly fell onto another guest at a dinner party when I stepped on my own shoe string. I need to find a solution for this. Have tried to double-knot them but the slippery laces untie themselves. Because of this, I would not recommend until the manufacturer comes up with a better plan. Because of this, only 2 stars.

Why did I not listen to the reviews. Shoes were huge. Not sure if I would need to go down a half or whole size, but won’t bother. Did not like style. Too sedate. Thought they were a substitute for Paul Mayer and they are, but for the more clunky style. Not the sleek ballerina. Not for me.

These are poorly made right out of the box the insole was peeling. Feels like a slipper more than a shoe. NOT worth the money at all.

These are the most uncomfortable shoes. Bought them to where back & forth to work - walking to & from subway. I had to buy moleskin to prevent blisters. And there is no support, so disappointed for such a high price. I buy Anne Klein sport at less than half the price and they are so comfortable right out of box. I hate these French sole shoes. They look good but don't let that fool you.

size and fit are good but the shoes have been worn. Not just tried on but actually worn. returning, they should have been inspected before re-selling.

Just one-half or less style too short

Comfortable and they look great. I'm very pleased.

This was the most expensive of the ballet flats in this style I tried and decided the price was worth it. I liked a few others, but this was the most comfortable and the rubber sole was a huge plus.

These are classics - they go well with everything. If you travel, they're easy to pack as they're light and don't take up any space.

These are beautiful shoes, made in Spain. They look delicate, but are actually very sturdy. The pewter color goes with everything. I got them to wear with a gray outfit for a dressy occasion, but they are also super cute with jeans and leggings. I’m a 9.5/10, and everyone said they run large. The 9.5 is perfect and comfy, but I usually am more comfortable in a 10 in this kind of close fitting shoe, so it probably does run a little large. So happy with this purchase!

Fit is perfect and the color is classic and fantastic.

These are stunning shoes! Beautifully made. The pewter metallic is a great neutral color - goes with everything. They beat Ferragamo for price (by a lot) and comfort (by a lot). Not quite as "dressy" as Ferragamo - but dressy none-the-less. Beautiful flats for a corporate job or dressing up jeans and everything in between. They do run large - maybe a half or full size too large depending on the person. Maybe a little narrow too, hard to tell for others. Couldn't be happier.
