These are great shoes! Very comfortable right out of the box and are getting better every time I wear them. They go with anything from jeans to dress pants and dresses.

I brought a pair of these shoes 2 weeks ago and I love it! The color looks great ( got them in red) and they are very comfortable!! I plan on ordering another pair. I wear a size six but I order a six and a half. They fit me great. When I wear them I can smell the leather. Great quality, great product and this is my first time ordering from this company. Will recommend buying these flats.
Loving I,

I love these shoes for work attire. They were comfortable right out of the box. While I typically wear a 9.5 in Frye's these ran a little longer and a size 9 works the best (especially if they give a little over time). I do have a pair of Lucky brand ballet flats. In comparison, these Frye ones look a lot more grown up and polished.

I purchased the black ones in December and have worn them almost everyday since then. I got my normal size and it took about a week to break them in but they are so comfortable now that I decided to get the grey ones. I order a 1/2 size bigger than my normal this time and they fit perfect with no breakin period. I am a little disappointed though because the grey is actually a light brownish color with not a hint of grey in them. Keeping them though because brown was going to be my next color, just wish they had been grey .

Was hoping these would be the answer to my ballet flat prayers! And they are!
So comfortable, so well made, they go with everything and I get asked 'where did you get your shoes' all the time- everyone loves them. No arch support but somehow the leather compensates for that and I don't have issues.
I ordered a 9.5 which works but could have probably done the 9 and just let them get more comfy over time. Out of the box these have been amazing!

These shoes feel like they are already broken in. They are super comfy and I have gotten so many compliments on these. They look exactly like the picture and fit like a dream. I wore them the day I got them in the mail and haven't gotten any blisters since.

A little stiff at first - these will require some breaking in. This is my second pair and I know they're made to last!

I've been looking for a brown flat for work and these are really nice. The color is gorgeous, I like the shape and they fit my normal to wide-ish foot pretty well. My only two issues are that they're taking a while to break in and the bottom leather sole is a bit slippery indoors on tile etc. so I'll probably end up getting a rubber sole put on.

I bought these shoes before a 2-week tourist trip to India. There was absolutely no break-in period and I loved them from the start! I was quite hard on them as we traipsed about dirty, uneven ground...and they held up remarkably well. I didn't actually intend to wear them for the entire trip, but they were so very comfortable I just ended up choosing them every day! Back at home, they're still my go-to shoe. It is truly the best ballet flat I've ever owned. Also, I should mention that at size 9.5, not every shoe looks cute on my foot, but Frye just nailed it with the style and comfort of the Carson Ballet. Can't wait to buy the beautiful cognac color, and then black, and then antique beige...

So comfortable! I like a shoe that is classic and stylish, and these shoes fit both categories. There's just something about them that make me feel like Audrey Hepburn when I wear them-and I'm 5'7" and blond. I think it's that they remind me of Sabrina. These look good with jeans, skirts and even shorts.

They run a little bit big but since they're leather they'll stretch and be perfect. Normally a sz 7.5, bought sz 7 and I'm happy

This must be the most beautiful ballet shoe I've ever come across. Classic and well made. Alas, I think I am realizing that as I turn 60 years old that my feet are now a wide or double wide, thus, with much regret I return these but give them a 5 for workmanship and ascetics.

Great fit and very stylish. True to size. The leather breaks in easily. The red color is a little more red than pictured.

My favorite flats ever! I got them in a black and nude color. It's a good classic ballet flat that for the first time didn't give me a single blister. There is no arch support but there is a subtle cushioning in the sole. I will say it is a little thin on top but still look great!

I love my flats, I have wide feet and feel awkward in flats, but these shoes are flattering. I did order my size even though it was suggested to under a size down. Glad I did, they fit perfectly. As always I love love Zappos. I work at the post office and suggest to everyone to buy from zappos! BEST CUSTOMER SERVICE AROUND!

Beautiful shoe, which I am reluctantly returning. Unfortunately, due to my foot structure I can only comfortably wear higher-cut ballet flats, such as AGL and Clarks. This shoe is really cute and would look fabulous with jeans. Wish I could wear it. If you don't have problem feet, enjoy this flat!

This is the third pair my wife has gotten. She wears these almost on a daily basis and they have held up nicely. First pair is 2 years old and is starting to show some wear in the toe but I feel like when the time comes they can be resoled if need be.

These shoes are amazing! They fit perfectly as soon as I put them on! You can wear them casual or dress them up! These shoes are a staple to my wardrobe now! I was hesitant on spending the money but after wearing them they are completely worth it! My ONLY negative feedback on this shoe is the bottom of the shoe is a little slick. Hoping after some wear that will no longer be an issue.

Love these shoes. I was afraid they might not be that comfortable because the sole was so thin, but I was wrong.

I purchased these shoes as a gift for my daughter. She said, right out of the box, these shoes are a dream to wear. There was no breaking-in time, no blisters, no red pressure points on the side of her feet and plenty of toe box room. She wears them all the time, with everything, everywhere. She loves the color saying they go with almost anything she wears, even jeans. I just sent her another pair of Frye ballet shoes in black, the Regina ballet, So now I am eager to see what her report will be about those. I'll keep you posted.

I have trouble finding flats that are comfortable, but these are and they are also cute. Worth the price.
