I bought them and was unsure since I ordered online. They far exceeded my expectations and are true to fit. The leather is soft and rich in color. I will definitely be ordering in all colors. Worth the price and upholds the Frye legend in quality of leather.

I just recently purchased my third pair of Carsons and I could not be more pleased. I have had my othet two pair for years and they are in great shape. I do routinely apply leather protectant to them. The shoes are instantly comfortable and don't require a break in period. True to size.

Beautiful soft leather with no need to break in. True to size. Flattering on slender feet.

My new favorite ballet flat - I ordered these because I was trying to replace an old pair of Subo ballet flats that Zappos no longer carries. These are better - the leather is SO soft, the color is absolutely beautiful, they are a very natural nude that blend with my skin, elongating the leg - which is not always the case with flats. They will go with everything. I haven't had them long but I can already tell these are ballet shoes that will go the distance.

These guys are a little tough to break in, but once you do you will never want another pair of flats as long as you live. Worth the price too, as these shoes are so much more durable than the competition.

These shoes are very comfortable right out of the box! True to size and love the color. Got my daughter a pair of Frye flats (different style) last year and she raved about the comfort so had to get a pair for myself.

I've purchased two pair within the past year and will probably order a 3rd. Perfect fit for me. The leather is very soft. Super comfortable.

I ordered the black and am going to order more in different colors right away! Everything about this shoe is worth the money. I wear 8½ in all my other Frye shoes so I naturally ordered that size for this shoe but I had to send them back for a 9. The 8½ was way too tight.

I have been searching for comfortable flats after a string of uncomfortable ones and I think I found it! I purchased these in black and in beige. While it took a day or two to break in, they are really comfortable! Also they actually look cute! It is made by Frye so the quality is great! A good classic flat!

I wear an 8 1/2 in Frye boots, but had to go up to a 9 in these. Also tried the Frye Callie and Olive flats and found that I needed a 9 in those, as well.

Love this ballet flat. Super comfortable. Not too low cut and not too high either. Have them in the leather and suede...and both are super comfortable. No break-in period. Only wish the sole was made out of non-slip rubber.

My black Carson ballet flats are now in their third year of hard wear and are still going strong. They are the most comfortable shoes I have ever owned and felt like they were made for my feet from day one. I have walked miles and miles in these shoes with never a pinch or a twinge and the heels have yet to show signs of wearing down. Last week I feared the worst when I was caught in a drenching rain. My shoes were totally saturated, squishy and totally drowned. Within two days however, they had dried and were good as new again. Please Frye, never discontinue this shoe! I am considering ordering a backup pair just in case though.

I have very bad feet and these flats are the only ones I can wear and this is my fourth pair. The leather is soft and forgiving which adds to their comfort. They are definitely pricey but my feet are happy because of them. The Frye boots are also wonderful.

Wow, no break in time necessary. These shoes felt like slippers from day one. Love the leather sole; however, some people may find them a little slippery on tile until they are walked in for a bit. Love them! Just ordered a second pair.

I really like these shoes and are hoping they stretch some or I may need to take them to a cobbler. I ordered a 9.5 though I'm supposedly a 9. I would not size down for these.

These are my all time favorite flat shoes, I have these in various colors and love them from the minute I put them on. I wear a size 9, and purchase same, they fit like a glove. The leather is so soft you will feel like you have had them forever. I guarantee you will also fall in love with them.

Best flats ever. I should tell you all that I do NOT like flats. I don't wear them, and this is the first pair I've purchased in years. I live in New York City and these are my subway shoes. That's the idea anyway, but I'll wear them for quick errand running too. They don't need to be broken in and they fit like your favorite slippers. They are worth the money.

Just got these in the mail yesterday. Wearing them this morning and they are so comfy. No rubbing or blisters. Just pure bliss on my feet. Love the feel of the soft leather. Great shoe to wear with jeans or a dress.

A gorgeous flat in perfect color for warmer weather. The embossed finish is stylish, the color has some shading and it just comes off as elegant. The leather is the usual Frye "top notch" quality making for a soft, super comfortable shoe.
