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.

I love this shoe! Good quality and goes with my work attire and jeans. I wear a 8.5-9 but had to get a 9.5.

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.

I've ran through a lot of expensive designer ballet shoes and these are the only kind that have ever stood up. Comfortable from the get go with no breaking in period. After wearing them a year, I've had to resole them only once. I am normally between an 8-8.5. For all Frye shoes I buy 8 and they fit perfectly. I'm looking forward to having these shoes for many more years to come.

I just received these today and I will echo what others have said -- they are comfy right out of the box. I just got them in black and will be ordering them in different colors. Very happy with my purchase.

I purchased these in Navy. They are darker than they appear online. The most comfortable flats I own and look great with jeans or slacks. Great Frye quality that I have come to expect. I will definitely order another pair!

This shoe is super comfortable, and I love everything about it - the shape, the leather, and especially the gorgeous color. I tried on about 7 other pairs of tan shoes, and this one, by far, had the nicest tone of tan. But the 9.5 is simply too tight on my feet, while the 10 is definitely too large. I wanted to keep them, but sadly, they're going back. I'd buy it in several colors if it fit.

These are the best flats. They don't make you feet sweat so bad as others and the are just very comfortable. They run a little small for my feet, nothing like the Frye boots but worth trying to you get the right size. I wish I could get them in a bunch of brighter colors instead of all the earthy browns offered.

These are the most comfortable pair of flats I have ever owned in my life and worth every penny. I bought mine for my wedding and they have lasted for two years having trekked all over creation in them. (They're still holding up great! I just wish I would've changed into sneakers for long walks across town.) The foot bed is impressively firm but cushy. I don't know how to describe it but they feel like walking on comfort. I just wish they would've offered better colors this season.

Love, love, love these! As with all the Frye shoes I've owned there is no wear in time. They fit right off the bat and are comfortable, plus they are super cute.

I am a very busy hair dresser and work long hours. These s hi does are absolutely perfect and with no uncomfortable break in period. I looked at other reveiws and bought 1/2 a size big and when I first tried them in they we're perfect. Now they slip a little but still all around a great shoe.

I have come to love Frye shoes and these are no exception. They are hands down, the most comfortable ballet flats right out of the box. They are a beautiful color, as well! They felt true to size.

I have been wanting to order these shoes for some time now. The cost seemed fairly high for flats but I have to say, I am a Frye boot gal so I wanted to give the Frye flats a try. They are amazing and totally worth the price tag. They are incredibly comfortable while still looking stylish and very well made just like the boots. Mine have a defective mark on them which is hardly noticeable but other than that they are perfect. For the price I want them to have zero defects. I am going to exchange them for the exact same pair.
