Customer Reviews Frye Carson Ballet

As everyone else has said, the leather is very soft and supple. I ordered 1/2 size down from my regular size. This is my first pair of Fryes so I don't know if that would be consistent with other Frye purchases. For reference, I'm usually an 8.5 but ordered these in size 8. I have medium-sized bunions and heels that blister easily. The size 8 felt snug on my toes for about 1 hour, but then they sort of melded to my foot. I've never had any problems with uncomfortable heel rubbing or side gaping. Love them! They're my new go-to flat.

I wear these flats out and then re-order more. They are THE BEST. Zappos is also the best - can't beat their speed! :)

Purchased for my wife for Christmas. She loves them, said they were comfortable from the minute she put them on and just as comfortable at the end of the day. Leather is first quality!

I love these! They are exactly the simple classic shoe I was looking for. They fit great and the quality seems excellent.

I have been hunting for ballet flats that did not give me blisters. I got these shoes yesterday and I am in love. I wore them for four hours and they feel great!

Love these shoes! They are so comfortable and I plan on buying more in different colors. Highly recommend!

Great shoe, I've owned two of them for about 6 months. I wanted to add my experience with sizing because I read a lot of reviews recommending you size down because the shoe runs large. Not my experience. I typically wear a 7.5 and ended up needing to size up to an 8.

Instantly comfortable and I got no blisters like I usually get when breaking in new shoes on my long walk to work. They are remarkably well made and flattering on the foot. Looks like they will last me a good long while.

This is a great ballet flat. The soles are a bit slippery on hills. The leather is nice and soft. The shoes do not need to be broken in to wear them.

This is the best flat I have owned, and I have owned many pairs and brands. They fit beautifully - I can wear them to work and then out at night and I don't realize I have been in shoes all day. I will only buy flats from Frye now.

I love these shoes. Very soft and comfortable. I have to say that sizing is inconsistent. I have ordered in several different colors in my size and some fit and some don't. That's my biggest criticism. Luckily Zappos makes returns easy!

It's worth every penny and these flats are immediately comfortable. No rubbing on your heel and plenty of toe room!

These are comfortable and stylish. They are slippery when walking outside at first but with a little wear they are much better. These are excellent flats that are very high quality!

I live in ballet flats. I have been very loyal to a few other brands, but am very pleased with this purchase. I'm hard on shoes (very active). Not only are these a beautiful "cut' (love the look); they're hardier than the other two brands I've been buying. I intend to get these in black as well. Worth the money.

The leather sole makes it an elegant shoe. The shape is very nice, fits comfortable, but would not hike in them, too dainty.

This shoe is so comfy! Like walking on air. I hadn't heard of this brand before... But love it. Nice spring summer shoe or year round in hot climates.

I've never had success with ballet flats - even the most expensive kind, but this pair is just perfect...fits well, well structured, the back heel just right, not riding up your back ankle, and most of all, they are so comfortable. and of course, they look absolutely gorgeous. True to size. This is the first pair of shoes I bought online that I didn't have to return or exchange. I highly recommend these flats. as they say you get what you pay for - these are pricey but I've had pricier ones that I had to trash.

Love these shoes! I wear flats most of the time and these are very comfortable right out of the box. I have fairly narrow feet and these fit well- true to size. My only sort of complaint is that the soles are leather and very slippery when new. I scuffed up the soles on a rough sidewalk and now they are great. Nice color for almost any outfit. Good looking and well made.

I love these! They are slippery on the bottom (no tread) but comfortable, I stretched mine out with a blow dryer and they gave me 0 blisters the first time I put them on! They also look fantastic.

These shoes are so comfortable and pretty, I love them! The run small though. I ordered a 6.5 which is my size in 99% of shoes but these I had to order them in 7.

These are probably the best pair of flats I have ever owned. They are so soft and comfortable and fit my foot perfectly. I ordered my regular size. They don't have arch support b/c they are flats of course, so I tried adding an arch support but there wasn't enough room in the shoe so it squeezed my foot too much. I've been wearing them with no arch the last few weeks and they are great for regular wear. If you walk 5 miles in them, your foot may be sore. I live in NYC and do walk a fair amount and these shoes are great for it. Cute and really comfortable for flats. Maybe order up a 1/2 size if you want to add an arch?

Love these super comfy and super cute ballet flats. I should have really concentrated on all of the other reviews and bought the size 9 first, but I bought my standard 8.5 which kind of sort of fit, but was a bit was ultimately too snug in the length. So be warned, go up a bit when ordering or you will be taking advantage of Zappos free shipping in reverse. Love the charcoal color - it looks like a really well worn and warm color. Plan on buying other colors in the future. Plan on buying other Frye shoes in the future (second pair) and of course more boots.

These are my new go-to flats! The grey is very versatile. I am normally a 9 in Frye boots. I went up to a 9.5 in these because I felt like my toe was pushing against the front and would stretch the leather. After a few wears the 9.5 are a little loose but stay on my feet. If I ordered another pair, I'd stay with the 9. There is no toe cleavage by the way:). Also the soles are very slick at first but after two wears they roughed up nicely! Beautiful flat!!
