Love these flats. They are beautiful, sleek, and very comfortable. The only criticism I have is that they do feel a tiny bit small. I agree to order a half size up. That said I did keep my normal size and they are still pretty comfortable.

These are my third pair of Carson flats. The other two are wear with everything colors (and I do), but I got the pink suede just because. They're adorable, and every bit as comfortable as the other two pairs. Frye never disappoints!

Cute and comfy! These shoes look and feel great. I am not really a 'flats' gal, but I must admit, these shoes give me a stylish break from my beloved high heels. The color is awesome, too - red without the fire engine aspect.

When I first took these flats out of the box I was a bit concerned because they looked very narrow, and I have slightly wide feet. I put them on and they felt a little tight - like perhaps I should have order up a half size. However, after wearing them for only a few hours they stretched out and now fit like a glove. They are incredibly comfortable! Now I want all the colors. I have the gold suede version and they are really beautiful. I like that they have a weathered, aged look to them. They go with everything - casual or dressy. I highly recommend them!

Very stylish flats in a lovely light gray blue color - great for work and the weekends. Show just a bit of "toe cleavage". The leather is super soft from day 1. No real arch support but these are very comfy for casual walking. Not sure yet how good they will look when I inevitably spill something on them! Would definitely buy them in more colors.

I'm pretty picky about shoes. Comfort is king, and these shoes are just that - comfortable. The leather is supple and cut low enough in the heel, unlike so many that are chapping your Achilles. Fortunately, they're also attractive, whether with a dress or under jeans. I got them in 2 colors.

Love this shoe. Looks good with many things. Fits perfectly. Amazingly comfortable for a ballet flat. I usually order down a half size for a flat but that was a mistake, sent the 6.5's back for 7's. Highly recommend this shoe.

I love these shoes, they are the perfect flat, BUT...the left shoe was made of much softer leather than the right. This made the toe of the shoe crumple a bit, here the right shoe held up fine. I still wear them and love them. Getting another color too.

I love these so much that I own them in three colors. I was lucky enough to be able to try them on in a store first to get the right fit. They are a little uncomfortable the first few times that you wear them, but then I get you get used to them. I have super flat feet with low/no arches so these are great and honestly the more I wear them them more comfortable, my brain thinks they are. As I said you have to get used to them.

Ordered these along with several other similar Ballet style flats. The fs/ny French Sole Sloop, the Zeppa, the Born Julianne. These Frye Carson by far looked and felt the best for me, with the exception of the Born Julianne which was extremely soft and comfy inside, also ran true to size. The leather feels great and I know will only get better with age. The sole is a little slippery at first but I roughed it up on the concrete to give it a little more traction. I love the rubber on the heel too. I ordered a 7.5 and it fits fine. As with any new shoe I will have to wear it in around the edge as it's cut right where my big toe bone is, however, I know this will soften once broken in. I love the look of this ballet as I can wear them with my leggins, jeans or shorts.

Love these cute flats. The leather is very soft & comfortable on the first wear. I thought I might go down a half size but glad I stuck with my normal size 9. I really love these shoes will order a different color soon. Stick to regular size in this design you will be glad you did.

These are the perfect pair of flat. Wearing these as my wedding shoes since I'm wearing a blush gown, the dusty rose color is exactly what I was looking for! Love them.

I received these today and I could not be happier. The burnt red Amber is a go with anything color. The leather is so soft and pretty. And the ballet style makes me feel young and pretty! These are going to be great with jeans, leggings, skirts, etc. I may need another color.

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 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!

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.
