Customer Reviews Frye Carson Ballet

This fit perfectly, the only thing I have to say to you is that they do not, to my eyes, scream silver! They have a every so slight gold cast. But totally the metallic look I wanted and the style and fit. It is interesting how just a little bit of difference can make these fashionable and the Silver Naturalizer NOT! Enjoyed myself in my Metallic Silver Frye's!

I liked the quality of the leather and the level of padding inside the shoe but they fit a little small. I typically wear a 6.5 and had to exchange these for a 7 despite wearing a 6 in Frye boots. Despite sizing up the fit is still a little off, rubbing against the top of my big toes even though there is room in the heel. Also, compared to my normal flats the sides of the shoe come up higher than I am used to (i.e., no toe cleavage).

The shows are lovely, but for me, unwearable. They cut into the widest part of my big toes. Disapointing.

The construction, sizing and "butteriness" of the leather varies considerably depending on the color you choose. Take a close look at the inside texture in the photos. You'll notice that the charcoal antique color has a rippled texture on the inside. This version is AMAZING! The smooth interior version, such as the black is stiff and the sizing is at least a half size big. The sole is slick and the whole shoe is uncomfortable out-of-the-box. I ordered the following colors: charcoal (keeping); grey (keeping) - this is actually more on the pinkish side; the black and cognac are going back - too large, slick soles, stiff leather - feels like plastic which is truly unfortunate. The beige is the nicer leather and sole, but runs big.

I think these flats are cute, light, and comfy. However, I normally wear a 7 my feet were slipping out of the sz 7. I am waiting for my 6.5 to arrive and hoping that's a perfect fit.

Beautiful shoes! Run a little small, order a half size up.

I have a narrow, long, high-arched foot. This shoe is slightly longer than a typical size 9, but not a 1/2 size larger. While flats usually don’t have arch support sometimes they are narrow enough, but these seemed wider than a typical width. Had to send back.

Runs small to size. Need to return for half size bigger.

Nice quality leather, good look to the shoe but too narrow/restrictive for my feet. Very slick sole too - think I would slip walking around in these, maybe they have better grip with wear. Ordered a 7.5, seemed true to size.

The low cut vamp (across the toes) tends to cut into the top of the big toe. As these are leather, it should stretch out over time. Wish Frye shoes came in W width.

If your foot runs narrow, don't bother. Also they run a half size larger than marked. I usually wear 8 1/2, and the 8 fit me in length. Too bad they were too wide.

Cute shoes, but too small. Based on reviews which said can run a little large, I purchased my normal size 7. Sometimes I can wear a 7.5 if the shoe is on the narrow side. Alas, I must return for the 7.5.

I love Frye- have been wearing their boots since the early '70's. I own handbags and was super excited to find these ballet flats. I have since found them not holding up particularly well; after only 6 months (and rotating frequently among 3 pair....) they're breaking down and stretching out. I still love Frye (the ones made in the USA...) but will not order the ballet flats again.

Well made, but run half size larger. Have to return.

Too small, for my usual 8.5 size.

Very cute, but definitely not "aqua". Color pictured is mostly accurate, except the shoes were a shade lighter, but I would call it "denim blue". Also, I ordered another pair in the same size that weren't suede which fit perfectly, but these (suede)were at least a half size too small--go figure. So I'm returning them. Also, other reviewers comments about lack of support are accurate, but the other pair (not suede) were exactly what I wanted and true to size.
