The leather on these flats are exceptionally well made. However, the sizing can seem inconsistent for me at times. I went to the store and tried on the size 6.5 in Grey, but it was too tight. I actually had to go up a size, as opposed to down. The ordered the Grey for me in 7, but the color I received had a grey tint and appeared more Taupe like. I can't complain as I've received many compliments on the color of the flat and Taupe is one of my go to colors. The shoe took a day to break in and it's been comfortable since. I wish they would bring back the Blush colored and teal flats!

I have been looking for ballet flats in just the right neutral tan color and I found them! They comfortable and cute, I can wear them to work or for play.

I have had these flats for a couple years, there comfy and go with everything, I have a higher arch and have had a hard time finding flats that will work without hurting my feet, these are comfy, I haven't ever really worn them all day standing, just walking around doing normal errands, but they have done fine and held up really well. I am usually between sizes and went with the 7 but a 7.5 would have probably worked as well

I was looking for a well made basic black flat and thought this shoe would be absolutely perfect. I truly enjoy wearing this shoe now, but it took weeks of me breaking the shoe in to get to this point. They were incredibly stiff for a while and I had to wear blister band-aids every time I wore them. However, once they are broken in they are a good shoe.

Purchased these for my wife as an anniversary gift. She refuses to spend this amount of money on shoes, I just like her to look good. She was immediately taken by the color (deep red) and was very pleased with the look when she tried on the left shoe. Unfortunately the right foot was the deal breaker, she has a bunion and that just distorted the shoe. So we sent them back.

I love this flat! It doesn't look cheap like most do. However it runs small, they really hurt my feet. I'm hoping that I can break them in after a couple more wears.

I had to return these twice to get the right. I ended up getting a whole size bigger than I normally wear. I'm currently waiting on them to come in the mail. Fingers crossed that they'll work this time!

I love the look of these flats, but they're honestly not the comfiest. I normally wear a 6 1/2 and had to exchange for a 7. I'm hoping the leather will break in a bit.

I looked in stores and could only find many very trendy styles, but no just plain black flats. Then I remembered my brown Frye flats that I love so just ordered the same thing in black - problem solved!

Love the style of these flats, however there is zero support and minimal traction -especially in the first few wears. The color is flattering for many outfits and dressy enough for trousers (albeit for a more casual look).

I bought this shoe in Cognac and it goes with everything. Very cute too! For the price I would have liked a little more padding but I'm glad I bought them.

These are a pretty ballet flat and have a bit more structure than some others. I have wider feet and when they stretched out I stopped wearing them as I felt they made my feet look far too wide without the side support. The bottoms are very slick until broken in.

Just got these and they need a little breaking in but they look great. A girlfriend has them and lives in them so I was encouraged to invest in these. They look like they're be the classic go to work shoe. I love them.

I've had two opportunities to wear the Carson Ballet Flats. I have them in charcoal. They work for me and I'm packing them to wear at the San Diego Jazz Festival. I'll rely on them for comfort the entire 5 days.

I love these! The leather is beautiful and soft but sturdy, and they actually have a decent amount of arch support for a ballet flat. I wouldn't necessarily size down, but if you're between sizes I would go with the smaller.

I've been lusting after these shoes for awhile now & thought they would be the perfect replacement for my rundown, beaten-up ballet flats. They fit perfectly in my regular Frye size (a half size up from other brands, a half size down from running shoes), but they gave me toe cleavage. If you're into that or have shorter toes, this is the shoe for you. If not & you have monkey toes like me, pass!

Shoes are very pretty- but actually quite tight and gave me a blister on my heel after 5 minutes. I like them enough to try to keep and get them stretched!

I bought these in the blue and they are stunning. I wear with orthotics so ordered a half size larger than normal. orthotics fit great. My only complaint is slight pinching around seam on my toes. this may improve with stretching out after wearing awhile.
