Customer Reviews Frye Carson Ballet

These are fantastic flats. Amazing quality and they fit perfectly. The sole is solid leather so they are a bit slippery at first. Simply scuff them on some pavement to prevent slipping.

Really nice shoe - excellent materials and high quality workmanship. The silver finish is beautiful. My only complaint (if you can call it that) is these shoes run slightly large, and I am a bit worried the leather may stretch. However, this isn't enough for me to rate the shoes less than a 5.

I've only worn them around the house but they're very comfortable, almost like walking barefoot. The soles are a tad smooth but maybe walking on pavement will take care of that. The colour matched the picture. I have wide feet and they fit perfectly so they might be loose for people with narrow/average feet. If they had the maroon or indigo available in my size I'd buy another pair.

Love them! Unique and comfy!

Great shoes! I usually get blisters from flats and these were comfy. I wore them all day for work (I'm a teacher) and they were great.

I ordered 1/2 size smaller than I usually wear to make sure these would fit, even after some stretching. The smaller size is feels great.

I love these! They are soft, comfortable, pretty for a flat shoe. I just wish that Zappos had the color(s) I wanted in my size!

These flats are gorgeous! I love Frye boots, and I am usually either an 8 or an 8.5. I ordered an 8.5 and it was a tiny bit snug at first, but fits great now. Super flattering cut to the shoe. The leather is soft as butter and the sole has a bit of cushion.

Beautiful pair of shoes. If you don't already own the Frye leather conditioning cream, buy it! It makes a huge difference in how long they stay looking as beautiful as the day the arrived.

I love this shoe. I had been looking for something in the blue tones to wear with skinny jeans. This violet blue color works perfectly.

I love these shoes! They felt good the minute I put them on. They are very well made. The leather is soft and substantial. The style is simple and the color (taupe) is subtle. It looks nice with my summer linens. I plan to order more Frye shoes. The leather is so soft I am even thinking about trying their boots. Of course, it goes without saying that Zappos is totally fabulous!

The other reviews said that the shoe ran a little large. I found that the shoe was comfortable.

These are beautiful ballet flats and very comfortable on the first wear.

These shoes are well made (as are all Frye products) and very comfortable. Everyone complimented me on the yellow color of the shoe! The only thing I don't understand is why most other reviewers say that Frye runs big. I felt this ran true to size but maybe even a little too small. I guess if they are hand made you have to allow for slightly different sizing for each shoe. All in all a great ballet flat - has a little more sole and structure than most other flats and that's what I needed.

I love this shoe. I had read the reviews before buying. I had ordered a 9 thinking it would be big enough to put my leveler inside. With my levelers they are perfect. I wear a 9 or 9 1/2. I bought a 9. I had bought another pair in size 9 1/2 because I wanted to wear them to work and had to have my levelers in. They are perfect. So I wear one pair for work and the other on weekends. I love them and the quality of leather is worth every penny.

I bought the dark brown. The color is a beautiful brown and the shoe is extremely comfortable. It is well worth the money based on the comfort of the shoe. Runs true to size.

This is the classiest shoe I have seen in a while. It is beautifully made and I wanted to make it work but tried two different sizes and because I have a narrow foot, I felt like I was going to walk out of them. When I spend this much money on shoes it has to fit perfectly. If you have a medium width foot ..... Lucky you! .... get them in every color!

Out of the box I really liked these shoes. The leather is nice and they look well constructed. They also look nice on my feet and fit well around my heel, but my toes are way too cramped for me to consider keeping them.

Like the style and feel, but it seems like you can see my toes through the leather! Rather odd!

Comfortable shoe, nice leather but does seem to be very expensive for the amount of material in this tiny shoe style. Frye is good quality but I do think it could be priced a bit lower. I have several pair of Frye boots and like all of them. excellent quality, I just don't know why Frye makes so few shoes with any grip, most are very slick on the bottom and this Carson is no exception.

I love these flats! Soft leather and a simple design mean I can wear these shoes anywhere. Beware, the leather sole does make them a little slippery on certain flooring -- even after scuffing the soles.

These shoes feel comfortable like slippers. I have a wide foot, and they do not feel terribly wide, but the leather is soft and I think they will stretch easily. The only thing I will say is that the sole is very slippery. I was walking around my house last night, and slipped and fell while walking in them on my hardwood floor. Maybe they will become less slippery as the sole gets worn a bit.

I bought these in a 6.5 which is my usual size, and they fit perfectly. I can already feel the leather conforming to my feet. They are very well-made, and--if they last--they will be worth the money. The only negative for me is that they're made in China. This is disappointing considering the history and claims made by Frye.

I own several Frye Carson Ballet flats and have enjoyed wearing all of them. The Frye quality is always consistent; however, I wish they had more accurate sizing. I wear a 10M, but in Frye I always order 9.5. As always, I read the most recent reviews and went with my usual Frye 9.5. The Navajo print is beautiful and looks great on my feet, but it is too large. I am going to exchange for a 9 and hope for the best. For further reference, my big toe is about 1/4 inch longer than my second toe. I hope this helps other customers with their sizing concerns. I'm giving this shoe an overall 4 stars based on the sizing.

I added this ballet flat to my collection of Fryes. They have a nice soft inner sole that breathes very well and helps to keep my feet from stinking. The bottoms have no tread and are a little slippery at first. Overall, very comfortable and fits well.
