Customer Reviews Frye Carson Ballet

These are not leather shoes. They are cheap plastic and not normal Frye products. I have been buying Frye shoes and purses for over 10 years and this product does not meet any of their previous quality of craftsmanship present in their women's shoes, handbags, and wallets that I have owned. Severely disappointed in the poor quality of these shoes.

I ordered a 5.5 (36) and was sent a 38 so I can't judge fit but comfort was lacking. There is no arch support and the sole is very hard. Also, I believe my toes would show if it was my correct size. I don't care for toe cleavage.

I was sent the wrong shoe!! The box was correct but the shoe inside was not.

bottom was dangerously slick and hard, a hazard

Have wanted to replace my current pair of Carson ballet which are 6-7 years old and really showing the wear. They have been my go-to flat for their style and comfort, are really beautiful shoes. I love the leather lining and insole too. Unfortunately I’m having no luck this time due to apparent irregular sizing, like some other reviewers. My current pair is 8.5, but tried two pairs and both were too small. For $100 I expect them to fit perfectly out of the box, maybe a tiny tad snug to allow for stretch, but these hurt my feet. So I got a 9 and the left one slid off my foot and the right one was loose. All got sent back, seems like a quality control issue to me. I’m considering trying another color, maybe I’ll get a different lot without a sizing problem. But if they work for you, go for it, the leather is beautiful and they are otherwise well made. BTW I have a pair of Frye boots I love, but had to size down in those to get the right fit.

these are horrible for such a great brand! I bought a half size smaller and they still stretched so much that they slipped off my feet - do NOT buy!

I have - handful of these same shoes but these were awful! Way smaller and narrower, and the leather was stiff- not soft like the others I have in the same type of leather. Total disappointment

There is a defect in front right shoe. The leather has diagonal creases.

I'm a very regular size 8, and these ran a half to full size small. Soles were slippery and shoes didn't bend when my foot did. I should have read reviews before purchasing, but was swayed by the huge markdown. Guess I know why these are on sale! Buy Sam Edelman instead - more color selection and they move with your foot.

This was an exchange and I received a worn-out shoes. I had to make couple calls. The first call with agent promised me I will get a new one the next day and I just have to return the old one. I did not receive one the next day and so I called again. This CS agent was very rude and confronted me as if I was lying about the previous call.

I really wanted to love these shoes. I got the Sage Antique, a nice subtle green, in 7-1/2, my normal size, despite some comments that advised buying a smaller size. I found these to be too stiff and tight, but they were cut so low on the sides that they gapped open when I walked in them. I sent them right back. I hope they fit someone because they are very cute!

Was utterly disappointed by the quality. I have Frye boots and moccasins from years back and these don’t even come close. Not Zappos’s fault. Slipped them on and knew in a second they were subpar. Will return. Will keep looking. Not worth 158. Honestly, Felt like a cheap Nine West or Steve Madden fast fashion pair.

I love Frye products but these didn't do it for me. The reason I love them is because the leather is always so nice and like butta out of the box. These are stiff and uncomfortable and I have enough flats like that. Not sure what happened this time.

This shoe is so narrow. I am so disappointed because the materials and color are gorgeous. This shoe is comically narrow. Maybe I have Flintstone feet but my foot was 2-3 times wider than the show.

I wrote a review yesterday after these shoes arrived and I feel it necessary to add to that after wearing them last night. I felt like I was walking in plastic shoes...no give and they look cheap compared to my old pair of this same shoe. Definitely NOT the same quality...now not worth the money.

I had a lot of trouble with this shoe. It looks so cute, but the sizing is weird. I usually wear a 9, but it was too short. I then ordered a 9.5, but it was too big! My feet are on the narrow side, and these are cut wide, so perhaps they don't fit well on narrow feet. Anyway, I had to return both.

I am EXTREMELY disappointed in this shoe and I am a huge Frye fan. I wear a 6.5-7 typically so I ordered a 7 in this shoe. They were beautiful and seemed of good quality, but so tight and they hurt so bad I exchanged it for a 7.5. I didn't want to risk that they wouldn't stretch. The 7.5 came and its like a completely different shoe!! The leather is a different color, has weird wrinkles and feels much much cheaper. It didn't form to my foot at all, it's just a wrinkled mess at the top. I have no idea what's going on with these but unfortunately they are going back and I'll think twice about ordering their flats in the future.
