Customer Reviews Frye Carson Ballet

I've owned multiple pairs of Frye Carsons, love them.

I got these in black and they're great. The seem well made and have a premium feel to them. With more professional clothes they can have a fancier look than is conveyed in the product images. They fit comfortably, the only break in factor is the leather sole (the slippery-ness some people mention), this was resolved for me after one day of actual wear. The toe box is a good size, I have longer toes and there is no toe cleavage factor in these. Also note that Frye has a year warranty for these shoes.

I really like these shoes. They make my size 11 feet look smaller, which is definitely a plus. I have ordered 4 colors. The black and dark brown fit me perfectly because I need a more narrow width, which is why I indicated they felt too narrow for a medium width shoe. The grey also fit perfectly, but the color was odd. It was pretty, but it wasn’t what I would call grey. It had a slight lavender cast to it. I received the last available pair of the beige today, but I am sending them back because they are too loose. They are more of what a medium width should be. I wish that all colors in the same style would fit the same, but Frye shoes and boots are not consistent in their sizing. That doesn’t stop me from buying their brand, which I love. I also normally need to wear shoes with good arch support, but these are very comfortable.

Beautiful, luscious shoe!! I've had my eye on these for a while. They fit like a glove!!

This is a lovely versatile little shoe. Comfortable to wear all day right out of the box and true to size. Unfortunately, the first time I wore them my right shoe squeaked so badly I returned the shoes. I have reordered a second pair and so far no squeak.

This is my second Frye ballet shoe. This present shoe fits a bit more snugly than an earlier flat I ordered years ago. The first shoe has lasted well, but after 3 seasons, it is showing wear, especially the leather sole is worn to nubs. Other reviewers mentioned the sides of the slipper seem low, I agree. My second shoe seems a bit narrower, which is OK with me. I look forward to many years enjoyment. Both colors I've tried, red and now a grayish neutral are super nice and coordinate with many outfits. The earlier shoe was so large it slipped in the heel, but I wore it because it was so pretty. I'm looking forward to a slip-on that does not fall off my foot.

These shoes fit me perfectly. I wear a size 7 1/2 and I was surprised how comfortable they were as soon as I put them on. I have worn Frye boots before and they have taken a while to break in. I wanted shoes for dancing that would glide easily across the floor. These fit the bill perfectly and I really like the muted colors. I have a red pair and just purchased the green color. The only draw back is that they are slippery to wear out as casual shoes. I feel a little precarious walking in them....the downside of sliding easily across the dance floor.

Carson ballet is my favorite Frye shoe. Great brand and wonderful colors, I have quite a few colors and love them all. Very comfortable from the first day you put on, no breaking in. You can’t go wrong.

I have these shoes in various colors. They are perfect for work because they are super comfortable to walk around in all day and they look great with anything - suits, dresses, skirts, etc.

The Frye Regina Ballet in the same size fit me, but the Carson was small in comparison. Will have to order a half or even whole size larger. Beautiful color.

My absolute favorite flats. I own them in 3 colors, and have gotten rid of all of my other flats. I do think that the soles wear through rather quickly for the price of the shoe, but they look great and are comfortable, and I do wear them almost every day, so I will continue to buy them.

Classic & durable. I’ve purchased this in several colors, and will continue to do so!

These shoes are great -- so well made and classic. They are of obvious quality when compared with other leather flats I've tried, and I now own them in two colors. They broke in after about 2 days of walking in them and now fit like a glove. They are a little slippery on the bottom initially, but that improves with time too.
