Customer Reviews Frye Regina Ballet

Wasn't sure that I liked them since they took me a while to get used to since they rubbed my heel sore. After breaking them I love them!

Love these shoes, got them in the camel color. I'm a 9, and ordered these in my regular size. The band at the heel and the top of the toe box were tight when I first put them on, but the leather is soft, and these have stretched out to be the right size after a few wears. The toe is pointy without looking like witch shoes or making my feet look too much bigger.

Very beautiful stylish shoe. Loved them online. The leather is fantastic quality and smells amazing, the sole is well-constructed with some stitching. But the things were too darn small in every dimension. I am a true normal 8.5 and these really did not fit. I tried wearing them around the house to see if they would stretch a bit, but I couldn't wait to take them off. I really need a 9. If you are looking for a beautiful, well-made, versatile shoe, try these in one of the many colors available, just order a half a size up!

These are made of a very high quality soft leather, very comfortable. They are a little too pointy for me, and show too much toe cleavage. The 9.5 were a snug fit but not too small, the 10 would be too big.

Pros: -the style is good -leather is nice -moderately well made for the price -cute stitching on the back. Cons: -the toe is almost too pointy and elongated -they absolutely run a half-size small -gave me blisters -no arch support. Overall, you can get a better shoe for this price. They are the only flats I liked from Frye, but I get the feeling they won't last a long time. A little disappointed.

These are just what I was looking for! I prefer a pointed, almond toe flat, and was looking for a new pair. I ordered these, the MIA Edie, and the Call it SPRING Janille, all in a 7.5, the size I typically wear. My foot is on the wider side, but not wide enough to wear wide sized shoes. I ordered a size 7 as well, because I tried last season's Frye Carson Perf flat in a 7.5, and it was too big. But the Regina 7 was too tight in the toe, and I kept the 7.5. I rarely spend more than about $75 on a pair of shoes, but since I wear flats so often, I ultimately decided to spend the extra money and keep these. The two cheaper pairs I tried were both too big, and the sides were too low and gapped when I walked. But these fit pretty perfectly all around, are comfier than the two cheaper pairs I tried (as much as a flat with no arch support can be), and I imagine will last longer than the other pairs would have. Definitely worth the extra money. I've only worn them around the house this afternoon, and they're digging into my heels slightly, but I imagine that will get better after some wear. The Cognac color is a really lovely brown. I only wish I could afford to buy these in Black, Beige, and Red as well!

Great looking shoe. Unfortunately, the 8 was too small and the 9 was too big. (I usually am a true 8 1/2.) I have several pairs of Frye boots and haven't had a problem before finding a size that fits.

I ordered the Frye Regina Ballet in Black & Burnt Red. I love the detail on the back of the heel and get many compliments on this shoe. The Burnt Red is a great color. The sizing is a bit off. I am a size 10 in any other brand of shoe, but have to order 9.5 in Frye boots & oxfords. I read reviews that said Frye ballet flats were more true to size, so I ordered a 10. Unfortunately, the ballet flats feel like a quarter-half size smaller and a bit tight in the toe box. I kept both pairs and they have stretched a bit with wear, but I almost think I should have exchanged for a half size bigger, 10.5.

I read a lot of reviews that said go a size down, but I found that my normal 9.5 fit perfectly. They were a little snug in the toe the first day, but now fit beautifully. Nothing rubs, nothing digs in, nothing is too tight. They are very flat...very little support, but if you are okay with that, these shoes are fantastic. I love them and wear them with jeans and navy slacks for work.

Love these shoes! I get compliments all the time. Not good for city walking though; the leather is beautiful and needs to be taken care of, but so do the thin soles.

This is such a classic shape; very Audrey Hepburn. I'm undecided about the added detail at the back (a dangly tail) but the comfort and classic pointy style overrode my hesitation.

Second pair of Frye Reginas, this time in camel. Love the look of these shoes. They are sleek, stylish, and versatile. Seems the sizing/fit/feel randomly run a little different from pair to pair, because while these are still comfortable and a pretty true fit, the first pair I ordered (same size, but dark brown) fit like a glove straight out of the box. With the camel pair, on the other hand, the right foot shoe felt the tiniest bit loose. Not so much that I would size down, but just loose/wide/long enough that I bought a pair of those cushion adhesives and placed one in the back of the right shoe. Now it's perfect. I have worn these straight out of the box, all day to work for two days straight since receiving, and no problems with rubbing, blistering, etc. Loving these Frye Regina flats.

This is a beautiful shoe but very narrow across the width of my foot (where my toes meet my foot) and while I have a little bit of extra width at that spot, it's not absurdly wide. Probably would fit a narrow foot well. I was disappointed because the size was true and the leather was gorgeous in the grey (although it was really more tan-brown-grey than true grey) but they were just very narrow.

It's a lovely shoe & I will keep them, but for the price I could have a little better overall look. They don't look as nice in person as they do in the picture. Nice color & comfy.

I am always a true 6.5 and these were snug. So snug that I think they will not stretch sufficiently, so would need to order half size up. I ended up returning these for the Carson ballets, instead, as these tend to make your feet look long. I thought it was was the style, but then my boyfriend thought they made my feet look big.

This shoe is so lovely. I ordered the black textured Nubuck. I am a pretty true to size 7.5 with a skinny foot overall. I order 8's sometimes for boots or things I'll be wearing socks with. Anyway, I went with the 7.5 and the fit is perfect. It even does slip off my heel a little, so it is definitely not running small. The toe is a little tight but will most likely stretch out. Excellent craftsmanship and a good rubber sole makes it really comfy.

Beautiful shoe, as always with Frye, but fit was awkward. I ordered a size 8, as this is what I wear in Frye's boots, but in their shoe it was a bit too big, and I think a 7 1/2 would have been too small. Will try again on something that doesn't have a pointed toe.

I loved this shoe the second I saw it. I purchased this color and also the brown. However, the fit completely different! The red shoe is so tight I can barely walk in them and the brown shoes are just a bit big! Regardless, I am still going to keep them because they are too cute. I am trying to break in the red pair - hopefully they will get a little looser as time goes on.

These shoes were at least half a size smaller than I expected. I ordered in burnt red and ice nubuck. I am returning both because they are both too small. Color wise the images are pretty accurate. However, looking at the colors in person, I felt they were not what I was looking for. I typically wear a 7½-8 and am returning both to try an 8½ in black

I liked the style of the shoe - a good basic brown flat. Leather feels very soft and nice. I ordered an 8 1/2 since I usually wear an 8 or an 8 1/2. They were really small. I am not sure a 9 will fit. I will probably order a 9 and a 9 1/2. I have never worn a shoe that big before so I do think these run pretty small.

Felt great - leather bottom - oohh ahhh but they were too tight for me. I ordered my size based on past reviews... Also, I don't like toe cleavage so on top of the sausage in the shoe look - they need to go back.

I am a 7.5 and I ordered my regular size. When it arrived in time, thank you Zappos, it felt a whole size larger. Unfortunately you are out of 6.5 and I will return it

Wasn’t super happy with the grey color. They fit true to size but were uncomfortable out of the box. Maybe would have broken in but not worth it IMO. I know Frye has started making more affordable options but I’d be happier paying twice as much for something that was a better quality.

I would have liked to keep these shoes, however, they are just too big/wide. Sad!

Frye quality is definitely not what it used to be. I’ve purchased 3 pairs in an attempt to get an Ash Regina that fits and doesn’t have irregularities. First pair the left shoe was larger than the right, second pair fit like a 9 and I ordered an 8, and the third pair had stains on the leather. Quality control seems to be lacking with their current producers. Stitching is not precise like their previous versions.
