Cute shoe but not as comfortable as I had hoped. Shoe is a little tight in the toe box. Fine as long as I am not walking more than a few blocks. Also I thought the charm could be easily removed but more difficult to remove than I thought. Nice looking shoe otherwise.

I love these shoes because they are so comfortable and cute. But the sizing is weird. I have two pair and both are the same size but different color and they fit totally different. One is perfect and the other is too tight. The ones I got from Zappos fit great and the other ones I did not get from here. I know now if that makes a difference or not.

The silver color is just right, not too shiny, but I'm not keeping these for two reasons: 1) the obnoxious SE stitched into the side of the shoe, which seems more obvious in person, and 2) they are squishy in a way that somehow makes them less supportive than the typical pancake-flat ballerina.

I'm a pretty solid 7 and these shoes fit correctly in size 7. The good: love the color (pewter -- very neutral, subtle, versatile) and the padding in the footbed (really nice and comfy). Overall, they were pretty comfortable -- way more comfortable for me than the Cole Haan Air Bacara. The not so good: The elastic on the heel felt a little hurty -- not too bad but there was a red mark on my heels when I took the shoes off. I don't particularly care for the almond shaped toe box -- it was wide enough but it made my feet look pointy. The sole is flimsy and the leather is thin so I felt like they wouldn't hold up very long. The soft thin leather makes the shoe comfortable but it just felt too flimsy too me. I couldn't see paying this much for a shoe that will likely not hold up longer than a few months. I'm also not wild about the bow on the toe and you can't remove it. My search for flats continues.

This are super soft and comfortable! No need to break them in. No blisters or rubbing. But, there is no support! I made the mistake of wearing them a couple as in a row, then had to wear sneakers for the next week due to sore feet. I also bought them in tan. Still a nice basic to slip on. Just not to spend all day in!

I ordered these in the black suede after reading a lot of positive reviews, and I was very much looking forward to receiving them. It sounded like they'd be incredibly comfortable! And maybe they are for some, but I guess I really do need a somewhat more substantial shoe. These are extremely thin and light, and despite a cushioned interior, they're as flat as flat can be, and they felt rather flimsy to me. I couldn't imagine actually walking in them. On the positive side, I like the flexibility of the sole, and they're sort of cute. They have a few decorative details, such as a little tie in front with a gold charm thing (which I could live without) and the Sam Edelman initials subtly embroidered in the back, but really, for the price? It's just a little made-in-China ballet style slipper. Anyway, I was disappointed and I'm sending them back. As ever, I appreciate Zappos return policy which gives you a chance to try something different and return it so easily if it doesn't work out.

Not the quality of shoes I expect for the price; however, I kept them because they're the only ballet flats that fit without putting pressure on my bunion. They're comfortable but only to wear a short time or if you're not going to be on your feet a lot because there is very little padding in the foot bed. I can feel every tiny bump or crack in the surface of whatever I'm walking on and my feet get tired in them after a short time. The right shoe is also different than the left, and it kind of turns onto its side. I had to order 3 different sizes to get the size right but I was desperate for ballet flats. Also ordered the same style in different colors/materials and couldn't get them to fit at all. The leather on this particular color is very soft but very thin.

I have this same shoe in black and wear a size 9. I loved the shoes so much I decided to order the same pair in the color Nude size 9. The Nude color was about a 1/2 size larger even though it was the size 9. I had to check the inside of the shoe just to make sure! Very strange! The "Nude" color is lighter than what you see on the website. It is a very nice neutral color and would compliment just about any wardrobe color. I will be exchanging this pair for an 8 1/2 and see if they fit better. Beautiful, classic lined shoe and very comfortable. No arch support, but very soft material.

I have owned the Felicia's in nude and black for about five months, and wear them on average of once or twice a week. The shoes are cute and comfortable, but I have noticed recently that the color is beginning to fade and rub off of the leather. This is disappointing for shoes in this price range, as I wear them to a conservative office. Otherwise pleased with the purchase.

I have several pair of Sam Edelman shoes and have found the sizing to be inconsistent. After reading other reviews, I ordered a half size up. Too big! They are going back! I also ordered Black/white snake, they look brown.

Love these little shoes but no way are they a size 7.5! I often have the problem of untrue sizes when manufacturers change country of origin. Seems this could be easily avoided.

Personally I love these flats from the moment I tried them on at Nordstrom. They are comfy, a bit tight at first but since they are leather they will stretch out according to your foot width. I have the tan color ones. My ONLY complain, is that these flats make my feet smell terrible!. I have Never had a problem with smelly feet, I even have some similar tan color flats from Target which were only 15 bucks and even those don't make my feel smell like these flats do. They are great, look cute and feel amazing but make my feet stink! I'm not sure if any of you have experienced this. I just put them outside with baking soda to see if they can get rid of that horrible smell. And I will see if that will work or not. hope that was helpful! Oh and if you ask me I will Not be repurchasing Sam Edelman flats ever because stinky feet are not worth the cost.

Well I think these shoes are absolutely cute and it goes with any outfit. But the thing is that when I wore them to go shopping for the whole day, it just makes my feet sore because there's no support at all. I would say the it's a bit pricey and people who wanna buy this one should think a bit and try finding a better ones because you get it.

This is my second time ordering these ballet flats. The first time, I had to return them because the black 8.5 pair I ordered was way too small (I'm normally an 8.5 and my feet are narrow). I exchanged them for a size 9 pair in Evening Rose, and again, I'm pretty disappointed. The Evening Rose in the picture looks like a pale pink shade with some subtle gold undertones. However, in reality, the Evening Rose is much more metallic than the picture. I'd say these are a rose gold or even a bit like copper. The 9’s are still tight across the front, but I won't return them again because it's too much of a hassle to drive to the UPS store. Anyway, beware: The evening rose is not the pale pink with gold undertones that the photo shows. It's more metallic than pink.

They aren't as comfortable as they used to be. Hoping you go back to making them the original way.

Very pretty shoe. These are more comfortable than the stiff leather felicia.but the back cuts into the back of my ankle so bad. It's as if they made it too low. I had to take them off at work. It's strange because the purple velvet felt fine. Maybe I received a bad batch

I like the shoes but returned them because size on box was right but on shoe it said another size. Too small. Hope you will credit my account promptly.

Frankly, I'm disappointed. I have several older pairs of the Felicia and love them but now that there is elastic in the heel in the newer versions, they are uncomfortable. I initially hesitated in purchasing but decided to give them a try. The elastic cuts into my heel and pushes my foot forward. Hopefully, the elastic will relax over time.

I found the sides of the shoe to look and feel too thin and cheaply made so I sent them back. Sad because it's a nice looking shoe and I like the velvet look.

I have many pairs of the Felicia and they are all insanely comfy. This pair is not. It is stiff and the leather feels low quality. My feet were bleeding after one day.

I've worn these shoes in the past, and they were very stylish with pants, capris or skirts. The quality of the shoe now in comparison to maybe three years is something to be desired, the workmanship and quality is much different. I am quite disappointed, I accidentally put one of my shoes in a Goodwill bag and have been waiting to replace it. Needless to say, that's over. I may as well get rid of the other, which is still fairly new!

I bought these 6 months ago and they aged terribly. When I first used them for a week, they already started to fall apart. Now I feel that I have to buy a new pair, I refuse to buy any other brand because I cannot find a simple style and toe comfort like this one. The sole on my left foot keeps coming out when removing my feet, the green foam on the bottom keeps shedding all over the place inside my shoe, I just glued them down. The leather is soooo thin and fragile and a tiny trip will skin the shoe. I also glued the loose broken skin back down. I tried to find everywhere on how to care for these shoes and if there are any protectant sprays out there but everything is for the harder leathers not for the thin delicate leather these shoes have. The bottom of the shoes already have a gap, which again, I glued back down. I wait long to make reviews because I will use the shoe for long term, the comfort was there but now after wearing for a while, the foam has flattened out and the comfort is no longer there. I wouldn't recommend them really. Quality sucks and honestly I don't know what else to do. I really like sam edelman for their quality and comfort in their shoes but these have failed me greatly. I have to maintain these shoes so much its ridiculous.
