Customer Reviews Chinese Laundry Easy Does It Flat

I have a collection of ballet flats, but I wanted something with a slightly different silhouette, and these shoes caught my eye. I loved them from the moment I took them out of the box and slipped them on, and I've been wearing them (over bare feet) pretty much ever since. I ordered a size 7 1/2, which turned out to be the right choice. (I am a B width and can sometimes wear a size 7, so it's always a toss-up if I'm ordering online.) The pale taupe color is perfect: these shoes don't draw attention to themselves and look really good with my favorite cropped jeans (any color) and also with an ankle-skimming black skirt I bought for spring. They have man-made uppers, which means they aren't actually leather and don't "breathe." I do notice that my feet start to sweat a little after I've worn these shoes awhile, but they're so easy to just slip off and back on again (to let a little air in), that I don't feel this is a problem. I'm most comfortable in shoes that are completely flat -- my days in high heels are definitely behind me. If you're looking for a pair of shoes that are comfortable, casual, but with a touch of sophistication, these are for you! I'm actually tempted to order a second pair so I'll have them when my current pair wears out.

Really nice style and good looking on my foot, unfortunately I paid attention to other reviews and decided on a half size smaller. Did not fit and I am going to try to get my regular size. I bought black suede, 6 1/2.

These shoes are SO comfortable! I was doubtful of comfort because of the narrow toes, but my feet feel happy and these shoes are gorgeous!!! I am thinking of getting the black and the red ones!

I love these shoes! I bought them in bright navy 6 months ago and every time I wear them I feel like they really lift my whole outfit. They're comfortable and they've worn extremely well. The toe is very pointy but not at all uncomfortable.

Perfect shoe. Comfortable and stylish. Am a 6, so got a 6, and it fits perfectly.

So cute! Dressier than regular round toe flats - love the different colors. I also have the green pair. They rubbed my toes a little at first but I just walked around my house in them with thick socks...seemed to solve the problem by stretching them out a smidge. I wear a 9.5/10 (depends on the shoe) and ordered the 9.5. Felt like this was the right size.

Love the look of the shoe, just wished they fit me. They start out good in the morning, then after walking around I end up walking out of my shoes. Going to try some inserts to see if that will make a difference.

This shoe turned out very comfortable after a few uses. At first it hurt the back of my foot, but it now fits perfect. I did buy a half size larger based on the suggestions of other buyers and that was in fact the best fit. Otherwise it is really cute. I wear it to work and on the weekends.

I purchased these in the black leather and I am in love! They are perfect for dressing up or down and they fit true to size. I normally wear a 6.5 and I ordered a 6.5 and the only issue I have is that the front is a little wider than my foot. It does not affect comfort or wear though.

I love these shoes. So comfortable and super stylish. I have black suede and taupe suede and now I'm considering getting black lace. Must have!

Cute, comfy and stylish. I love the straight vamp. I wear a size 10 and I feel my foot looks a teeny bit smaller as compared to a lower cut vamp. I think it looks edgier than a ballet flat, which better suits my aesthetic. I recommend a heel pad to help stop slipping and a pad across the underside of the vamp makes my foot feel more stable when wearing tights.

These shoes are GREAT! I have them in two other colors and find that they are extremely comfortable and give a nice long line to leggings/jeggings. I prefer the pointed toe for a more polished look rather than a rounded ballet shoe. I plan to purchase more colors,that's how cute they are!

I was worried about the pointy toe, but my toes were not scrunched. The shoe is quite comfortable. I have worn these with a formal dress at a wedding, to work with a suit, and to movies with skinny jeans.

Great shoes with a sporty look. Very comfortable but no arch support. Did not have to break them in. Looks good with dress pants or jeans. I wear a 5 1/2 and they were true to size.

I love these shoes so much that I bought them in red as well. Very comfortable and stylish. I typically wear between a 7.0 and 7.5. The 7.5 is a great fit for me,so if you're between sizes, order up.

I just ordered these in the taupe suede and I love them! I should preface by saying my feet are extremely narrow but I found these to run large (contrary to other reviews). I am a size 7 in all shoes I own - heels, flats, sneakers. I had tried these shoes on in store and they only had a 7½ which was way too big, so when I found them on Zappos I knew that I would need to go smaller than my normal size. I ordered the 6½ and they fit nicely, I did stick a heel pad in because my foot has been slipping out a little, but I am pretty sure that is because of the narrowness of my feet.

These shoes are really amazing. Very similar to the $500 Jenny Kayne shoes at a fraction of the price. I was worried about the quality but I've worn them to work, on a bike, dancing, etc and they have held up great! A tiny bit stiff at first but get much softer once worn. They look great with anything from cocktail dress to jeans. I want to order a 2nd pair in case anything happens to these ones!

Finally some nice looking, stylish flats! I love these so much I have three pair. They are very comfortable and can be worn all day.

Love the black suede but it was too big which contradicts the other ratings. I'd say order a few sizes and keep the one that fits.

First of all I have to say that I LOVE THESE SHOES. Zappos didn't have my size when I wanted to order, so I ordered from somewhere else. I normally wear a size 9, but had to return the first pair for a 9 1/2. I'm 5'9" and I just like the way pointed shoes look on me rather than the rounded toe flats that have been in style for the last few years. There was no need to break in these flats, and often times I'm in them all day. I loved these shoes so much that I ordered an extra pair for when the current ones wear out, and now they have the extra colors besides the black that I ordered. Super cute with jeans or leggings!

This shoe is very flattering, and doesn't take anytime to break in. I got this shoe in black in a 7.5. My size is between a 7.5 and 8.

This is my favorite summer shoe. It is on trend with the multi-media construction and looks great on the foot. Goes great with rolled up skinny jeans as well as skirts. I've had people stop me in shopping malls and ask where I bought them. Definitely worth the money.

I am in love with these shoes. I got them in taupe. I am 99.9% sure, however, despite the description here, that the material is micro suede and not real suede (which is actually better for a light colored flat -- less dirt and stain worries), so don't count on stretching. I usually wear a 9 1/2 in pointier toe shoes, but sized down based on reviews and descriptions read on various websites -- this was a good move; the 9s fit perfectly, and are comfortable right out of the box, I am coming back to order another pair in a color or the fabric stripe. So cute! Great for work in warm weather.

Super cute, and fairly comfortable after a couple days of breaking them in. I got my standard size -- 6 -- and the back of the shoe did rub against my ankles a bit the first few days. I put band-aids on the area. After a couple days, the shoes had stretched enough where I didn't need band-aids anymore. Now they are my go-to flats.

Returning these. I ordered the black and the bottom of the shoe (forefoot part) is covered in a sueded velvet-like material. Are these house slippers? From just taking a few steps in my home when trying them on, the fabric-like part on the bottom of the shoe already shoes wear. Bizarre!
