Customer Reviews Frye Sienna Ballet

I have bought Frye Sienna's before and loved them. I bought this as a work shoe and I kept it for 4 days on my counter before deciding I had to return it. It fit well (maybe slightly big since I'm usually 9.5-10 and the 9.5 slipped a little around the heel) but I think given the black sole in addition to the black leather, it felt a little plain and I returned it in favor of something with a little more flair for work.

These shoes are so pretty, elegant, and seem so well made. Unfortunately the Frye ballet-style shoes seem to be too big for me in the heel, in both the Sienna and the Carson Ballet, my heel slips right out. I sized down a half size and same problem. I might try to go down to a full size smaller and see if that fixes it. I gave 3 stars for Comfort because I couldn't walk in these without a lot of effort to keep them on my feet.

I really liked the look of these shoes and wanted them to work so bad I tried them in a 7.5 (too big!) and a 7 (too small!). I am pretty consistently a 7.5 in other brands, but found that was too big with these Sienna Ballets. I have a just-slightly-wider-than normal toe box, but I didn't feel that these were too tight. The midnight metallic color was very pretty and a snazzy neutral that I could see wearing with a lot of different outfits. I wish they worked!

These are beautiful shoes. The charcoal is gorgeous. The sizing is a problem for my feet. I have another pair in a different color and they worked out fine. If you like Frye, these won’t disappoint.

I love these shoes, the charcoal color is a nice neutral that is dark enough for black jeans but isn’t too dark to overpower colored jeans/navys. A very classic shoe and I love the pointed toe! It feels less casual than a round toe, in a chic way! For those looking for a slightly roomier shoe, try Born, those were incredibly comfortable and featured more cushioning, but round toed. I kept both!

Beautiful shoes, but unfortunately I sized up to an 11 and they are too big. Perhaps because I have a narrow, low volume foot, I am better off going with my normal size. The cement is a beautiful gray tending towards slightly taupe. I ended up getting the Carson instead, in a 10, which fits perfectly for me - ever so slightly loose without any gapping. The leather soles are slippery, as expected so plan on taking some measures to prevent injury!

Very cute, obviously high quality shoes. However, the toe box was much too small and they were uncomfortable to walk in. I felt like they were falling off my feet.

Cute and versatile. I wear them to work and out in the evenings. But why oh why do shoemakers not understand that shoe edges, where they meet the skin, should be soft not hard and sharp? I have to wear band-aids on my achilles every time I wear them. C'mon Frye (and others)! Hard leather edges against the skin HURT!

The fit was okay, but the quality was not what I was expecting from Frye. The left shoe was not as polished as the right shoe. For the price, I was expecting a nicer looking shoe.

I REALLY wanted to LOVE this shoe!! It’s beautiful in both shape and color. Very classic and versatile. HOWEVER, it made my toes feel like the bones are truly fractured (for days)! I’d say my feet are pretty “normal” in that I don’t usually have many issues except if the back part (like in Adidas sneakers) are too high and scrapes. My width is relatively “normal”. In these flats my heels lift, and toes are severely squished (which was mentioned in other reviews, however I ignored them). The same size shoe in J.Crew fit perfectly and was comfortable throughout the day. These cost more, and were a disappointment.

The fit on this shoe was all over the map. I have a shallow, narrow foot with a low arch. The 8M in this shoe fit like an 8N or even an 8AAA and was--I thought--just a smidge too short for me. The 8.5 should've fit perfectly but one that I ordered and returned fit as though it had been stretched in length and width compared to the same shoe in a different color that retained the slender profile but fit my foot like it was a size too long. The leather on this shoe is butter soft but the top of the shoe looks to be glued to the sole. Not the quality you might expect in a Frye product. If you are able to settle on a size that fits you, I don't think you'll be disappointed but otherwise the shoe is pretty underwhelming for the price.

I ordered my regular size and it was too karge(I couldn’t hold the shoe on my foot). I returned that and ordered a half size smaller, and this was too short (hurt to walk in). So this pair went back also. Really strange as I own the sling back of this shoe in my regular size and it fits perfectly.

I have consistently worn size 6 in this kind of shoe for the past 5 years. The six 6 in this shoe was so big I could not hold them on my feet. I asked to return them (and Zappo's customer service is WONDERSFUL!) and ordered the next half size down. These were way too short, so I need to send them back too. So sorry because these are beautiful shoes!

This is a beautiful shoe, well made, elegant, only super super narrow!! I am a very true to size 8.5, and my feet arent even THAT wide.. these fit me in length, but would’ve needed much much more room in width. Sadly, I’ve started wearing them, hoping to break them in enough, but they don’t seem to give much! I wish this suede was more flexible. It is, however, very soft, so I stay hopeful.
