Customer Reviews Free People Royale Flat

I ordered the Royale Flats in Brown and although I love the design and the fit, the color was not the brown I expected. They were more of a light light grey, brown color. I'm returning and ordering the Taupe in hopes that it will be the dark brown color as pictured.

A totally awesome shoe. Pointy, funky, asymmetrical opening. Great right out of the box. Neutral color will go with a lot.

I bought these- fell in love with them and by the 3rd wearing, my daughter-in-law “borrowed” them and never wore them again. So, I bought a second pair, this time in black, and within a week or two, my daughter “borrowed” them. Only see those when she walks by smiling. I’m going for a third pair. They are adorable. With skinny jeans, pants, skirt - you name it. Within the brief time I actually did get to wear them, I got compliments all the time. I do think they run a bit large. Half size down.

Very pretty and different which is what I was looking for. I am between an 8 to an 8.5. Sadly the 8 was a bit snug and I was not sure how much give I would get and the 9 too big. I wish 1/2 sizes were offered. Zappos is a great shopping experience.

I just... I have no words. I have been dreaming about these shoes for so long and I initially bought an off brand version. They're really cute but all they did was make me want the real things. I received a pair as a gift and let me tell ya.... they are so so much better than the off brand. Sure, they're much more expensive, but I want one in every color. I have the light brown, and I've worn them once and received 5 compliments in one day. Amazing. I want, no NEED, the canary next. I'm on this site now thinking about purchasing them. They are a little small, so I would go a size larger than you're used to. I'm a size 10 and the 41s are perfect.

Absolutely love these shoes! So very stylish and not uncomfortable at all. They instantly loosened up dur8ng the first wear. I have gotten many compliments and have been asked where I got them too.

These are my absolute favorite shoes. I have them in two colors and wear them daily. They are dressy enough to pull off at work, and perfect for jeans and casual too. The leather is soft, which make them really comfortable.

I ordered these in the brown thinking they would look like picture, however they are more of a light brown not rusty color in pic. Free people have a whiskey color that looks like the brown pictured on Zappos.

Love these! I have two pairs-the brown and grey and almost every time I wear either pair I get compliments! At first they were a little snug at the toe box, but they do stretch over time and become insanely comfortable!

Absolutely in love

Love these shoes! Absolutely gorgeous!! Great Fit. I’m size 8 and the 8 fit great!

I am a true size 6 and have been forever. I am very familiar with European sizing and always wear a 36 comfortably. I ordered these in the taupe size 36. They run large/are roomy (this is fine with me as I don't want them tight). I could fit a thin sock underneath or tights if I wanted but am currently wearing them on bare feet. These are comfortable right out of the box but I wouldn't go for a long walk in them. The taupe is really a rich kind of mahogany brown. I'm not used to taupe being an orangey/brown but they are as pictured on Zappos. These are a really sharp and architectural shoe that liven up simple pants and jeans.

This shoe is super cute, I love the design. I am a US size 6, I ordered the 36 and will return for the 35 since they felt a size too large. I received the brown which is lighter than shown. The Taupe is a beautiful and I cannot wait for my size to come in stock.

I have been like goldilocks with these shoes! I was determined to get a pair that fit. I am a 6.5, sometimes a 7 and ever now and then a 6 if shoes run big. My foot measures 9.25" and Im somewhat wide. I originally ordered a pair of these in natural (elsewhere) in a size 36. They were so tight that my toes went numb. No way could I break them in.I returned those and purchased a 37 in gray (elsewhere) and they were HUGE. I finally decided to order a 36 here from Zappos and bought a shoe stretcher to make them fit, just in case. No need! THIS pair of 36's in a Taupe fit perfectly. Im not sure if the size varies from shoe to shoe or color to color but the 36 in Taupe fits right out of the box when the natural did not. Perhaps the natural color fits tighter because there is no hand working with dye applied? Who knows. I like these shoes. The taupe is VERY red in person, more of a lighter chestnut, and mine have lots of over dye spots and distressing. Mine are NOT color fast. So I recommend conditioning them to remove the excess dye. The gray color was lovely so I may buy those next. Thanks Zappos for a quick and easy order!

These shoes are as cute in person as everyone claims! I LOVE them! I spent a few weeks mulling over them bc of the price, but I'm glad I finally made the plunge! They are the kind of shoe you can wear with anything. I am a size 8 in my right foot and almost an 8.5 in my left foot. I got the 38 and it fits perfectly on my right foot and snug on my left. I feel like it will stretch out enough though, so I'm thinking a 39 will be too big. I got the canary and its not quite as dark/richly colored as the computer screen shows, but I still like the color. Overall it is a great shoe and I can see why everyone has raved on here!

I almost never write a review but I had to for these shoes. They are UNREAL! style, comfort, wearability... all A+ and i’m obsessing. I have a feeling by the end of the month I’ll have a few more colors added to my closet. I am usually a 7-7.5 so I ordered the 37 and they fit like a glove. I for sure recommend these babies! Worth the price point.

Love love love these shoes! My only complaint is when I wear sock(in the winter) the shoe eats my sock ??

I have been eyeing these boots for MONTHS and finally ordered. I’m between 8.5/9 and ordered both 39 and 40. 39s were tight at first, but after the first wear, they were perfect. 40s felt giant. I’ve been wearing them everyday. Love them!

So super cute, but the initial pair I ordered had very irregular coloring between the shoes. It was beyond distressed and more like two shoes from two different pairs. So I reordered. The second pair fit my ankle very differently, one was perfect, the other was much more stretched out and bowed :( I am trying a third time because they are so dang cute. But, I'm ordering something else too, just in case the third time is not a charm.

These shoes are like a work of art. They are so beautiful! One shoe was super comfortable but the right shoe was tight and left blisters. I think this is because my feet are different sizes but I felt like if I sized up from my normal size they’d be too big. Run true to size. I wear them when I know I won’t be on my feet for too long but always have blisters on the right foot.

These shoes are very cute, I loved them! However, they were snug on my foot (no sock). I normally wear an 8, I ordered a 38. I do wonder if they would stretch over time as the leather is very high quality but they are so expensive that I didn’t want to hope they would and then have them not stretch. I returned them. I may reorder the next size up in the future.

These are beautifully made with soft leather. The style goes with pants and skirts. I have the canary which is almost a golden camel, and I have black,classic. I put them on the first time and wore them all day. I promise you they are worth the price bc they are luxe leather booties.

Amazing shoe! I bought 4 pair including the open toe style! They've all held up great!

Love love LOVE this shoe! Get SO many compliments on them! Only wish they came in a half size. I wear a 8.5 normally, and the 8 is a bit tight and the 9 is a bit too large. Otherwise, highly recommend this shoe.
