Reviews

I LOVE this shoe and

"I LOVE this shoe and wanted it to work. Unfortuately, the edge of the vamp near my bunion hits it the wrong place, and would rub, possibly causing a blister as well as annoyance. I little higher or lower vamp might help, or perhaps a softer leather. I really love these shows and would have ordered them in more colors except for this problem. They fit true to size - the 7. 5M fit beautifully, with the roomy (but not ungacefully roomy) toe box. Again, this is the shoe of my dreams except for that bunion area - high quality, nice style that would be very versatile, comfortable. . . I encourage anyone to give this style a try in you don;t have my "old lady" feet."

Buyer beware!

"I have had a pair of Carson Ballet flats in cognac for 15 years. They are still in amazing shape and just get better with age. I needed a new pair of black ballet flats and went directly to Frye for another pair of my favorite shoes. When I received my shoes there were 180 degrees from my previous Carson flats. The leather was cheap and the soles were rubber (despite the images on the website). When I went to process my return I was advised that they were not returnable, yet not final sale. I wrote customer service with my issue and after two months have still not received a response and my cheap looking shoes are still in the box."

"Sending them back. Very poor quality compared to the pair I bought 10 years ago. Appears to be a different shoe"

I love how dainty these

"I love how dainty these are, and I especially like the shallow toe look for my feet. The only disappointment is they are a bit too big and I was unable to exchange them since they were on sale. I put in some heel pads to help fill the space, but I need to find thicker pads. I have another pair of Frye flats in my size that are perfectly snug, so I was surprised that these run large."
