Very cute. Slightly tight if
"Very cute. Slightly tight if you have wide feet. My normal size is 7. 5, but I sized up to an 8, as I usually do in Fryes. They are somewhat narrow. I bought the cherry lacquer, and it is a deep mahogany that appears dark brown in indoor lighting, and deep burgundy in bright sun. I wear them with my outfits needing brown shoes, and they are great. Pretty comfortable, although you may want to size up a full size to add an insole if you don't like very flat shoes."

Silver flaking off on first wear
"I wanted to love these shoes but literally less than 500 steps in, the silver started flaking off the left shoe and has only gotten worse through two days of wear. It looks ridiculous and I’m so disappointed because these aren’t inexpensive. This is definitely not the quality I associate with the Frye brand. Would not recommend the silver color."

I've had better
"Definitely gone downhill. FRYE used to be quality and consistency, and now they are letting customers down with poor customer service and low quality, yet still demanding a high price tag. I do not mind making an investment in my shoes, but FRYE is definitely a company who does not back up their product. I ordered these shoes, and they do not fit the details on the website. Sizing is off, I ordered a 7.5, and these too small. The size 8 gives room in my toe box, but then my heel slips out too much. The leather is very thin. FRYE states their shoes can be resoled, but with leather this thin, and a weak sole, how is that possible? I am also upset that they charge for shipping, returns, and any exchanges. FRYE is no longer a great shoemaker, in my book."

"I own a few pair of these ballet flats, and I absolutely love them, soft leather, super comfortable, and they fit true to size"

I wanted to love these
"I wanted to love these shoes so much. . . but the sizing is wildly inconsistent. They also gape at the sides in a very unflattering way. If you want to give them a shot, I would recommend buying from a company with free shipping and returns, because it may take a few tries, and the $12 return fee Frye charges adds up quick and makes it an extra unpleasant surprise when the sizing is all over the place. Personally, I'm just done with Frye, there's other companies that make similar styles but offer way better customer support and consistency across products. This company is not conducive to online shopping. Frye needs to get their QC under control."

Good Looking Shoe - Runs 1/2 Size Smaller
"Nice quality leather but runs 1/2 size smaller than I normally wear. Immediately returned and ordered up 1/2 size for 2nd day delivery, hope this size will work."

Broken Shoe in 2 months
"I’ve had these shoes for two months and the heel is already coming off. Not worth the price."

These shoes are beautiful and
"These shoes are beautiful and well made. The silver is vivid and there is extra cushion support. I ordered my usual size and they are a bit smaller than my other Frye flats. Maybe they will stretch a bit as I wear them."

Beautiful flats. Hoping they break-in
"Beautiful flats. Hoping they break-in over time as they are not made for a wider foot. I’m wearing them though!"
