For over 25 years, French Sole Shoes, a tiny store in New York City’s swank Upper East Side, has been home to the world’s largest collection of ballet flats. From New York’s social elite to movie star icons and even royalty, all have flocked to French Sole’s unpretentious haven for the best ballet flats found anywhere. Via its iconic store and globally through its FS/NY brand, French Sole sells a wide array of ballet styles in over 300 treatments, ranging from animal prints to its own exclusive materials. Fusing true fashion with cozy comfort, French Sole puts the emphasis on proper fitting.
The design of the shoes is what makes French Sole stand out from the plethora of companies that have sought to emulate their formula for success. Only French Sole combines a true ballerina fit (each shoe molds to the wearer’s foot) for the ultimate in comfort with cutting edge fashion and a selection that is unmatched – qualities that clients come to expect and appreciate from French Sole Shoes. But aside from the myriad variety of ballet and other shoes available, it’s the people behind French Sole that have really made it a success.
French Sole Shoes is owned by Randy Ochart, who has passionately focused on designing, manufacturing and marketing the hottest ballet flats in the world from Spain, Italy, France and Brazil. When asked about the future of ballerinas as a category, Ochart explained, “In a phase when it seems that everybody feels the need to re-invent the ballerina, we stand alone as specialists. The extraordinary factories we have worked with for so many years understand the distinction between a ballerina and a flat shoe with a string attached.” The fit, look, and “hand” of a ballerina is what French Sole is about, not just a hot trend.

French Sole Rebel
I love my shoes - I love the look of these shoes; every time I wear them people notice them. The only draw back for me is the elastic in the back is a bit irritating at first.

French Sole Schooner
A cute shoes - It’s a good one. If you’re going to buy it, get the one that is one size larger or one and half size larger would be comfortable. :)

Love This Ballet Flat!It took 3 tries to get the size correct, but after going up a full size, this shoe is perfect!I was afraid it would slip off being a bigger size than I normally wear, but the elastic sides worked out perfectly. Just a plain black leather ballet that is comfortable. Perfect with so many outfits, but hard to find until I found French Sole NY! Love them. Thanks to Zappos I can wear them one day after I placed my order. Can't get any better than that.

Cute everyday flats - These flats go with everything and are very comfortable. I usually wear a size 9, but after reading other reviews, ordered these flats in size 10 (black leather). They are perfect; no issues with the elastic or any break-in period (which is good since I run after three little boys daily). Just wish the toe was a little less rounded. As always, Zappos service was excellent for this purchase.

Perfect Flat - I've never been a flat shoe girl but who am I to buck a trend (especially when the shoes look so comfortable)? So I searched all 20+ pages on Zappos for the perfect flat and after much research I bought these shoes in black. I absolutely love how cute they are! The first two days I had to wear band aids but now these slip on easier then my beat up Nike sandals. I'm ordering them in cognac! Great flat! I ordered a half size up.
