Customer Reviews Jessica Simpson Mandalaye Flat

I purchased 4 pairs of this lovely shoe. I was 64 when l first bought the black then followed at intervals with the ballet pink, rough toupe and smooth tan followed. Knew they were designed for younger women but life is short. This shoe wasn’t around in my glory days, lol, so l enjoy them now while l can. One review lamented on how the low toe revealed her bunion; one reason l love them is how the bunion is free and hurting from rubbing the inside of a shoe. I am a barefoot person as soon as l get home but this shoe is comfy as a Daniel Green slipper. The nice wide elastic straps give great support to my weary, collapsed ankles. I can wear this shoe from morning to bedtime and only Minnetonka moccasins have fit that bill for me. I adore these. Yes, uptight people see my shoes first then my wrinkly face and white hair and may feel smug satisfaction they are not an old woman who looks ridiculous in shoes like ballet toe shoes. So what. I hope they shed inhibitions and wear lovely shoes not made for grannies when they reach my age. The shoes are very well made from excellent materials and fabrics and have held up like brogans, lol, look that shoe up! I wear these shoes with jeans, slacks, skirts, dresses (longer hems enhance the look) and loungewear. Everything. Sadly l missed out on the beautiful striking navy made about 3/4!years ago; it was an amazingly deep blue. I hope you find these as lovely too. If not, Zappos will surely have a few dozen you’re sure to love. Wear what makes you smile. My heels had their time and place for 40 years. Now I’m thankful for such a great combination of comfort and beauty.

I'm a standard 8.5 and these shoes fit true to size in length, but the width was off for me. I do have a narrow-ish foot, but I'm generally fine without going to a truly narrow size. In general, the shoes were lovely and soft, but the width (particularly in the front foot) was a turn off. Additionally, the entry mechanism - sliding your foot through the straps, rather than a zip back - was cumbersome and didn't offer a truly snug fit. Additionally, it felt as though the straps would get very stretched out very quickly - thus the shoes have been returned. Instead, I purchased the Kenneth Cole Reaction Pro Time (in my standard size) and am incredibly happy I did.

A tad short in the toe, but look great. Are quite comfortable to walk in as well. I am an older woman, and although these might look too young for me, I really like them. Very stylish. And the heel cannot slip, like a lot of flats do.

How adorable are these shoes?!?! They are comfortable, well-made, and a beautiful style. Unfortunately for me, there was not enough coverage of my foot. The vamp went right exactly to the ball of my foot, leaving my bunions sticking out. The shoe as much as accented and displayed my bunions. Not a good look for me at all! I was so looking forward to wearing these but sadly will have to return them. If you don’t have bunions, they’ll probably work for you.

These are so cute and comfy! I have trouble finding flats that fit well because I have short toes -- my foot tends to slide forward in the shoe and then the heel rubs or flops around rather than staying put. My other flats all either have elastic or are wide enough I can size down for length. These fit great, because although they are a tiny bit long for my foot, the straps keep my heel from sliding. I love the ballet shoe look which will be nice with skirts and cropped pants. With long pants, the straps are covered so they will just look like regular flats.

The 8.5 fit like an 8.5 for me. The issue was zero arch support or really even structure. The shoe felt cheap and the leopard print looked like a pair I had picked up for $20 earlier in the week and also returned bc they looked cheap. I think maybe the black leather would be fine but the print with the black straps (which were visible even with tailored work pants) just didn’t work for me. Also, when putting them on, I could completely flatten the sides of the shoes (hence, no structure) if I accidentally stepped on them while trying to slide my feet in.

This shoe is very comfortable. The color is just as pictured. Close to the actual color of a classic ballet slipper. It is a great value, especially when compared to the $400. Chloe version! I love this shoe. Cute with jeans, or a longer skirt.

Love these! 2 people have stopped me on the street and I watched them pull them up on the Zappos app to buy right there.

Love the shoe. Found them on Zappos even after they were sold out. I got a notification of when they were back in stock.

I just purchased my second pair of these shoes because I love them SO much. I am a pharmacy student and am often required to stand for long periods of time during work and clinicals while also being expected to look nice. These shoes are so comfortable that I don't mind wearing them all day, and the ballet style is super cute without being excessive. I own both the black and the brown colors. I feel like the brown color is more comfortable, so if you're debating, go with the brown!

I don't usually write reviews, but finding comfortable and attractive shoes is tough, so I had to write one for these shoes. The other reviews convinced me to try them, and I'm so glad I did. I am a retired teacher who now works as a substitute teacher. I am never sure how much walking I'll be doing each day and so I need reliably comfortable shoes and these are. The first time I wore them they were comfortable all day long. I do wear them with tights and the size was spot on and the padding was delicious. They are also so cute that a student in one of the classes I had asked me where she could get a pair. For a teenager to ask an old teacher that question is high praise indeed!

Soooo not my normal funky style, but I fell in love with how cute they are and especially the neutral nude color. I think the squared toe gives these a little edge, more so than typical cutesy flats. They are so comfortable! Many flats wreak havoc on my plantar fasciitis, but even with their minimal support, these don't bother me. I think they are extremely cushioned. I get compliments on these every time I wear them. I've worn them with shorts, leggings, and jeans (which I always cuff to show off the straps).

I came across these while on the hunt to fill the void of my longtime favorite ballet flats that had bit the dust & were too worn out to be seen in. (They were Charles David but are no longer being made.) These were so similar with the criss cross band, classic ballet look, and real leather! (Not to mention they are for sure a dupe for the Chloe ballet flat that is way out of my budget!) I originally ordered a 6 1/2 bc this is typically my go-to size however I did feel they were a half size to big so I exchanged for the 6 & they fit perfectly! Zappos did the quickest and easiest exchange and both pairs were in great condition and packaged well. I will definitely be ordering a back up pair of these soon, & in other colors as well!!! Jessica Simpson's shoe game is on point!

Love these shoes. I found them to be comfortable immediately. Always getting compliments on them, but most importantly, I love them.

These shoes are adorable but they are a little too flat for me.

I fell in love with the Chloe ballet flat similar to these, but like so many others out there the over very high price tag was ridiculous and completely out of the question. I searched and searched for a copy, and finally found these. There are other copies out there as well, but none are as wonderful as these by Jessica Simpson! In fact, I actually like these better than the Chloe original - the box toe is perfect and the blush color superb. The straps on these are much more high quality that the Chloes, too! I absolutely love these shoes! I can honestly say that they are the most comfortable shoes that I have ever worn. They are padded, including the arches and they are soft and light. The fit is spot-on - no need to order up or down. When I can afford to, I plan to buy these in the black and maybe another color if they are offered. Ladies, these are the best, and totally adorable!

These are very cute and comfortable. I chose to add in some "sockless" inserts, also from Zappos. I've gotten compliments when wearing them because the ballet style is unique. They're a versatile black flat. I originally ordered the wrong size and Zappos immediately exchanged them!

This is the best ballet flat I've ever owned! I got the brown pair and they fit great and are super comfortable! Love the look too! I'm so glad I got them.

These are cute and comfortable. The soles are mildly padded and the straps do not dig (my right ankle is bigger than my left due to ankle surgery 20 years ago). The only gripe I have is that my feet get sweaty really quickly in them.

Size and style is lovely, but they crease at the toe box which just bothered me way too much for a brand new pair. I'm guessing it's because I have a wider toe box on my foot than most, but they'll sadly go back.

Wow! Pleasantly surprised at how comfortable these cute shoes are! I wear an average width in size 10 with 97% of the brands that I've tried, so that's what I ordered and they fit perfectly in every way! Plus, they are so darn cute! I bought the camo and the fabric is silky to the touch, which is very nice. I highly recommend.

This is my 3rd pair. I searched high and low for them the last 2 times. That says it all. They are so comfortable and stylish. They make me want to point my toes. LOL

The Jessica Simpson Mandalaye is extremely comfortable. I have received many compliments on the look!

these flats are great! Navy color is classy with work trousers, and the elastic cris cross straps add style and keep the shoe on your feet. the insole padding was surprisingly robust, but not foamy/sweaty. true flats, no arch support, but super comfy nonetheless. shockingly comfy for this price point. they look expensive (leather, style toe shape details, etc).

Very cute shoe. Bought my usual size and it was fine.
