I ordered two pairs, sizes 7 and 7.5. I've bought several pairs of Frye short boots, and the 7.5 boot fits me perfectly (with thin socks). This loafer style fits differently. For one thing, when I line up the two sizes next to each other, they appear to be exactly the same length; the only difference is that the 7.5 is wider than the 7. But when I put my finger on the tip of my big toe, I've got half an inch to spare with the 7, and almost an inch to spare with the 7.5. Both sizes of the shoes slip on easily. Note: I am wearing them with SmartWool ultra lite (rather thin) socks. I also tried them without any socks and they are way roomy! I have a high arch, but the elastic at the sides allows a fairly comfortable fit even with the high arch. The heels are very well padded and feel just slightly springy. Someone else remarked that the heel "comes up high" but I didn't find that at all; the back of the heel seems normal to me. I got the nubuck mousy color, and it looks great. The tailoring around the sides of the shoe gives a distinctive look, unlike the other brands that do not have the extra bells and whistles. The size 7 fits me like a glove, with plenty of room in the toes. It's just a hair snug behind the ball of the foot where I have a high arch, but I will just use shoe stretch shoe spray and that will fix it. I will also use the water-repellent spray on these nubucks, as I have with my Frye short boots. It doesn't turn them any darker, and it keeps dirt off. The heel height is fine, perhaps less than an inch, but not totally flat, either; has something of a lift. I really like the fit with the size 7, but the 7.5 feels way too roomy, even though I often wear a size 7.5 in other types of shoes, including sneakers. These pull-ons are a great alternative to "sneakers." And they can go with jacket and pants or jeans, which is how I plan to wear them. The relatively soft nubuck and the mousy color are the best choice for me.

I like Frye for the quality; I wouldn't consider another brand.

I'm usually a 7.5 and the 7 fit length-wise. However, as other reviewers noted, these shoes are very narrow – and for the record, I don't have wide feet. The toe box was very very very tight at first.. so tight that it hurt to walk around with these inside, as I was trying them on. I did some research and ended up stretching the toe box using a hard dryer while wearing two pairs of thick wool socks. Took two rounds of this technique to be able to walk in these shoes outside. I thought I was good to go, but I ended up developing some pretty gnarly blisters and then calluses on my pinky toes over the course of a week (walking 3 miles each day). These do not breathe well - my feet got super sweaty in them (not great). No blisters on my heels though -- they're padded and quite comfy right where new shoes usually rub when walking. Within 3 weeks, these shoes are looking rather worn in, but not in a good way - the white soles have yellowed significantly, and the leather didn't hold its shape well. I was hoping these would be semi-professional shoes I could wear at the office, but they're just looking grubbier than I'd hoped. Overall I still like them, but they won't be my day-to-day footwear, namely because of the fit and how quickly they're wearing in. Expected more from Frye, especially at this price point for sneakers.

I love these shoes. They're cute and comfortable. They run big though. I wear a 9 or 9.5 in Asics running shoes. The 8.5 in this shoe fits me.

I loved these shoes-- they were super comfortable and stylish, but then I accidentally got one wet and I tried to blot it dry-- the color came out completely and I now have two completely different color shoes only a week into buying them :(

I just bought my second pair of Fyre Ivy slips in grey nubuck because they are comforable and supportive. I have worn other brands of slip ons, but they did not provide the support, stability, and cushion like the Ivys' do. I can walk all day in them and my feet and back won't ache. These are a great alternative to sneakers-they are more stylish and dressed up looking. The Ivy's run about a half size large in length. They initially fit a little cosy width wise, but do stretch out a bit. These are more narrow than dylan slip, which I found to be too wide.
