Franco Sarto's extensive experience as a cobbler and his singular vision as a designer made him uniquely suited to start his own line of effortlessly elegant Italian footwear. Impeccable and sophisticated, Franco Sarto shoes are fashioned with graceful lines and rich leathers—making every pair an enchanting homage to the Old World, remade in a beautifully contemporary style.
Awesome shoes. So comfortable. These are my third pair.

Awful bocca upgrade
I used to love these loafers, ive bought probably ten pairs. But the new design is awful, they dont fit anymore. Can you please go back to the old style that worked so well?

Solid shoe
I have been having foot problems for a couple of years now such that comfort is my primary goal at this point, with a secondary hope for something also with some style. I figured this shoe with its classic Franco Sarto square toe would be pretty comfortable. I’ve actually had a similar shoe but with a higher heel by Franco Sarto previously. Anyway, the first day I wore these shoes, they hurt my feet horribly and I was really concerned that I might have made a mistake, but I figured maybe they needed to be broken in a bit. The second wearing was considerably better, almost miraculously so, and now after several wearings, I feel pretty happy to have found them. They now fit basically like they were made for me and I really like that they are substantial and likely to last a long time. I don’t know if the patent leather breaks in as well as the regular leather, which I purchased. I gave four stars instead of five because it would be great if they had more arch support, but the average wearer will likely find the support to be above average for a woman’s shoe. Yes, I would buy them again. Also, while the boxy shape looks masculine in the picture, they wear more feminine than they appear, and it’s not a huge shoe or a shoe that makes the foot look bigger than it is; the style actually looks rather small in person and they look tailored on. They look stylish and of very good quality on the foot with jeans or pants/trousers. Can be worn with casual or dress pants, so versatile. A good everyday shoe. You will be comfortable but will look and feel like the opposite of a slouch while wearing them. Recommend.

Love these!
This is my 3rd time buying these. They are so comfortable and they have adequate toe room. The low heel is just enough (I’m not a fan of flats). The leather is real and soft and durable.

Nice Shoe
This is a quality shoe - very sturdy and is nice looking even with the wide toe box (which I like). I gave four stars because I want to break them in more to determine exactly how comfortable they will be - right now they are a little stiff but that is OK because they are new.

Beautiful classic shoe but runs slightly large
I purchased these in merlot size 10 and they look beautiful. The toe box is very comfortable. My only complaint is that they run slightly large all around and slip off my heel. Will keep them and wear with thicker socks because there is no 9.5 and I love the look Otw.
