Vara Pump

I have them in several colors. Personally I think the original fabric satin bow looks better than the patent leather one. They are narrow enough for my feet but overall still very comfortable. The Vera runs a little large (long) while the Varina is more true to size.

These are adorable, comfortable and very attention getting. The Italian workmanship shows. (You can spot the sad blocky look fakes a mile away). I bought the Bisque and the buckle is very rich and shiny. I own 4 pair of SF Vara and the buckles vary with the style but all mine are shiny and beautiful. The Vara isn't for everyone. This style has shown up in other labels like Tory Burch. (I have the TB black quilted with the gold cap toe). This style isn't for every woman. As another costumer put it they can look "old lady" on the wrong woman. And I have heard that petite women are afraid of looking schoolmarmish in them but I have seen petite fashionistas rock them. But if you take delight in pulling off a look other women can't wear you will love the Vara. Anyone can look hot in stacked platform stilettos - for as long as she can stand in them. You don't look pretty if you are limping. In the Vara you stand out without looking like you are trying too hard and you can wear them all day. When I saw the block heel come back first on the ankle strap sandals it was a visual relief after years of heels getting ridiculously taller and taller. The Vara look very good paired with something unexpected like jean overalls but they look great with jeans, khaki shorts, capris and of course dresses.

Beautiful, elegant and very comfortable shoes. Shining leather finishing makes you feel like a princess. Go with both formal and casual dresses, heels in perfect height, neither flat nor too high. Expensive but totally worth it. I bought both black and beige color.

For Years I have worn this shoe & bought it in every fashion colour that came seasonally to the Tysons Corner, Va Flagship store! Sadly seasonal high fashion season colours & nubucks & patents were discontinued many years ago! Now, I see the Vara has returned to many stores . But sadly, I can not purchase any--NO store carries Vara in size 11 NARROW in any colour selection.! (No, not even San Frans A. Beren's! ) Am I the ONLY 11 Narrow.....? I KNOW I am NOT--according the Nordstrom's sales associates! But the buyers won't listen to them ."if I had it in 11 N I'd sell a ton of them" is what I hear at all stores ! This VARA Ferragamo shoe is comfortable, stylish, classic, sophisticated, and goes with everything from jeans to gala wear! It goes from morning till evenings; Including on Mass transit, sidewalk walking, professional standing careers, dancing, and every place else! Please bring it back for those of us who always counted on finding shoes at the OLD Nordstrom's business ethic that started as a shoe haven for those of us with hard to fit feet! I mourn not having any shoes to wear! (and I wont tell you how many times my classic collection of Varas have been resoled!) Barefoot in DC

I got the New Bisque Patent color and the shoes are fantastic! You can wear the shoes with skinny jeans or a conservative dress for the office. The width may be a bit narrow, because I think I have narrow feet and the shoe fits me perfectly. The heels are very very comfortable and appropriate for walking around in the city.

I buy good shoes. This Ferragamo pump has been around a long time, and is a timeless classic. The Quarzo Fume calf leather is a beautiful rosy neutral. Unfortunately the toe box is not high enough for my toes, and the next size up is too long for my foot. Sadly, I returned them.

The only difference between Vera and Vera 1 is the buckle color. Instead of gold, this is chrome. I used to purchase 7.5C from Ferragamo, but for this pair, 7.5B fits perfectly and my feet were swimming in 7.5C. This is the same for both Vera and Vera 1. I wore the shoes for two days in a row to work; no blisters and no discomfort at all! The only complaint I have is that I have noticed that my feet don't breath well in Ferragamo patent shoes compared to their non-patent shoes. Otherwise they look fabulous!

I love these shoes. They remind me of the 50’s-60’s when women had the nice put-together look with an elegant dress and a nice purse. I did have a problem with the sizing and had to go up a half a size but exchanging the shoes at the store was a breeze.

Knowing this brand will be too narrow for most women. But I saw size C, decided gave a try. No, still narrow than most B. Totally lost confidence for this brand. Unfortunately returned.

I must have tried over 10 pairs before I found something that looked good and felt comfortable - and this was it. As I write the review I have not yet worn it for any length of time, so I can't vouch for that. I am just hoping all the other reviewers are right, because this is a lot of money for a shoe that I won't be able to return once I have worn it. I have worn B width all my life. But this was the first shoe where I felt the C width would be a better fit. I was able to wear the B width, but it did not look fully right on the sides, so went for the C width.

I recently received these in the plain black leather. I was tempted by the pink suede but knew that I couldn't wear them enough to justify the cost. After waffling, because of the cost and the fact that they are very conservative for my taste, I decided to keep them. I don't think I will regret it. They instantly elevate jeans and a white shirt to a whole new level. Since I live in a city and walk everywhere, I spent an extra $30 at the cobbler to have the soles replaced with vibram. The shoe has a beautiful leather sole, but I plan to wear it as long as possible, and this will increase the life of the shoe. Highly recommend this, even though it adds to the initial cost.

I have four pairs of the Vera pump. They are the most comfortable pumps ... probably the only really comfortable pumps ... that I own. My true size is 11.5 M. So I have both the 12 and 11 in the pump and would say that they run true to size, i.e. the 11 is a smidge tight and the 12 is a smidge large.
