    Surprisingly comfortable! I am slowly working my way back to wearing a higher heel after wearing flats for years. I recently purchased this show and not only is it sexy, it's surprisingly comfortable! I was able to wear them the day I received them all day long with no rubbing (blisters), no toe cramps, nothing! Franco treats your feet right!

    Brands I'd also recommend: Any Franco Sarto, Via Spiga. Italian shows RULE!

    Buy these!!! I LOVE these shoes! I typically can't tolerate heels, but these are comfortable and a little sexy- a rare combination! I have wide feet and a very high instep and these shoes work for me.

    Sexy but Not That Comfortable Shoe looks great. Unfortunately, they rubbed me the wrong way. By mid-afternoon, I was developing a blister on the inside of my heel. I'd go a little wider next time.

    The red patent is actually tomato red. Not at all like the photo on the site. They would be great with a mini skirt or shorts if you pick a different color.

    Wow! Sooo comfortable. I wore them the first day that I got them at work all day and they didn't hurt at all. They fit like a glove on my feet. I got them in the silver and they ran true to size!

    Franco Sarto Avanti CUTE! These are ADORABLE! Even better on than the photos. I thought they were going to be uncomfortable at first but they are not, and they seem like the leather will even soften up a bit after wearing for a longer time. The wedge heel is not high, but is sculpted so it looks really sexy. I like them so much that I'm thinking of buying the blue ones (I have the black and white) which is something I never do. Zappos as usual is the best of the best.

    Style and comfort - I have short wide feet but the medium width fit perfectly and they support my high arches. I was hoping to find shoes that I could wear panty hose with, however, the peephole is very large and pantyhose would not look good.

    CUTE AND COMFORTABLE! These shoes are absolutely GORGOUS! I fell in love with them from the second they arrived. Wearing them to work daily, on my feet for 4 hours, no problem! And they stand out because of the patent leather-- love them in navy, thinking of ordering more so I'll never have to say goodbye to them :)

    Beautiful patent - This is a beautiful shoe with much versatility. One can wear it with a dress/skirt, pants or capris. The one thing you must remember is that patent is never a soft material, and therefore a bit on the stiff side for an all day shoe.

    I love Franco Sarto's Avanti! I bought this shoe in 2 different colors - the black & white, and the pewter lizard. I usually wear a 7 N which is very difficult to find, but I always wear a 6.5 medium in Franco Sarto (they seem to run a little narrower than other brands). These shoes fit & look great - I might buy it in more colors!

    Beautiful, chic, and you can walk to dinner! I adore these - I have them in black. I can walk a half mile to the office in these with no problems and spend all day at work in them and walk home. I do put band aids or tape around my big toes to prevent rubbing on my large feet, as when I wore them the first time I wore them for a few miles of walking and I did get painful blisters on the tops of my big toes. I find that with all dress shoes I need to break them in a bit before I start running all over town in them. But now they are quite comfortable and lots of room in the toe box.

    Awesome Shoes - I find heels quite uncomfortable, but when I laid eyes on these, I couldn't resist. Not only are they great looking but they look great on! The best part - they are supremely comfortable. I wore them out, even though my feet were a bit cut from another pair of shoes, and felt absolutely no pain! They didn't even aggravate my other cuts. I have never been more pleased! You'll love them!
