    Great shoe / great fit - I just received the Avanti in Brown. I love it! It's really pretty and feels very comfortable. Zappos always comes through for me. I had the shoes the next day and love that I can return them so easily if they don't fit or I find they're not what I thought they were.

    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!

    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.

    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!

    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!

    Very cute shoes! The shoes are very cute and I received many compliments on how they looked. However, if you are wide in the toe area, these shoes might give you some pain as they are a bit narrow.

    Spectacular! No wonder there are no more size 10s left! These shoes are nothing short of spectacular...great fit, very smart and versatile, and go with everything, dress up or down. I went to order another pair, different color, gone, but the black suede are incomparable; I love them!

    I LOVE FRANCO SARTO SHOES - This shoe is so comfortable from the first time you put it on. Very fun and stylish shoe. I bought the gray suede pair and they're beautiful. High quality suede and great heel height. I may order more in other colors, like the brown or black.

    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!

    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.

    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 :)

    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.
