Bought two pairs!!!! I loved these boots so much that I bought a brown pair as well!! They look great with skirts, dresses, pants and jeans-you can dress them up or down. The heel is just the right height!! I ordered up a half size and they were just perfect!!

Tempest 1 - Fabulous! I bought the pewter colored boot and it is not shiny like the black one, so it could pass for leather. The color is dark grey, almost black, and goes with just about everything in my closet. Lots of compliments, heel is the perfect height, and the shaft stays up, making my 15 inch calves look slimmer. I could even tuck skinny jeans into it. A bit stiff around the foot/arch, but a great purchase and yes, get a half size up to make up for the pointy toe.

No zipper Franco Sarto Tempest 1 - The boot looks wonderful, but is horrible to get on and off. Even folding it and trying to get it on that way is a chore. If you want patent boots, make sure to get a pair that has a zipper.

Cute, comfortable boots - Perfect heel height -- low enough to be comfortable, high enough to be stylish. Very comfortable, esp. for a pointy-toe. Calf circumference is a little too big for me, so they don't work so well with shorter skirts, but they are great with pants.

Great for work and play - I love the way these boots look! I work 12 hours a day and wore these-they were great, except near my ankle I developed a blister. I think if I continue to wear them in they will be fine! You will need thin socks as the base is rigid.

Too shiny! This is a fun, fashionable boot that looks good on the foot and flattering at the ankle, and the 2" heel makes it comfortable and still stylish. I usually wear a 9 but went up a full size to 10 because of the pointed toe. HOWEVER, the patent is just not pretty. I want synthetic for vegetarian reasons, and hope it will be restocked in the less shiny material.

Stellar - The boots are lovely to look at and look beautiful on. I am so happy with my purchase. As much as I dislike cold weather, I can't wait to wear my boots!!

Love, Love, Love These Boots - I purchased these boots in black and went back and got the brown. Soo cute. Sort of a dressy western style. Great with jeans and skirts. I usually wear a 7 1/2 but they were pretty snug. The 8 was much better.

Disappointing - Very cheap look for a Franco Sarto boot! I bought these boots as a replacement for my last pair of stretch Franco Sarto's but will be returning them. The cute buttons do not make up for the pleather look of the boot. Order a 1/2 size up--they run small.

First, I want to say that I LOVE the button detailing (so cute!). I will also say that the boot material is much nicer than that of the average stretch boot. However, I think it just comes down to me not being a fan of the stretch boot to begin with. It always seems to look a little cheap to me.

Fun boots! These boots in stretch patent are very cute in an Emma Peel kind of way, but could also go dressy with more conservative winter gear. I have wide feet and usually wear a 7.5 in Franco Sarto but because of the pointy toe, got a size 8 in these and very glad I did. They are snug across the instep, but not uncomfortable. I imagine they will stretch some, too. In any case, if you have wide feet, definitely order half a size up from your usual Franco Sarto size.

Elegant boots - This boot looks double the cost, and is both substantial in appearance, and most fashionable to boot-pardon the pun...I am very pleased with the quality. I don't think it would be comfortable to stand in for long periods, however.
