Franco Sarto shoe review - I found the shoes to be very comfortable and attractive. They fit perfectly and were true to size. I am very happy with my purchase.

Franco Sarto quality - Classic shoe with the usual Franco Sarto quality and comfort. I have 3 other pairs of FS shoes, and I needed a half size larger in this particular style. The toe is less boxy than that of the Franco Sarto Bocca. I had shoe trouble my whole life and wore frumpy footwear until I discovered Franco Sarto two years ago. Now I can wear pumps or flats and expect to be comfortable and stylish all day long!

Disappointed - I was disappointed with my purchase of these shoes because they do not have the matte finish or the soft comfort of the brown pair I already had. Sarto should make a matte finish, soft black leather pair. The fit is fine, but I am considering returning these shoes.

Love these shoes! I have been wearing Franco Sartos for years. I feel as if this is the only shoe maker who knows my size! They are always dependable and consistent with their shoe sizes. These shoes also wear for years! I had my last pair of Franko black loafers for at least 4 years before replacing them with these. Love FS!!!

Perfect! These shoes were so comfortable from the first time I put them on! I wear them almost every day at work. It's my third pair of Franco Sartos - they are my go-to shoes for wearing with slacks at the office; they look professional and they wear very well!

I was looking for a pair of stylishly classic black loafers -- and these shoes are almost perfect. The look is exactly what I was hoping for, and I was able to wear these shoes comfortably all day from the first time I put them on. One major problem though: the heels were extremely slippery, and I skidded a few times before taking them to a shoe shop for new heels -- adding to the overall price of the shoe. These are well-made shoes except for that critical problem.

They look very nice and they are very simple, and definitely well-made. The heel is actually stacked and the soles are real, not the rubber junk some shoes are made of. However, this shoe runs small, lengthwise. I ordered 9.5 and have to exchange for a 10, which I'm not even sure will fit. Normally I wear between a 9 and a 9.5.

I bought a pair these in brown croc and they are true to size, comfortable and professional looking. I was surprised at how shiny they are - they are patent leather, so they aren\'t as much of an all around shoe as I hoped, but I like them. The soles are still a bit hard even after wearing them several times, but maybe insoles will help if there is room.

Franco Sarto's Cash is a great business shoe! These are fantastic shoes, very comfortable and super looking in the brown shiny croc finish! I have a slightly narrow foot and need some arch support for my feet. These shoes fit me perfectly and are oh so comfortable to wear! Perfect with dress slacks!

The Franco Sarto Cash go nicely with a Pant Suit. They are a great office shoe especially if you have to be on your feet all day long. There was a brief break in period as when I first tried them on they felt a bit tight, but they loosened up right away and were comfortable from then on. The bottoms are a bit slick, so you have to be careful when you are wearing them for the first couple of times. After that the soles don\'t appear to be too slick.

Cabrio - They are not quite what I expected and took a little longer to break in than the oiled leather pair that I own. But once done they were comfortable.

Relief - I own 5 pairs of Dansko's and they are the most comfortable shoes. If you need to stand a lot, especially on concrete floors, these are the shoes for you.

Best Value and Best Shoe! I wear these almost everyday, and when I don't, my feet miss them! They take a while, a good couple days walking around New York to break them in, but after that, you'll swear by them and want to join the Dansko cult. You won't be sorry! I'm a 6.5 and a 37 is the best fit. Make sure your toe does not touch the top of the shoe and you're golden.

Love My Shoes - The Dansko shoes that I ordered are very comfortable. I broke my foot this last summer, and had to have a pin put in it. These are the only shoes that I can wear that I get full range of motion in my foot, and are trendy to boot!

So Cabrio - I am really enjoying the Dansko shoes I purchased from Zappos.com. Also Zappos had the most amazing customer service, and I will definitely shop with them again soon.

GREAT shoe! Very comfortable and protective from the rain, snow and slush. I love them. I bought my daughter the blue ones and she loves hers as much as I do mine. Remember to water-proof. We had it done in the airport by the shoe shine guys. Thank you for a wonderful product.

Dansko - These shoes are excellent! I bought them strickly for a job that required long periods of standing, but because of their comfort, I wear them all the time. Great choice for anyone with feet problems.

Great shoes, watch sizing - Love this shoe! However I usually take a 37 and this shoe did not fit; 37 was too small and 38 was too large. (I wear a 7.5 shoe) Go figure! However its a great shoe for someone else!

Mom loved them! After getting a pair of the Oiled clogs, I got my mom a pair of the Professional Cabrios for Xmas. She loved them, and got a number of compliments when she wore them to Xmas dinner. She agees with me: they're very comfortable and beautifully made. I think I'll order a pair of the Cabrios to go with the Oiled clogs I already have. You know, I should have both the casual and the dressier versions.
