Franco Sarto

Bocca

Women's

These shoes look sharp and professional with black slacks. My feet are wide in front and medium in back, so most size wide shoes slip. These shoes hold your foot in with the taller tongue, so they fit well. The heel height is very comfortable and looks better with slacks than a flat shoe.

Fit, size, and style are all great; however, two months after wearing these shoes every other day to work only, I noticed the left shoe (1st picture) is coming apart at the seams on the side and the right shoe (2nd picture) isn't too far behind! I have NEVER experienced anything like this from Zappos or any other store! Not sure what's going on with Franco Sarto and the lack of quality in this shoe! And to think, I was contemplating buying a second pair in a different color!

I've owned two pairs of these Franco Sarto Bocca loafers over the past 2.5 years and the leather uppers have worn extremely well and they polish up nicely. Until recently, they were my go-to daily office shoes because they look sharp and professional while being comfortable. If they were made with better materials for the heels and soles they would be perfect. Unfortunately, the heel structure is hollow plastic with a glued-on rubber walking surface and I walked through the rubber in a few months of normal wear. The soles are also inferior rubber and eventually cracked to the extent water could enter the shoe. I had the rubber on the heels replaced at the local shoe shop, but it only extended the life a little until the soles cracked. I'm debating whether to buy these again with the disappointing lifespan. I am not on my feet all day, and expect better performance for a shoe in this price range—tho' I'd pay a higher price (within reason) for superior quality.

This is a most stylish, comfortable, sensible shoe. I am an architect, so I must maintain style, even as I must be able to walk well. I absolutely love these shoes! I keep the heels repaired and the shoes well shined. I have six pairs! I get many compliments on these shoes.

I usually can not wait to rip my shoes off when I get home but not with these shoes. I love them because they are so comfortable.
