Customer Reviews Franco Sarto Bocca

I love these shoes. They coming up a little higher and stayed on easier. However the narrow was not narrow enough for my foot. I may have to give up on loafers and look at a cute oxford.

I should have bought these half a size smaller, but I didn't want to buy too small and stretch out the toes. They're perfect with a thin wool sock, but I will be going barefoot with them in the spring. Good supportive heel, no half a cue ball in the midfoot. I can see why they are so popular!

Can wear inserts!!! Oh so crazy about these shoes! Have been looking for this great shoe style for some time now, ever since I wore out my last loafers! I ordered the narrow, and was still able to use my Vionic inserts (slim 'dress' style). Looks really adorable with black tights and a shorter black skirt.

Beautiful shoe! I'm returning them as I should have ordered a size 10 instead of a 10 1/2. My foot tends to be narrow and I knew these would never work for my foot. Will continue to look.

Have worn this style before - this is my second pair....I like the square wide toe box - roomy & less stress on those that may have the beginning of a bunion which I have at this time. Works with a tailored wardrobe for every day wear. The thick sole is more or a cushion for long walking trips. Like the feel of this leather & easy to keep the shine.

I bought these at Macy's in 2003 and replaced the heel twice over a 10 year period. I finally had to give them up after 14 years because the toe box leather was conforming to my toes. The sole and sewing are meticulous and wore well over this 11 year period. I am buying these again because they are classic, comfortable, and long-wearing if taken care of (cleaned, polished, re-heeled).

Stylish and comfortable!

These are classic non-frumpy loafers. Very comfortable and look great with ankle pants.

I'm not a shoe girl but a girl has to have a pair of shoes. These are it for me. I order a new pair every year and wear them into the ground!! Very comfy and you can dress them up or down!

This is a beautiful shoe. It took me three tries to get the right size and it's worth it. I usually wear a 9B but that size felt too tight, so I ordered a 9W. Much too big. Finally ordered an 8.5W and got the fit I needed. Such a good looking shoe, and nice padded sole and good solid heel. Very happy with the purchase.

Normally wear an 8.5 but had to trade to an 8.0. Other than that, awesome classic shoe! No regrets! Love these shoes!

I loved these shoes - very classy - but they were sized to big for me (a really odd thing to happen with my BIG FEET!) but as usual, Zappos was great to deal with - both ways!!

Love! Replacing a pair purchased in 2001....not a typo...2001! Great fit, great quality!

I love these Franco Sarto shoes! I know I’ve ordered this style for years! Let’s say at least 10 pairs for both work and play. I’ve have them in Black Patent and Black. I hope this style is never discontinued...... I would be heartbroken. Thanks Zappos for always having them available in my size too!! Size 11.

I used to wear these exact shoes and I loved them till they died. I typically wear 8 1/2 WW or 9W and have a high instep, high arch & wide toe bed. This time I ordered a 9W (the widest offered) and they are not going to fit. I guess my feet have spread too much to ever wear them again. :(

I have cruise ship sized feet, so finding nice shoes that don't accentuate my flippers is a tough one. My feet are somewhere between normal and wide (not narrow) and in most shoes or boots, I wear a size 11 Women's. At an 11, shoes are generally not perfect fitting but much better than a 10.5. So, I chose the 10.5 size in the shoe and also chose Wide. I thought that perhaps the width would allow my feet to settle in better and not make my toes crunched so as to need an 11. They fit perfectly. So to be clear, I never choose wide shoes, just get the normal shoe, but I normally buy a size 11. So, the 10.5 Wide in this shoe is great. I don't like "girly" shoes or can't really find any that the yachts feel comfortable in, so I like a low-ish heel loafer. The black loafers are perfect for work or jeans. They are very comfortable. They are leather, so give them a chance. You can't go wrong with these classics.

The shoe felt good on. The problem is in the heel- when I walk it slips off. It's almost like it is too shallow in the heel. Need to return.

This shoe fits great and looks great. It's a shoe that I've worn for years. It's great with jeans or twill slacks and perfect for the office. I've had it in Black, Brown and Navy Blue. It's almost impossible to wear the shoe out! I love Franco Sarto Bocca!

This is my third pair in 30 years. They would last longer but I am hard on shoes. Luckily they continue to be a classic shoe that never goes out of style. I wear with jeans, or dress up with dress pants. Perfect go to shoe for everyday wear. And I do wear them everyday possible!

I love this shoe! This is my third pair. I have lots of foot problems and these are sturdy enough to provide support but still stylish. I have hammer toes and the toe box leaves plenty of room. Leather is not so stiff that there is not much of a breaking in period at all. This is a great shoe at a great price. I have paid more for similar shoes from other brands and I keep coming back to this shoe.

This is my third pair of Franco Sarto Boccas and my only regret is that I can't replace the whole sole because they do wear out faster than I'd like on the bottom. Otherwise, these shoes are great, professional and comfortable. They are a bit snug at first but stretch out to find just fine....I wish they came in brown. I use an orthotic and they have a deep heel and removable insole which is crucial for me.
