Customer Reviews Franco Sarto Bocca

Really like these shoes as a simple dress pant shoe. Very comfortable and well priced.

I love the Franco Sarto Bocca; this is my third pair. I've found them to be sturdy and long lasting. They go as well with a great pair of slacks as an easy going jean. The fit is fantastic, exactly true to size. Buy these now.

This is the 3rd pair of these shoes I have bought and I wear them almost every day with skirts or pants and they have lasted me at least 2 years each. I love them. Well made a bit tight at first (probably just used to my older well worn ones!) They are my faves!

I bought these because I've had these same shoes from 15 years ago. They are great shoes. I am so glad I could find them again.

This is my second pair of Boccas. My first pair received nearly daily wear for a year before I decided it was time to order a replacement. The sole of the first pair was still in excellent condition, but the leather upper was broken in to the point that it just was not quite crisp enough for work slacks anymore. These shoes are very versatile and pair nicely with both jeans and dress slacks. I tend to run between a 7½ and an 8, I found that the 7½ was the right fit in these shoes. They are pretty stiff out of the box and do require some breaking in. After a couple weeks of wear they lose that stiff feel and just keep getting more comfortable over time. So if you find them overly stiff at first, stick with them because you will find that they are your favorite go to shoes.

Love, love, love. This is my third pair of these shoes. The style changes slightly each year, but always a perfect fit.

Ditto to all the great things others say about this shoe. This is my fourth pair. But sizing is always hit or miss, even trying them on in a store. Zappos is the best place to buy them.

Very comfortable shoe that goes great from the office to the ball park. One of the few shoes that offer a square shaped toe, but still is very fashionable.

I normally wear a 10N, but frequently find shoes that fit in that size and are too wide in the heel. This shoe runs a half size long. I ordered a 10N and returned it for a 9.5. They just arrived and fit my narrow foot perfectly. They are classy, professional looking, and look like the quality you would find in a more expensive shoe. Thanks Zappos and Franco Sarto!

These are classy, professional looking shoes that are well made and reasonably priced for the quality. I wear a 10N, and they run too big. However, I have ordered a 9 1/2N and have high hopes they will fit.

I love these shoes. I don't know how many pairs I have purchased over the years. I think I have been wearing them for over 10 years now. Never in my life have I purchased the same shoe over and over again. They are very comfortable. The design is timeless and stylish enough to wear in many different situations. I hope Franco Sarto never stops making them, but just in case I have some new pairs stored away in my closet.

Nice looking shoe with just the right amount of height. Sole is stiff at first so don't plan on taking a long walk first time you wear these shoes.

This is a fantastic shoe! After searching high and low for a formal shoe that I can wear at the office and beyond, this one fits wonderfully. I plan to get every style available!

Fell in love with Franco back in the '90s when I bought my first pair of winter white patent leathers (which is still wear today). They're getting a run-down now and I would love to replace them. Any chance, you'll ever reissue the off white patent leathers again? I also own them in black patent and brown. Please reissue in off white patent!

This has been my go-to shoe to wear with work slacks for years now. I'm on my third pair. Normally I wear them until the heel is worn down before I get a new pair. This most recent pair (purchased November 2011) seems to have a lower quality than previous pairs. The lining of the footbed has holes in several places and now I can see impressions from the tacks showing through in the inside at the heel. I can't feel it yet. They also seem to be stretched out bigger and sloppier than previous pairs. I will try another pair when these are worn out because despite all this, they are still comfortable and stay nice looking.

I did not find this shoe as comfortable as many other reviewers apparently did, especially not immediately, I wanted a replacement shoe for work, being on my feet all day. It's a very hard sole. I have gotten used to it, but even with an insole, the lack of padding and comfort is noticeable. Looks sleek though.

I wanted to love this shoe. I like the way it looks. However it is literally the most uncomfortable shoe I've ever had on my feet. It's not a size issue, they fit correctly but they are so hard and the edges are digging into the top of my feet and my heels. Sadly, just 3 hours into my first wearing the heel is already coming apart too. Very disappointed.

bought these because among the style of shoe I was looking for, this one had the most positive, oh my gosh it was so comfortable reviews. Well, they were not comfortable at all. In fact, when I started breaking them in, they literally ripped the skin off the back of my heel/ankles on both feet, forget blisters, this was far far worse with injuries about 1 inch in diameter. I also noticed that my pinky toes felt crushed when I finished wearing them for the day. I am a a size 6.5 regular so I usually buy a 7 -- and I did here. Unfortunately, that size 7 was useless. Maybe it just didn't fit at all. I have never owned a 7.5 before, and I haven't gone wide width in my entire life. I wore the shoes for a second time with moleskine over the injuries; unfortunately, however, the size just doesn't work for me so the moleskine is pushed away in favor of my skin. And the cycle recurs, since these shoes have sadly ripped my ankles apart three times now. As a result of my injuries, I haven't been able to even comfortably walk for days and this means that I wasted a lot. Unfortunately, on the first day that I wore them, I wore them all day in the busiest of cities so I'm not going to be able to get my money back on this. I love Zappos, but unfortunately I think I'm out of luck on this one...which is too bad, because I could really use a new nice pair of shoes.

The tacks in the heel came through and made my feet irritated. I hope I just had a bad pair, but shoes with this price tag should not have that problem the first day they are worn! Fortunately, I shop at Zappos.com, and I will be able to return them with no problem!

Love this she, but could not find size that fit. I usually wear a 7.5 or 8. I ordered 8s first, they were too big. Then tried 7.5 and thet fit better but m heel slipped out, So tried a 7 which stopped my heel from slipping bu they were a little snug, so I gave up.

Bought these for work. I’m normally a 9.5 in athletic shoes but those were slightly too big. 9 fit perfectly. Haven’t worn them too long but came highly recommended from a friend in same profession.

This shoe is a standard for me from the first time I ran into Lord & Taylor on my way to a gig for which I forgot my black shoes. I have been purchasing this shoe for over 15 years and am so glad that Zappo's continues to carry it.

Stylish looking loafer that looks great with business casual attire and/or with jeans!

Love these shoes! I can wear them right out of the box on a 14 hour work day and my feet don’t hurt. Not much of an arch support but I still love these shoes! I have bought them several times and will purchase again!
