Very comfortable and is true to size. I was surprised how comfortable they were out of the box without having to break them in. The heel is just right in height for working on your feet. This a style that will develop creases on top in the leather as you wear them in due to how the shoe comes up on top of your foot.

I've had Franco Sarto shoes previously, but this was too tight in width & length.

This is the best fitting, most comfortable and great looking loafer. I have been wearing them for years, I am on my 6th pair.

Well made and comfortable. Expect a breaking in period as the leather requires a bit of stretching. I've had a pair of these shoes before and they looked great and were very durable.

The best loafers ever. I would love to see a lighter brown again. I have been wearing these shoes for years. I would love to see a navy color as well!

I love how comfortable these shoes are. I have owned several pairs and they wear well and last a long time. I pretty much wear these every day. I love the look and feel. At the end of the day, I am in no rush to take them off.

Just bought my second pair of Boccas. Such great work shoes, nicely made, enough room for my super-high arch. I also have difficulty walking (from an injury) and these shoes are super stable and durable. I live in Seattle and the winter can be a very slippery season. Love these shoes!! I hope Franco Sarto continues to make them so when these wear out, I can buy my third pair.

Love these shoes! I've been searching for plain black shoes for over a year and don't know why I didn't get these in the beginning. I got the 7.5N and they have been very comfortable with minimal break-in pains.

This pair is the fourth pair of these shoes I have purchased. I am running between offices during the week and these shoes work beautifully for that. They are comfortable look great with my business pants suits.

This is probably the fifth pair that I bought in the last 10 years. They are professional, classic, elegant and comfortable. I work in the restaurant business so we walk miles and miles. I like these shoes as I can order them in narrow for my skinny but long feet.

Size 6 Med. Comfortable shoe and the look is professional. Wanted a covered shoe with a little heel and the Bocca fit the bill.

Very flexible and excellent shoe. I ordered an 8 which I have been pretty true to, but this shoe runs about 1/2 size too big. I also ordered this wide, but I have bunions and my pinky toe hits the side a little too much and starts to crowd.

These are rigid but very comfortable loafers. I wanted to get a pair that was well made and will last a long time, to replace others that were falling apart. First I was a little put off by the rigidity and also the slippery footbed, but both situations are getting better with a few weeks of wear. You don't want them to be too soft up front, because (a) that means they're that much closer to disintegrating, and (b) when they soften up, you want them to conform to your foot. In short, I think these are well made and will last a while, but only time will tell.

These are great shoes to wear with a suit, very professional. These are a perfect alternative to heels without being too "manly." Very comfortable and sized just right!

This was the perfect shoe I was looking for. I wanted a black loafer to wear for work with pants. Beautiful leather and wide heel makes it comfortable to wear. Easy to slip on.

This is my third pair of Boca's, and they are my favorite shoe. With the exception of my sneakers and hiking boots, they're probably the most comfortable shoes I own. I've walked all over NYC, Paris, and London in them with nary a complaint from my feet. The thick soles and square heel and toe-box, the perfect shoe for your foot, keep you from feeling the pavement. Will continue to buy them as long as they continue to make them.

These are my favorite all time work shoes! I am on my sixth pair at least. I buy a new one every year or so as they wear out but I am pretty hard on them as I am always doing walk throughs at customer sites and sometimes it is dirty or rough terrain. These are comfortable, quality nice looking shoes.

I've been wearing this style for +15 years. I've had a total of 3 pairs and they've lasted well with a little saddle soap and a buff. Yes, I've replaced the heels and soles a few times, but they are my favorite casual to workplace look, not to mention comfort. (The only other brand that comes close to comfort is Ariat, which are built for standing all day. I trade off between these and my Ariat paddock boots to keep me on my feet all day.) My only wish is that they added a few details or colors. I wish I could have a rainbow of these babies!

This shoe was a staple of my wardrobe. For what ever reason I stopped buying it.
Recently I was looking for a loafer that didn't look like one my grandma would wear and this shoe came up in my search.
This shoe is still as good as it was when I used to buy them. Still stylish and is a far cry from the easy spirits I could only find.
I highly recommend this show for comfort and style.

I've been wearing this style Sarto loafer for about 15 years now. I'm on my third pair. Like all loafers, they are stiff the first time worn, but they soften up within 2-3 wearings. If you need a sleek, versatile, mod looking loafer, I think this one is your pick.

I love these shoes! They were very comfortable from the moment I put them on. I liked the square toe instead of pointed toe of other shoes since it's more comfortable and also casual. I owned the same brand/style before and just was replacing it when the previous pair got to be too old and worn out from lots of wear.

I originally bought a pair of these shoes in '02 and after many years of well worn love and several heel replacements I decided to get another pair in '15. To my surprise the new pair is even better than the last. They have more padding and hug my feet like a glove. I had to size down a 1/2 size (from a 7 to a 6.5) but other than that I see no difference in the construction and the new pair is better than the last when they were new. I wear these a lot with tights and skirts to work and they equally look great with trouser socks and dress pants or socks and jeans. Don't delay, get yourself a pair today!

I purchased a pair of these shoes a couple of years ago and liked them so much that I ordered a replacement pair as the originals are finally wearing out. Comments: These shoes run a bit large. I typically wear US size 8.5, but size 8 of the FS Bocca fits better. Having been used to my old shoes, these new shoes are noticeably stiffer and will take some wear time to attain the same level of comfort (hence, my 4* comfort rating for now).

These are great shoes but the heels and soles wear out quickly. I have two pairs and have replaced the heel on both of them. I wear them about three times a week and they are done in a few months. I am short and petite so it is not from my weight on the shoes. The patent leather ones are a little more comfortable. Overall these are great shoes if I only wear them on special occasions.
