These are the best shoe ever made. Very high quality material and design. This could be used as a dress shoe or a casual shoe. It's extremely versatile and can be worn with almost anything. Several reasons why this is the best shoe I have ever found... first of all, they have the perfect shape, they are "oblique" which fits the shape of the natural human foot. Unfortunately 90% of what's out there is not made to fit the natural shape of the human foot, and causes foot and back problems for women. Also, the leather construction upper and the sole are top notch quality. They take a long time, with lots of aggressive wear to start to show any signs of needing replacement. The leather is smooth and well-finished. The connection with the sole is done in a very artistic and beautiful way with a nice classy shape all around the edges. These shoes are comfortable, supportive, not flimsy at all, but allows the front of your foot to bend appropriately. Overall, very high quality, beautiful shape and design, good leather material, and good construction. I have bought several pairs of these in the past 10 years, in different colors, and they have all lasted very well. I will continue to buy any new color variety they come out with. This is a "must-have" shoe wardrobe essential. Everyone should have at least one pair of these. In the past few years they have decreased the number of options for the style. I really wish they would increase the availability of color choices so that I can increase my collection. I would love to see them in different textures and colors from lighter shades to darker shades to match a wider variety of outfits. I would highly recommend these to everyone. Even my chiropractor thought these were advisable to wear compared to the types of women's dress shoes that are available at this time.

I love these shoes and years ago purchased a pair of bocca style with zebra pony front. I wish that they would make them again. I would buy two pairs.

These shoes are very comfortable for being on my feet 8 hours and more. They are wide and don't pinch your little toes. They are good looking to boot!

This style of Franco Sarto shoe is amazingly comfortable, with a rare combination of a wide toe box and narrow heels (when ordered in N). They look great with pants (not so much with skirts, in my view). I've ordered about 6-8 pairs over the past few years, and try to keep a spare pair in case Sarto quits making them. However, you should be aware that Sarto's size control is not very exact: I often have to order and try two or three pairs to find one that fits just right, since their size varies a bit. But it's worth keeping at it until you find a pair that's right.

I am on my second pair of black, have a zebra print, navy, saddle, and gray flannel. Please bring back more colors of my favorite shoes! I am on my feet all day and this style can't be beat for comfort and good looks.

These are roomy, comfortable, and they came in a 10½! Where I live no store stocks half sizes above 9. My only complaint is that the soles do mark a bit. Zappos has such a great selection!

Amazingly long-lasting. I just bought a new pair to replace my 15yr old pair of these - I wore through the front sole. Not quite as comfy, yet, but the others were pretty much molded to my feet.

Love these shoes! I had them a few years ago, and wore them until they fell apart.
Great for work, or walk around the town.

I absolutely love these shoes. These are my total go-tos for comfort, looks, and style - when I have to wear actual shoes and not my flip-flops. I have big, wide feet and and am actually in between 11 and 11½ which, of course, no one makes. These are perfect. And they wear very well. This was a great investment for long lasting shoes - and, believe me, I am tough on shoes!

This is my fourth pair of Franco Sarto Boccas. I have them in brown and this was my third black purchase. I have to wear unadorned black shoes at work and these are perfect with pants. They are classic loafer-style shoes and are feminine too. I usually wear 7 1/2 and that's what I order with this shoe. There is no breaking-in time. They are comfortable from the start. This shoe style has been around for many years and I think it's because it is so classic. If you are leaning towards buying these, I don't think you'll be disappointed...

These are my favorite shoes and wear them every day. They are super comfortable and have become very soft. I wore out my first pair and I just started wearing a new pair.
I highly recommend these shoes!!

Beautiful shoe, I had another Franco Sarto loafer similar to the one I brought. I always got compliments and I literally ran them into the ground. I loved them so much . I had to replace them, these replacements feel good and look great. I just hope Franco Sarto get another style before I run these into the ground.

These are by far my favorite shoes for work. They are a classic look. They are great with slacks and jeans. The upper comes up high enough on my feet that I can wear socks. I usually have them resoled at least once before I buy a new pair. I still always go back to these and it has been eight years.

I love these shoes, I am on what I am guessing is my fifth pair. They are perfect for work, they look stylish yet are deceptively comfortable. Also the are versatile enough to match up with jeans for more casual times.

Love them! My 3rd pair over almost 20 years. The style may vary a bit with the times, but the quality and comfort are always the same.

Just bought my third pair. The shoe is super comfortable right out of the box. I walk in my job at a hospital and wear this shoe every day. It is timeless and goes with everything! I can't say enough about this shoe! Buy it. You will not be disappointed!

Before I bought these shoes I read other reviews that was posted. I bought other brands from Zappos without others fitting I can say these Franco Sarto Bocca totally fit and are great pair of shoes! Comfortable fit and Zappos Customer Service rocks and friendly.

Best shoes ever! Going to order my 4th pair! I wear these almost daily to work and usually last 2-2.5 years. There is no adjustment period with these.

This is the 2nd pair of these I have owned. I have narrow feet and ordered the narrow width. The first pair was perfect but this pair is a little wider and slips on my heel but they are still comfortable and stylish.

Wanted a dress loafer, but couldn't find a men's that I liked and was comfortable. So ordered these and they arrived the next day. Wore them that evening when my wife and I went to dinner and dancing. Have wore them on several occasions since and they continue to feel comfortable and look nice.

My favorite shoe! I've been wearing them for 15 years or more and don't plan to stop any time soon. One of the few stylish shoes for people with less than perfect feet. But I'd wear them, regardless. They are stiff for a day, then comfortable. I wear them with slacks, jeans, skirts with tights. Have them in black, brown and blue. Wish they made more colors.

Best shoes ever! You can wear these all day business or casual. Get a size bigger and put some cushion inserts and they're like walking in slippers. Love these!

This is a perfect office shoe if you want traditional style without too much of a heel. It was comfortable from the first moment of wearing and is also a good walking shoe. I wear them with a light to middle weight trouser sock. The leather is quality and has the appearance of being Italian-made. No complaints whatsoever and a great all-around every day shoe for work and walking.
