Nice looking shoe but way too big though I ordered my usual size. I have narrow feet and the whole shoe was too big. Back they go!

This shoe is comfortable and looks nice, however I've had to take the shoe to a "shoe dr" twice in the year & 1/2 that I've owned them to glue the sole to the footbed. I don't wear this shoe every day and work in an office so I'm not hard on them. However they keep coming unglued on the toebox. Very disappointing as they were not cheap.

I was disappointed because I liked these shoes, they looked good, well made and would have otherwise been comfortable, they just slipped up and down on my narrow heel too much, that I felt like I was wearing clogs.

Reviewed at Franco Sarto
I have two pairs of the Bocca that I am currently wearing to work. The uppers look new because I polish them every other Sunday but the heels of both shoes wore down within 4 months and had to be fixed. I've only owned them for approximately 7 months. The previous pairs I have owned had the same defect. These are very expensive shoes (at least on my salary) so I cannot keep replacing them so often. Please use better quality materials to make the heels so that us customers don't need a new shoe every 4 months. The only reason mine are still wearable is because I took them to the shoemaker to replace the four heels. All that being said, they add a sharpness to any outfit. I wear dress pants with either polos or a blouse and cardigan, and these loafers complete my outfit. They are very stylish and once you overcome the break-in period (about a week), they are comfortable. They are also ideal for standing if you have a stand up desk in your office/cubicle. If buying, be prepared to replace the heels every 3-4 months.

I was excited taking these out of the box, as the leather felt and smelled luxurious. They feel like a quality product. When I went to slip them on, however, I could not get them on without considerable force. My arches are a little high, but not the highest I've seen. They would be a comfortable and durable choice for someone who doesn't have high arches. Hope that helps.

This was a size narrow but still more narrow than expected, especially in the front half. Could not even get my narrow foot in it! Will have to return.

This shoe was much more attractive than I thought it would be. However, I could tell by looking at it (and for sure after trying it on) that it was not a wide width, however it is marked wide width...otherwise it was exactly what I wanted! I am very sad to return this shoe.

Most comfortable shoes ever. I couldn’t stand the style though. Top of shoe comes too far up the foot.

I really liked the style/design of the shoe. It appears well made and has some structure to it. I generally wear 9w. The first pair fit perfectly but the padding of the insole did not cover the entire bottom of the shoe so it felt as if my small toe was caught in a crevice. I exchanged for another pair of the same size. The left shoe of the second pair was very tight almost as if it was a narrow instead of a wide width. Unfortunately they are going back.

I had to return - one foot was much tighter than the other, overall they seem to run on the small and narrow side. I'm debating whether I want to reorder. They look nice but now I think I want a higher heel. I usually don't have sizing issues so not sure I want to chance with another order of this same shoe. The leather is beautiful.

The material is very stiff. I stretched them with shoe trees the the heel area with paper.

I wanted to like the shoe after seeing so many positive reviews, but they just didn't work for me. I'm a teacher on my feet all day and I also have bunions. I'm used to the support of Borns, Clarks, Rockports and Danskos so I'm sure these are supportive to some, but just couldn't compare to my usual brands. I also had to exchange for half size smaller because they slipped off when walking, but because I bought a smaller size, it couldn't accommodate my bunions. They are really well made, and look great with skirts, slacks or jeans. They just didn't work for my situation.

A beautiful show with soft leather upper and good arch support, but the size 11 felt like a size 12 and my heel would not stay in the show. Sadly, I had to return them.

I really wanted to love this shoe but am returning it. I was trying to find a slip on style that was similar to a style that I had for a long time until it recently wore out. I always have a hard time finding the right size since there are not many shoe companies that have 10.5 size. I thought the size 10 would work since the 10.5 was too big but it was not as comfortable as I thought it would be once I figured out the right size. Thank you Zappos for being so accommodating.

The shoe seems to feel fine. I normally wear either a 10.5 or 11 but since the 10.5 which I returned was a little big I was trying to see if the 10 wide would work but that was too wide in the back of the shoe. I am hoping the 10 regular will fit better.

I have a wide (D) foot and could not even get my foot past the top of the shoe to see how it might if if I could get into it. Which never happened. Returned.

The shoes look great, but they run small at least for me. The sides come up high towards the ankle.

Cute loafer but I got a horrible blister on my right foot. The toe box has a weird shape. Even still, I like the shoe because it looks professional for the office. I'm on my feet a lot so I hope I can break them in after my blister heals.

Very sad that these shoes have changed their sizing. I'd bought several pairs before, because they were perfect for work, comfortable right from the box and, most importantly, came in wide. Then they weren't available in 8.5 wide for a long time. The new pair was not as wide (compared to an old pair to confirm) and trying the pair a half size up didn't work, they were too big. Sadness! My first pair was excellent quality, the next pair(s) were not quite as long-lasting, but still good. Wish that things hadn't changed!

I don't LOVE them the are just ok. The fit is not quite right for my foot. It is a little tight in the toe box and a little loose in the heel. I never look at them and say ooo I want to wear these today. Just meh.

I really wanted to like these, I like that they have a little more of a heel than a standard oxford but not too much to be painful. Unfortunately they were too narrow.
