Customer Reviews Franco Sarto Valera

These are really nice looking shoes but the size 8 was very tight without a ped. I would suggest ordering a half size larger.

This is a nice staple for any wardrobe. I purchased it in the Rose patent, it's a pretty blush color. The patent material is a bit stiff but I'm confident it will be soften after a couple days wear. The rubber sole is great. For added comfort I add a thin arch support insole and the shoe accommodates it easily? I'm typically an 8B and I did not find fit issues like some of the other reviewers. This loafer will be a regular in my shoe rotation.

These are great! I have a wider foot and was excited to see the wide option. Ordered my usual 9.5 in M and W and the M actually fit great. There was a comment saying they were grandma shoes...I guess I could be a grandma, but I'm not, but I like these. I certainly wish I could wear some higher styles, but they are usually pointy or too narrow, so I'll enjoy these in more colors!

This is a classic shoe for everyday. Simple, clean lines. The patent leather gives it a little shine and style. I work in a conservative industry and these are great shoes when I am on my feet all day!

Unlike some other reviewers, I found the fit to be true. I have fit issues. Generally have to order a 1/2 size to a full size up in a wide. I ordered a half size up..to a 9 W and the fit is good. LOVE the look and feel. Very stylish. Can see wearing for a holiday party or even professional day ware...

Really sharp, crisp, good looking. A bit narrower than I expected for a wide shoe.

This runs large. Going to try a half size smaller. Love the color and hope the smaller size will fit.

I prefer a more pointed toe, but otherwise, these are fairly comfortable. I always wear some kind of insole to add more comfort, plus a heel guard in back of the shoe to avoid rubbing. The black suede fit the best. The light beige suede was beautiful, but did not fit as well as the black suede, so they went back. A good choice for a comfortable shoe with work pants or casual wear.

Based on previous reviews, I purchased these in the wide width (W), and boy, am I glad I did! I don't have a particularly wide foot, but the W fits more like a standard B width. Other than width, I love the style and it's a very comfortable shoe right out of the box. I first wore them to a graduation ceremony, and without any prior breaking-in, they were fantastic and easy to wear. Since I wear a size 11 (and I don't do heels), I'm constantly on the look-out for stylish and cute flats--and these fit the bill so well, I bought a second, back-up pair!

Great looking shoe, but runs very narrow. I ordered a 7.5 W but it felt like a 7M. Have been having this problem with Franco Sarto lately.

Love this shoe, but it did run big and I had to exchange for a half size smaller. Can be dressed up or down - cute with jeans or dress pants. Love the color!

Beautiful navy blue shoe but toe box too narrow for my feet.

ran a bit small

somewhat a very odd color - looks like it got stuck in concrete

The taupe suede did not fit as comfortably as the black suede, so I returned these, but I love the color, too bad. I did keep the black suede, very nice!

Nice looking shoe but very stiff. I ordered a wide width based on other reviews when I normally order B width. The wide width seemed no wider than a B width so returned the shoe. Not comfortable.

Shoe looks good but was too stiff for my foot after surgery. Need something more flexible.
