I had to try these on the chance they'd actually fit. They are incredibly cute, and would be so stylish with a crop or 7/8 jean. These are disappointingly void of support, and the pointy toe makes them slightly torturous to wear. I have a medium width foot, and have learned to steer clear of shoes like this that are not made to fit an actual foot, as they can cause foot problems down the line.

I love the design but wish Franco offered narrow width. Medium doesn't cut it for the narrow foot.

These flats are so comfortable and true to size!! The leather is so soft . I am literally so in love with them so I'll be purchasing another pair. By the way, I got so many compliments!!! Please don't let these flats pass you by and go buy!!!!

Great shoe. Fit my size 7.5 perfectly. It’s a pointed toe and a little longer than I’m used to but very stylish and comfortable.

The moment you slip them on they fit beautifully and felt so very comfortable. These are rare shoes. Soft leather. Gorgeous design. I must buy more.

Wanted to love this but it was a bit loose on my and kept slipping off my feet as I walked. It also hurt my foot on the sides. I rated them 4 because they were beautiful pair of loafers/ballet style shoes. The color and quality is great but for me, it was slipping off my foot. Love Franco Sarto shoes!

Nice dressy flat. Since the toe box is a little too pointy they are a little hard to walk in. Perhaps a half size up would be better for comfort, otherwise I like the style.

I bought these last year first. I Liked them a lot so reordered. But they are somewhat different. Don't like the heel...looks a little old fashioned. Also, I have purchased approximately 10 pair of Franco Sarto shoes over the last year. They are all too wide for me but I have kept them because I like the styles. They look sloppy on my foot though because of width. I would buy lots more if you carried a narrow width. I don't think I will buy any more at this point and will need to find another shoe company that makes narrow widths.

I have soooooo many FrancoSarto flats. These are not as comfortable as the others. I always by FrancoSarto because of their comfort and quality. These just are not the norm.

This is a well-made shoe but I found it to look a little frumpy on. The leather is great and the style is classic; I just wish that they were more modern looking. They also ran a half size too big.

I would recommend the black color over others. Tabs a half size large IMO - I usually wear 7.5 and they flop off of my feet. I should have exchanged for a half size smaller. Overall quality is fine. Previous FS styles I have purchased felt more high-quality than these.

I would recommend sizing down on these. I wear a 7.5 and they flop off of my feet, making them hard to walk in. I had a previous pair of FS flats for work that I was much happier with. The color on these is a bit orange as well, so they look kind of cheap. Not as happy with them as I was hoping.

The way the point is designed is not flattering. I have other point toe shoes but this one made my feet look like giant clown feet.

Walked around with these on inside Nordstrom Rack store. After awhile they felted too flat, not much arch support. My feet began to feel tired and there was no flexibility in the shoe which cause me to stumble on carpet with the really pointy toe shoe. Overall, look was very nice! Something I would wear overseas. I happen to have on a pair of black joggers that day. Good look even though quite pointy. Between stumbling a couple times, not flexible and the feet/legs feeling tired after short period of time, I decided not to purchased. Almost similar to the feel of a ballet slipper. I’m late 50’s, average weight & 5’6 1/2. Might feel differently on someone petite like 5’3”, under average weight and younger.
