Description
More than the name of a footwear brand, Franco Sarto the man is the driving inspiration and passion behind the actual designs. By the age of 14, Sarto was working in a shoe factory where his job was to hand-last shoes with a hammer and nails. It is Sarto's start as a cobbler, and his passion as a designer that makes him a rarity in the business. He designs his shoes both with the sweat and blood of a technician and the grace and beauty of a world-renowned fashion designer. To this day, Sarto hand sketches many of his designs. Franco Sarto understands a woman's undying passion for shoes and is dedicated to keeping that passion alive by crafting beautiful shoes that bring joy to women around the world.

This is a comfortable,becoming and well made shoe. It's classic, no-gimmick styling fits the foot well, with no chafing edges. When you are looking for a more serviceable shoe, one that will not have you clopping around in unwieldy super-high wedgies, this is an excellent choice.

This espadrille in Kiwi is the "bomb!" I love wearing casual skirts and so they look great with them and I don't bother trying to match, that's old fashion. And importantly I found them to be very comfortable right out of the box. I walked all over the mall without a problem. Yeah! Now, I do have narrow type feet and so I ordered a 1/2 size shorter and I simply adjusted the back buckle and it worked. They are perfect!

I ordered these in a 9.5, which is my size and expected to be dispointed as I find, most dress shoes run narrow in the toe BUT!, I was surprised to find they not only fit me perfectly, they are SOOOO comfortable! Great cushioning in the sole, a nice height and a really classy looking shoe. I have worn them with jeans for a dressed down look and with dress chinos for a dressed up look, and plan to wear them with my skirts once the weather warms up. These shoes are awsome in fit, style and price!

This shoe is comfortable and stylish. It is a great alternative to the clunky, ugly platforms currently shown this year. I go a 1/2 size up in Franco Sarto shoes but the fit is perfect!

These are very attractive espadrilles and they appear to be made well. The fit information on the website says that they are true to size, but my experience was that they are narrower than a medium and maybe run a bit short. I wear a 7.5 N and I ordered a 7.5 M (because M was the only option) expecting there to be too much room in the heel and toe box. It is just the opposite, the toe box is extremely narrow, even for my foot. I couldn't make enough adjustments with the heel strap to get a comfortable fit.Also, you'll notice in the images that the sole of the shoe turns up slightly at the point where the ball of the foot would be. This gave the shoe an almost rocking-chair effect which was awkward. Not sure if you could get used to this and I'll never know as I have to return them.

This shoe seems to run narrow and is very stiff. Because of the sling back it makes the flip-flop sound when I walk. The leather is nice and soft and I might have kept it if it weren't for the sound of the shoe and stiffness of it.

This is a lovely shoe, fits well and is comfortable. It's so nice when wearing a shoe that others say, "Cute shoe". Best of all, though, is I'm rather hard to fit and this shoe fits.

I was afraid that these shoes were a little mommy style, but they are not. They are classic and comfortable for being heels. They go well with dresses or jeans. I do think that they are quite narrow, which I like since I have very narrow feet. But if you have medium to wider feet you might want to consider sizing up or choosing a different pair. The quality seems very good. The sling in the back is adjustable and a little stretchy so it stays on nicely. Overall, I recommend these shoes, especially if you have narrow feet.
