Customer Reviews Salvatore Ferragamo Vara Bow Pump

I have been watching these shoes for months and finally saved up to buy them. They are so expensive but so worth it. No one does shoes like the Italians. Right out of the box they so good on my feet. No blisters or soreness. They are super comfortable in addition to being gorgeous and classic. This is an investment that will last for many years to come. I wear a 7½ or 8 in shoes and the 7½ fit perfectly. I got the B width as I have regular width feet and again, perfect fit. It is almost like they were custom - made for my feet. I got the oxford blue, which goes with almost my entire wardrobe. The low heel is the perfect height and provides the support I need. They are pricey shoes but I understand why. If you can afford them, they will replace three or four other pairs of shoes in your closet, so I highly recommend the investment.

These shoes are comfortable and beautiful. They are very elegant and can be worn any time of the day or night, with skirts, pants and even classy jeans. I love them, and I will buy more colors. The light gray is a suede leather and not smooth. They are beautiful. They are so light in color that it's almost like men's bucks.

I have always loved Salvatore Ferragamo shoes, especially the VARA. I have over 10 pairs in different colors that s how comfortable they are for me, especially because I am not allowed to wear very high heels because of my back. Will recommend them anytime.

Have worn this style for over 20 years! Sadly, not readily available in 11N or 11 1/2 AAA anymore in colors! Hope Zappos gets many more colours in these sizes! Comfortable walking and subway shoe yet beautiful for day and evening! Hope the company can get it's identity back and give up production of ugly platform stilettos!Need this functional workhorse shoe in narrow sizes above size 10!

They are so cute and stylish! Love the color and the little cute bow. They are not the most comfortable shoes I have worn, but they are not bad. I like that the bow is made in leather instead of cloth, like other Ferragamo flats.

This is a lovely well made shoe, very classy. However, I find that Ferragamo shoes run at least a half size too long and are generally too narrow. I usually wear a 6.5 B or C. I ordered a C width and the shoe was still too narrow and bulged at the bend. I'm going to try a size 6 D. I like the fact that returns are simplified.

Gorgeous shoe, but unfortunately it doesn't work for me. I have "aged out" of pretty shoes (a lifetime of flat feet finally caught up with me) and spend most days in sneakers with orthotics, so was hoping these would work for dress shoes, but alas, they do not (bunions). Since orthotic-friendly shoes that advertise themselves as "dress" are unbelievably ugly (think Minnie Mouse), I guess I will just stick to sneakers. Sigh.

Ferragamo Vara. What can I say? My mom has these exact same shoes she bought in Italy in the 1970s. They never go out of style and are always right. Still the best.

These shoes are the best shoes I've bought in a long time. Yes, they are pricey but they are classic, timeless, beautiful, and so feminine on your feet. I adore them. Zappos you are the best!

25 years of style. Ferragamo shoes are the best in style, comfort and durability. I have this style in black, violet, snakeskin, navy and beige. I'm hoping to get the other colors. My shoes are more than 25 years and the style never fades. I feel confident whenever I wear my Ferragamos.

I've wanted a pair of Ferragamo shoes for years. I finally gave in and bought the classic Vara low heel pump. I love everything about this shoe. It's so classy and beautiful. Even though it is sophisticated and elegant it can be worn dressy or casual. I also love Zappos.com and their customer service can't be beat. Fantastic company.

I bought myself these shoes for my birthday because I've always wondered whether the expensive shoes are really worth the money. They're a classic style that I'll wear for years (assuming the heel doesn't stretch too far as most do). I like them, but I don't think they're worth the hype or the price.

Beautifully crafted shoes. What a pleasure to have a fine Italian shoe! Top quality leather and exquisite craftsmanship. I wore this same SF style a long time ago and the shoes lasted for years, so I wanted another pair. They are very comfortable, and good for walking because of the low heel. They look great with either suit pants or skirts. The style with the almond-shaped toe and grosgrain bow is very flattering to the foot. The fit is a little loose, maybe due to the European sizing? If you want an American size 8, sometimes the Euro size converts to 7.5-8.0 but sometimes 8.0-8.5. I think this shoe is 8.0-8.5. The shoe does not slip off the back of my foot, but you can see a gap between my heel and the back of the shoe. I am experimenting with insoles to get a more snug fit. By the way, the color they call "Nero" is black.

A great classic shoe. Extremely comfortable, based on the old walking shoe model. I have lots of trouble with foot pain and these are marvelously comfortable.

This shoe is lovely. Not too conservative but just enough for the court room. The comfort level is good, nothing like AGL's but they will have to do. I did return because I need a size 6 regular width...I tried many sizes and will have to wear a tiny insert to make the 6 work. The 5.5 was a tad short, would not be able to walk more than a few steps. The sizing is just a bit off.

I purchased these because I love the ferragamo foldable flats, and I thought these would be a bit more polished with a similar fit. They are definitely polished, but they are so uncomfortable! I wore them once, and quite honestly, I'll probably never wear them again. I would not recommend these if you will be walking any distance in them. (For reference, I walk about one mile from the train to my office.)

Most shoes work for me, but these are deadly. Heel blisters every time. The C width was not wide, and the 8.5 was more like a 7.5 or an 8.

Beautifully made classic shoe. Comfortable on first wear. Love these shoes!

Love this shoe. Unfortunately ordered wrong size.

I wear a 7 narrow. But read these ran narrow. So I bought a B which feels good. But the 7 is a tad bit long. I'm going to try 1 6/12 B. Lovely classic shoe. If you need cushion there isn't any.

Beautiful, very classy shoes. Beware- sizing is a little odd. I needed a 10N for my usual 9.5M foot. Comfortable but I wouldn't want to do a ton of walking in them. Maybe once they get broken in a little I'll be able to tolerate a busy walking day in them. They look so incredibly good!

Beautiful shoes. Runs narrow for me. I need width C for my normally medium width feet.

This was supposed to be a wide shoe. It fit like a B width shoe. Therefore I am returning it. I love the shoe. I wish it came in wider sizes.
