Customer Reviews Franco Sarto Bocca

Felt smaller than expected - I have given the shoe 4 stars overall, even though I am not keeping it. It is a beautiful & well made loafer. I ordered a 6 1/2 Wide. Unfortunately, the fit was tight (especially on the upper) for my flat feet. I would suggest ordering a half size larger and/or wider. Nevertheless, I will look into other Franco Sarto Bocca shoes.

VERY comfortable work shoe! I bought these to work in and loved them from the moment I put them on. They were a little tight at first but have since stretched to fit my feet. They've also never hurt, pinched or blistered my feet at all. I have to say I love these shoes! I would recommend these shoes for anyone who is on their feet a lot in a formal/casual work environment.

Give them time - This was my first purchase from Zappos and very satisfied with order. I am an owner of several pairs of Sarto's shoes. They have been well-made shoes that have a good enduring quality about them. But his shoes sometimes tend to be a bit tight when new. Although I hate "breaking in" shoes, it is worth it with his shoes. This pair is no different. When I first tried on, very tight. However, I bended each shoe and that provided just enough "give" to allow my foot to slide in. A bit tight, but not uncomfortable and I have a slightly large bunion on left foot and it felt fine. Not the dressiest style but a well made shoe not manufactured in China.

Nice shoe! I always wear a 7 1/2 so that's what I ordered. I should have ordered an 8. It runs a little small.

A Sturdy Shoe - I like Franco Sarto shoes because they come in a narrow width. Their Bocca loafer is comfortable, although somewhat stiff, with good support. It needs to be worn with a heavier sock - trouser socks don't look or feel right with it. The fit is somewhat generous - I can wear heavy socks with it in my regular size. Today I wore them all day in rainy weather and my feet were dry and comfortable - the rubber sole helps a lot.

Great work shoe - This is a great shoe...very comfortable. However, it quickly becomes very worn looking. I have only had these shoes for 2 weeks now but they look like I've had them for years.

A great standard - This is my 2nd pair of this shoe. They wear extremely well and the style is great year after year. You can dress it up or wear it casual.

Franco Sarto's Bocca - This shoe has been a great purchase - true to size and width, comfortable and looks great with pants. I'm expecting that with further wear it will soften up a bit and feel even more comfortable.

Sleek and Stealth - These are a must have for your wardrobe! They are stylish and form fitting yet comfortable. They appear to be well made with a good grade of leather. The leather creasing across the top, while expected, is minimum. I have worn these several times for 8 hrs walking with no problems. I will say the arch support isn't the best in the world yet doesn't seem to be much of an issue with this shoe. The outsoles are quiet when walking down the halls...nothing less graceful than clanking down a hall!!! My new top favorite shoe line (I'm impressed so far).

Great shoe, but are you sure on the width? This shoe is a great shoe. It is very comfortable, once you get it on. This is my first day wearing the shoe, so I'm still breaking it in. However, I know a wide shoe when I see one, and this ain't it. Reading the other reviews, I realize I need to break this shoe in a few more days. Otherwise, this is a perfect loafer for the office and weekends. Plus, Zappos delivery was prompt. This has been my first purchase from them, but it won't be my last.

Bocca Review - This shoe is a good staple for your wardrobe and can be dressed up or down. The leather is firm and may take a bit longer to break in, but it is already getting more comfortable by the day. The shoe is a great shape. I am sure I will love them as much as my old Franco Sartos, which have lasted forever.

Not sure about the asymetrical toe! I ordered several models/brands in search of the perfect basic black loafer for my long narrow feet. This model was too wide for me. The toe was also more asymetrical than it looks online. I'm not sure I liked that look.

Smart shoe for work - These are great classic loafers, for work. They do take a little while to break in, but once you have broken them in they meddle to your foot. They look pretty snazzy, and have a nice heel that is neither too low, or high.

A great basic black loafer - They took a good day to break in but now they are really comfortable.

Great shoe! Great shoes! Very comfortable - I am on my feet all day and they are great for work. Patent leather makes for a clean and sophisticated look. They will take a few wearings to break in.

This shoe has a great look, and overall is a good fit, however, I was a little disappointed with its comfort. I do not have a wide foot, but this shoe is very narrow.

Love that Ruby Calf!! It works with so many things. The heel rubs a little, but overall a comfortable shoe for jeans and slacks. Plenty of room for piggies to wiggle around in the toe box. Nice leather and sole looks like it will last a long time.

Comfort - These shoes are the most comfortable shoes that I have ever worn. I now have both the black and the brown pair. If you are on your feet all day I suggest that you try them. You will not be disappointed.

Wore them into the ground! I needed a loafer that I could wear with no socks and this one was it! I wore it so much that the heel wore down and I need to have them fixed or buy another pair. Made it through 2 summers in NYC...well worth it!

MORE OPTIONS - I would like the other Bocca options available in wide widths. There are only 3. I am really interested in the Croco, but they are not offered in wide.

Patent leather is a fun for a change - I have gotten a lot of comments about these shoes from everyone. The style is quite conservative, but in black patent leather, they really shine. The only downside: my feet make a "sucking" sound as my foot moves around when I walk.

Bocca's have become a staple - Over the past several years, I have purchased numerous pairs of Bocca's in a variety of colors. They tend to run a little wider than other brands which works well for me. Their style is flexible and can be worn with jeans or business attire. I have been very happy with the shoe.

Comfy and versatile - This is my second pair of these shoes. I like them because they go with anything from jeans to dress pants to casual skirts and are very comfortable. The only bad thing about them is that the leather tends to wrinkle right away, making them lose that "new shoe" look. Although I am marking them "felt true to size" I think that they may run a *little* large.

Five Time Buyer - This is the most comfortable pair of shoes I can find! That's why I'm on my fifth pair! I work as Dealer in a Casino and stand on my feet all day long so my shoes must be comfortable. However, I do wish they would last longer. Then tend to fall apart quickly.

Classy Looking and Pretty Comfortable - I have an extremely hard foot to fit (I'm around an 11/11 1/2 W or WW), but this loafer has come the closest to a good fit that I've had in a while. It takes a couple of wearings to fully break this shoe in, but once it's broken in, it's quite comfortable. It's also a very snappy-looking shoe.
