Love Franco Sarto shoes, have worn them for years, and size 8.5 always fits me perfectly. BUT, these pumps are tight across my toes, and my heel pops out. They just won't stay on. Love the look and style, and the leather is beautiful. Alas....

Lovely shoes. Really lovely. A modern take on a classic. So lovely that even though they are kind of uncomfortable I'm keeping them. These shoes are not for walking long distances. They slip a bit. I just purchased some pads to go in them so I'll see if that helps and I'll report back. I think that these shoes will be fine for days when I'm mostly at my desk or lecturing. Regarding the slippage: I tried the size 1/2 down and it was far too small. So there is just some sort of odd sizing issue. A friend of mine had the same problem.

I got this in a 5 which is usually my size. I found that these run about half a size larger. Maybe three quarters size larger. I can usually put a heel pad to keep the heel from slipping, but these slip even with a heel pad. I wish they came in 4½ because they are well balanced, perfect for work, and comfortable for the height. Oh well, they have to go back.

These fit perfectly, seem very comfortable upon first wear and have a nice lift in the sole. They are highly recommended.

Flattering style that should be easier to keep clean than an all nude colored shoe. Taupe color tends towards gray rather than nude.
