I wanted to love these so bad,but had to return! I love the chunky style of the heel. But I have a wide toe box and there was no way I could survive a day with these on. The toe box is cut VERY narrow. I would try a wide, but my heels are so narrow, and the heel on these fit quite well, I don’t want to go larger. May work for you if your foot is consistently narrow.

Material is not great

I bought these in my normal size and a 1/2 size up and I found my normal size was good. I can see what other reviewers mean about the small toe box. My feet are not especially wide, but I can see how that could easily be an issue. The heel does have a lot of room and was slipping way too much in the larger size, so I returned them. I have gotten a ton of compliments on them and they are really cute if you can handle the narrowness in the toe box.

I love these loafers! They are fun, comfortable and stylish! I wear them a lot and they still look brand new! I love the Carolyn Loafer as well, but the material on these is softer and more flexible. Not as stiff as the Carolyn and just as beautiful. I really like the crinkle pattern they have. I get many compliments on them! Also, I have plantar fasciitis and I am grateful I am able to wear super cute shoes and not have foot pain during or after wear.

I really love the shoes. They have good cushion in them. They are a tiny bit on the small size of a 6.5 so I’ll have to wear them without socks or very thin nylon socks.

Somehow these shoes were simultaneously too large and small at the same time. I’m a 7.5M in most shoes and ordered a 7.5M. They ended up fitting tight in the toe box but loose at the heel where my foot felt like it slipped out anytime I took a step. They are also really heavy and I wouldn’t anticipate them being super comfortable to wear all day. What a shame because aesthetically these are cute.

Very versatile and comfortable. Comfortable for walking, appropriate for work, but fun enough to wear out.

They are a little tight, but OMG, I LOVE this style so much!! They add more height that I realize until I take them off. These are awesome. I wear them with skirts, jeans, everything. So sharp. Love these!

I am typcially an 8.5 in Franco Sarto shoes, so I started with 8.5 and then were a bit big and knew they would get a bit stretched as I wore them, so I ordered the 8 to see how it would work. The 8 was a bit snug, but I wore them around my house and they became more comfortable with time. I would say these seem to be about a half size big.

A little stiff at first but softened up after one wear. I traveled in them for 12 hours – very comfortable. Lots of compliments

I ordered a 9.5W and they fit wonderfully! They were comfortable however The style was a bit more masculine that I had hoped for!

Really snug on the heel. If they were leather, I’d try to break them in. Sole was super comfy

Nice lug-sole loafer. However, the toe shape too pointed and narrow across the forefoot, even in a size 7W! Disappointed.

I love my Franco Sarto Balin loafers. I’m usually a 7 but they felt too tight so I went up to a 7.5 they fit perfect. I wear them with skirts, dresses, jeans and pants. I love that I can dress them up or down and they look amazing. They are comfy enough to wear every day. They feel even better once broken in. I like them so much I want to get them in a different color I just cannot decide what color that is.

I love these shoes, but the midnight navy is super super dark. It looks much more like black than navy. Sadly I had to return.

I wore these shoes for 4 months and they fell apart I do not recommend these shoes of very poor quality at all Waste of money

Best loafers anywhere I wore these right out of the box and walked two miles. No problem and I have bad feet. I require WIDE WIDTH and these were available but more wide are needed.

Beautiful loafer, just what I was looking for. Runs a little big. I normally wear 8.5 in sandals of shoes worm without socks (9 in sneakers) but these were a bit long. Wish I had gotten the size 8.

Shoe looks very nicely made, comfortable. I was just looking for a shoe like this with a higher, more pronounced heel appearance. Unfortunately, not exactly what I was looking for, but very nice quality!

Fit and size was perfect for me.

This loafer is great. Very comfortable. I actually watched it on another site but before I purchased I checked Zappos and they had the best price.

This is the second pair of this style of Franco Sarto shoes. They’re generally comfortable for all-day wear (I work in an office setting). I wish they were leather (they’re man-made materials) but the style works so I’m dealing with the un-natural material. I find leather shoes offer breathability and are less prone to developing shoe odor in the long run.

They seemed a little snug at first to get my feet into, but once on and wearing around the house, they relaxed a bit and I LOVE them.

I needed a really deep navy to go with a couple of outfits. These worked beautifully.
