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.

Ordered half size up as suggested it worked well. Fit my feet great - I have average width toe box/feet bordering wide by the end of the day. Strap across toes felt comfortable. Ankle strap fastens with Velcro, which I missed in the description. Velcro is easier to get ankle straps on/off, but will wear down with time/dirt. And it's not the look I am going for. The ankle strap is very thick and it presses on my ankle while I walked around my apartment. The shoe was also a little clunky for me while walking, but this shoe would be comfortable if you're just standing in one place all day. I'm not sure if I could stand walking more than a few blocks straight in these, so returning.

I have 4 pairs of these: white, hot pink, red suede and cognac. I absolutely love them and wear them all the time. Some are more than 1 year old. Mine fit perfectly and they do not break. I can only guess that the people having problems have normal to wide feet and weigh too much for the shoes. Highly recommend.

Yo no puedo comprobar que haya un error con la talla del zapato. No tiene el numero de talla marcado. La caja del zapato dice 8.5 US. Pero el zapato es muy muy chico y angosto.

So happy to find this shoe available in wide width. I don't' wear heels very well, but this super cute wedge espadrille with the 1" platform in front was pretty great. I used a clear cushion insert to help with comfort, and I was able to wear these heels as I zipped about my home hosting a big party for 3+ hours. I've been looking for a cute pair of platform espadrilles and it's hard to find wide width options. I am really happy with these shoes. Note, the wedge does not have any flexibility, but the ankle strap allowed my foot to flex when I walk and somehow it all worked and the rigid wedge wasn't an issue. (I have slim ankles, so they fit well at the ankles.)

I love the look and the quality of the leather. I also loved the comfort of the insole. The only problem was the ankle strap is attached to the heel which is attached to the platform and there is no give to the strap when you walk. If there was some good quality elastic under the buckle it would allow for give of the ankle strap when walking. I love this shoe and was sad to return it only because the ankle strap had no give when walking! I almost decided to keep it and see if a shoe repair shop could add elastic under the buckle but didn’t want the added cost.

I ordered half a size up than my usual size, and they fit perfectly, they look and feel great. One of the best choices I have made in footwear for a while. I'm happy with my purchase.

Love these I have them in 2 colors and got my 11 yr daughter a pair - perfect go to wedges - love the easy strap - heel is not to high which is great - I have wide feet and they don’t hurt at all - buy them!

Franco Sarto is my go-to brand. I was expecting these to be leather for some reason, but they are a canvas of some sort. Nonetheless, they’re super cute!Pros:No need to break in. They felt fine out of the box.The footbed is soft and has memory foam!The ankle strap is not confining. I’d never owned a pair of sandals like this before so I was a bit nervous about how I’d fare in them. I am very clumsy. But they’re fine! I am amazed! I now own 2 more pair (black & silver snakeskin).The Velcro strap is great - very durable & easy to put on. Yes, at 43 I’m already extolling the virtues of Velcro. What is my life?ConsI can’t really come up with any other than I’m taller in them so I’m now asked to reach things on the higher shelves in the kitchen & I have no excuse.I think you could easily walk most/all day in these and be comfortable. They are deceptively comfortable. The arch really isn’t that high but you get the look of sleek legs and high heels without the pain. They go with pretty much everything in a spring and summer wardrobe, and this pattern is particularly versatile. They run TTS, perhaps narrow if you own the flatbed FS sandals and find them TTS. I find those wide (but I wear them anyway!). I wear an 8 in FS, Nike, and a 7.5 in Toms sandal dress shoes/flats and Nine West heels (*now* - in years past I wore an 8. My old 8’s still fit but I need a 7.5 in the styles I buy now. Odd) if this helps.I’ve found the leather versions to be a bit looser across the toes, but not enough to affect sizing, just something I noticed. I suppose leather has more give.I hope this was helpful! :-)

I am so pleased with these sandals. I was look for ankle strap espadrilles and fell in love with these. I was worried that they would take ages to come from the USA, but they were with me in a few days. They came well packaged and in the original Franco Sarto box. They are incredibly comfortable, the strap is so easy to adjust, as it is velcro. the heel is a perfect height and the inside is very soft. I checked another pair of my shoes to confirm the US size, I am a UK 6 and these are a US 8 and fit perfectly, happy to recommend and I might get another colour way
