I LOVE my Franco Sarto boots (2 pair) and FS loafers.  These seemed like they would be perfect, since I am in dire need of black pumps that look sharp, and a lot of brands are not making size 5.5 anymore.  I was disappointed in these for 2 reasons.  First, the patent leather toe does not look right with the mary jane strap-- the patent toe is extremely dressy, and the strap is more whimsical.  It is a weird effect.  Also, there was no cushioning at all in the shoe, and it was just a little pinchy at the toe.  The comfort was not a huge problem, however, and if it had been perfect looking I'd have kept this purchase.  Alas, it had to go back.
