Review of Vintage-Inspired Franco Sarto Arch Round Toe Pumps

A round toe pump is nothing new and there really isn’t anything groundbreaking in its design. It’s basically an open shoe with or without a heel – and that’s it.

But there’s something about these vintage-inspired Franco Sarto Arch round toe pumps that’s got us looking a lot longer than we should have:

Deceptively plain-looking, this is actually one very exquisitely designed shoe.

First off, that toe is rounded to the right degree. It’s not pointy (some round toes still look pointy, we don’t know why) and the toecap  is lifted so it doesn’t make the feet look short and stubby. The toe to heel transition is perfectly arched, and that sensible stacked square heel with the slight curve balances out its towering 2 3/4-inch height.

The divine cuoio leather, the buckles, and the contrast stitching are really just bonuses, although the gold hardware really sets off the color on these brown Franco Sarto Arch pumps (silver is used for the black version).

Oh and did we mention that the soles are rubber? The upper part of the shoe may be vintage inspired, but that grippy rubber sole will let it keep up with a modern woman’s busy schedule:

We imagine light, frilly dresses and boho skirts with these shoes, but wear them with a structured knee-length dress or a blazer and skirt ensemble to make them work-appropriate.

The black Franco Sarto Arch round toe pumps are $88.95, but these brown ones are 30% off! Get them for $75.00 at Zappos.com.
