I've been wearing the Franco Sarto Waxton Bootie for a few weeks now, and I'm absolutely in love. From the moment I slipped them on, I knew they were special. The leather is soft and supple, molding to my feet like they were made just for me.

What really surprised me was the comfort right out of the box. I wore them to a full day of meetings - walking across campus, standing during presentations - and my feet still felt great at the end of the day. The square toe gives just enough room to prevent any pinching.

The heel height (about 2 inches) is that sweet spot between stylish and practical. I've paired them with everything from skinny jeans to midi skirts, and they elevate every outfit. The rich brown color is versatile enough for both casual Fridays and more formal occasions.

After several wears, I'm noticing the leather developing beautiful wrinkles that add character - it's breaking in nicely rather than looking worn out. The stitching has held up perfectly through rain puddles and crowded subway rides.

My only minor critique? The inside lining feels a bit basic compared to the luxurious exterior leather. But at this price point, it's a compromise I'm happy to make for such stylish, comfortable boots that are clearly built to last.
