Thanks for sharing. The soles look fab and with great grip. I would also order the red if I did not already have so many pairs of mocs.<br /> Enjoy your great find. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/psa-alternative-to-franco-sarto-jolette#post-1929865 Tue, 19 Jun 2018 16:34:40 +0000 Angie 1929865@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p><b>Suz</b>, did you ever try the Jolettes - HALF a size down?&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/psa-alternative-to-franco-sarto-jolette#post-1929859 Tue, 19 Jun 2018 16:23:30 +0000 RobinF 1929859@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Really cute!

That's EXACTLY what we need </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/psa-alternative-to-franco-sarto-jolette#post-1929831 Tue, 19 Jun 2018 15:30:03 +0000 Chris987 1929831@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thanks Angie! So we need them to make a solid (non perforated) version, in white for you and cognac for me, and maybe narrow width for you. I'll put that order in right away! Maybe if I remind them that I had a pair of dark brown suede slingback flats in the late 70's made by "earth shoes" they will take my suggestions...:-) </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/psa-alternative-to-franco-sarto-jolette#post-1929823 Tue, 19 Jun 2018 15:20:08 +0000 Angie 1929823@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Wooohooo. Thanks, <b>Chris</b>. They look GREAT. I wish they came in white....(they look a little wide for me, maybe - but I'll try them anyway).&nbsp;</p> <p>YES, I have four pairs of the FS Jolette - and ALL four pairs are in full rotation. They look dressier than than the Earths, which is a good thing for my style,<b></b> </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/psa-alternative-to-franco-sarto-jolette#post-1929776 Tue, 19 Jun 2018 13:41:51 +0000 Chris987 1929776@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>The&nbsp;Franco Sarto Jolette &nbsp;penny loafer has been a favorite here on YLF in the last year or so, and with good reason. I think Angie has four pairs! I have them in black suede and wore them quite a bit last fall and winter. Very comfortable, classic yet&nbsp; modern. &nbsp;However, for my feet, they don't provide quite enough sole cushioning for all-day wear. I may get another pair for fall and if I do I'll size up so I can add a cushioned insert. I've done this successfully with another pair of FS loafers. </p> <p>Meantime I found these Earth Maslo&nbsp; red loafers that have that additional cushioning, and were comfortable for a long day of wear right out of the box, feet VERY HAPPY!&nbsp;The&nbsp;white sole of the Maslo makes them perhaps&nbsp;a little more sporty/casual than the Jolette.&nbsp; The leather is quite soft, and I've worn them with and without sheer nylon knee-highs, with no rubbing or blisters. I only wish they came in a non-perforated style because the perforations do make them chilly to wear once&nbsp;the weather gets cold. I'll be looking at NAS and later on to see if Earth comes out with a non-perforated model. </p> <p>The finds:</p> <p>the black Jolette and red Maslo are the ones I have.</p> <p>The two finds for the Jolette in silver have Angie's top pick descriptions (click on the&nbsp;"i" in the lower left&nbsp;corner) &nbsp;- worth a read if&nbsp;you haven't seen them already &nbsp;</p> <p><div><br /></div></p>
