Franco Sarto brings Italian-inspired design to the slingback, working the silhouette from flat and kitten heights up to sculpted heels in leather, suede, calf hair, and woven faux raffia. Pair a pointed-toe kitten heel with tailored trousers, a square-toe flat slingback with cropped denim, or a sculpted heel under an evening dress.

Adjustable buckles and stretch straps set the fit at the heel for a secure hold, and select leather styles are sourced through Leather Working Group-audited factories. Some push the silhouette further, like a slingback built on a loafer's frame or a heel sculpted in clear lucite..

What types of slingbacks does Franco Sarto offer?

Franco Sarto offers slingbacks in flats, kitten heels, block heels, and sculpted high heels, with pointed, square, round, and snip toes. Materials include leather, suede, calf hair, fabric, and woven faux raffia, with both flat slingbacks and slingback pumps in the collection.

Are Franco Sarto slingbacks comfortable?

Yes. The adjustable buckles and stretch straps let you adjust how the shoe sits at the heel, which keeps it secure and limits slipping. Select styles feature InFORMA comfort technology, with foam padding at key pressure points and an insole contoured to the foot, alongside eco-conscious linings.

What is the difference between a slingback and a pump?

A pump has a closed back and heel counter, while a slingback leaves the heel open and holds the foot with a strap across the back. The strap makes a slingback feel more relaxed and adjustable to your fit, and the open heel gives the shoe a lighter look while keeping the structured front of a pump.
