Born Reviews
Just like all of my other pairs of Born shoes, these sandals are super comfortable -- I've been wearing them almost every day. They fit a bit loose around my foot (common for me with Born) but I haven't had any problems with rubbing at either the straps or the heel. The very slight wedge heel is great for walking.
This is a cute shoe - comfy too! The blue is a rich denim - looks great with lots! I'm a size 8 & Borns usually run true to size for me.

Overall: Comfort: Style:
I ordered this style because I ordered Born before and it was so comfortable. It arrived in less than 2 days. I tried to fit in, but the shoes were too small. My foot cannot get through the straps. I was dissapointed.
A little too wide based on what I've come to expect from Born. I went down a full size to a 10 (too bad they don't make 10.5 or that would have been perfect!) and they're not quite as long as I'd prefer but they'll be fine. Great-looking and comfortable!
Way too wide! I've always worn an 11M in Born, but these were so wide I tried a 10 (which are not quite as long as I'd prefer but will be okay). Very cute & comfortable, though.
I purchased the blue one. It is absolutely beautiful on. Felt comfortable to walk on. Born does a great job. The shoe goes with everything from jeans to dressy.
Warning! Read my review on the Born Cabot before you make the mistake of buying Sheldon (http://vip.zappos.com/born-cabot-walnut-dark-brown-full-grain-leath?zfcTest=fcl%3A0). The Sheldon is the Cabot without a toe cap. And unless Born has replaced that fatal elastic cord described in my Cabot review with something like a titanium cable, the Sheldon is doomed to fall apart within a few months of ordinary use just as my Cabots did last year. A good substitute? I see that the Born Alfie is back in Zappos stock. I bought the Alfie several years ago and it was a Born champion and a real challenge to wear out (plus it has a toe cap, which I prefer in my sandals for the extra protection a toe cap provides in rough service). If Caesar's Legions had been equipped with Born's Alfie, they would still be marching.
I had a similar shoe by Born (Hazel) my most comfortable pair of shoes, unfortunately one of my puppies chewed one of the pair, (go figure). This is just as comfortable, right from the first time I stepped into them. I can wear them all day with great comfort.
I really, really like these sandals. I ordered several different styles to try on at home, and with this pair I knew right away. So comfortable! I like that they are so cushioned, yet they feel sturdy and supportive (I have flat arches). I also love how soft the straps are and that they are just the right width so as not to cut or rub when I walk. I wanted something that I could wear to work without having to change once I got to the office, and these fit the bill! I think these will be my new go-to and I might order another color.
Sandals are cute and see comfortable however they are not for wider feet. They also run short. An 11 gives me plenty of room however I had no room length in these shoes.
I thought these looked really cute. I was trying to find something to replace my city gap ballet flats that aren't available any more. For me, these shoes were too cute as in what a young girl with a pretty Easter dress would wear. I needed more daily, casual and sporty with jeans look. I really like the color. I gave a 3 for comfort because they felt a little stiff. But I returned them. So... Maybe if I was younger and sweeter, I'd like them. ;)
I have had these shoes for about a month now. Love them. Extremely comfortable and a great casual shoe that works for most occasions. Zappos delivered quick and the experience has been very good overall.
These shoes ROCK! They have that wonderful combination of being comfortable and very stylish. They look great with jeans and the heel isn't so high as to pitch you forward (not a good look)but tall enough to give that little lift and flatter. Born shoes work for me and this pair was no exception.
I wear a 9 or 9½ and got these in a 9 in Purple. They fit perfectly, look very nice, and are possibly the most comfortable, pillow like shoes that I have ever worn. Moreover, these are the only flats that I have ever purchased that offer arch support. I first tried the comparable flats in Frye (the Carson) and they offered zero support and were not high quality so I returned them. These shoes are miles above the Frye shoes, soft quality leather, and less expensive. I have lots of shoes, designer and otherwise, and this is the only pair of shoes that I have had for a decade (other than Ferragamos which were gifted to me) is a pair of Born wedge sandals that hold up like new. Thumbs up.
I bought my first pair of these at Macy's. There is no break in time. I stand up all day at work for over eight hours and they feel like pillows on my feet, or very soft slippers! I absolutely love them and if I could afford it, I would buy all the colors! Seriously, I can wear these all day with no discomfort. I am going to come back each month to buy another color!
Wow! Amazingly comfortable right out of the box! Like walking on pillows, and surprisingly lightweight! I just got these today, so they have not been field tested, but between the immediate comfort & having worn Born before, I know this shoe is a winner! Very nice looking too. I got these for an upcoming trip to Italy, and while I'd love to wear a more strappy, sexy sandal with some of my outfits, I know that I'll be doing a lot of walking and comfort is the prime concern. However, these are really sharp looking and will go nicely with capris, shorts, skirts, maxi dresses, etc. As far as fit...I have a very average foot...size 8. Not too wide or narrow, a regular arch, and depending on the brand, I'm either an 8 or an 8-1/2. I have other Born shoes that are size 8, and this was a slam dunk perfect fit. There are two straps for adjustments, so I think these shoes can easily accommodate feet that are wider or more narrow. I have to admit, I was a little leery of buying these because I was not able to find a single review anywhere online from someone who actually has these. (I guess they're new?) Anyway, I figured between these being Born, and buying from Zappos, how on earth could I go wrong? And I was right...these shoes are amazing!
Very comfy, but run large. I wear a 6.5 - 7, so I bought 7 in these. They felt a little big, but didn't rub and had the strap around the ankle to keep them on, so I decided to keep them. Now that I have had them a little while I really wish I had tried the 6. I really notice how loose they are on the foot when walking up a slope or a rough surface, like cobblestone. I also noticed that Zappos doesn't show the Euro sizes on the website, but the box label listed a size 7 as Euro 38. Is a size 6 a Euro 37 for Born? Knowing that would have helped me choose a size. Overall I love these shoes and hope my cobbler can take in some straps for me, these shoes are worth it!
These are lovely shoes and the size is true, however the crisscross strap is really big/wide. I suppose it would be good if your feet swell during the day but when they're not, I'm fearful I'll be slipping all over. I wish there was a way to tighten that portion but alas there isn't so they have to go back. I really liked the sea foam color too, I bet they go with everything.
