This was a total impulse buy. I wasn't looking for this shoe but up it popped, and something about it makes it both practical (being a manageable height and really well made) and fanciful (strappy gold sandals?). The impulse paid off: it's impressively solid - I'm hard on shoes and these can definitely take fast walking all day. Was it my imagination or does the footbed actually flex a little with your foot? The color was the best surprise: it literally goes with anything (you can accessorize with either gold or silver), and adds a nice splash of color to what might be an otherwise somber outfit.

I was so disappointed when I tried this on. Unlike other Born shoes, the width of this sandal is not quite generous and my toes were all cramped. From the picture I thought I can controle the width of the front feet buckle, but it is actually fixed. So if you have wide web feet like mine, then this sandal is not for you. I had to return.

Love these. They are super comfy and so cute. Don't bother my bunion at all. Just enough heel if you just can't do the super high heel anymore. I go between 8 1/2 and 9. In these I took a 9.

As with all Born shoes, these are stylish with a little flair that makes them different and extemely comfortable! Even with the heel they feel almost like slippers! I always wear a 7 in Born shoes and these fit perfectly. I will wear them all summer long.

This is my second pair of the Alcalas and they are just as great as the first pair. I hardly wear heels at all anymore because they always leave my feet hurting, but I can walk quite a distance in these with no problems at all. I also get compliments on them all of the time. They can be dressed up or down. Great shoes. Only complaint in general is that Born doesn't offer half sizes in many styles, I sized down for these.

Kind of freaky wearing a pair of comfortable shoes that are cute. Love them. Goes perfect with jeans (perfect heel height) and cute with shorts (heel not too high, so you look like a lady).

I love these sandals. They are very sexy and stylish and also very comfortable. I have a hard time finding dress shoes with a heal I can wear all day comfortably and these are just perfect.

Beautiful shoe. Well made. Nice padded foot cushion. Too loose on my foot. Didn't feel stable. Too bad. I really like the shoe otherwise. If you have really slim feet this isn't the shoe for you.

I love these sandals! This is actually my second pair of Born Alcalas. Last summer I had a brown pair I wore to death, so I was delighted to see them again this season in such a luscious metallic color. The heel is just high enough to look sexy but not so high that it's difficult to walk in. In fact, I've done day-long garden tours in these shoes and had no pain or problems. I tend to be somewhat wide in the forefoot but don't find the strap to be snug or pinchy. I do wear the ankle strap on the tightest hole, so you might need to add a hole or two if you have really narrow ankles. All in all, I'd definitely recommend this shoe!

My weight and high arches could no longer handle all the other name brand shoes. These are my orthopedic cool shoes. Work in medical office on my feet 12 hours a day. I love this shoe!

Very comfortable sandal for when you want to be a little more dressed up, but still need comfort. Good heel height and nice cushiony insole - I can wear these for hours with no sore feet.

Yes, they are expensive, but really cute. More for spring and summer. I needed a specific color and they fit the bill.

Yes, my feet did slip forward in these sandals. Just the look I wanted, not the fit for the price! My other Born sandals from last year have the same problem. Also the heel was slippery hard plastic. Otherwise, Born is very good for wide feet.

The gold is very shiny and the material is slick, like a coating of clear plastic on top, not "leather" like at all. I am returning these; however, because I feel that the heel is uneven to the base of the shoe and it does not feel sturdy enough. Not that it is going to fall off by any means, it is part of the base of the shoe and well made, but too narrow for the heel and a potential "ankle turner".
