Love these shoes!!! Have received countless compliments on them, and all ladies love that. The size was perfect. I do have a bit wider foot, but with a little wearing they do stretch at the band. Born continues to make comfortable and classy shoes that I love. Thanks Zappos for the fast delivery, just in time for the 4th of July celebrations. A+

Love these shoes. Wear them a few days a week. Professional enough to wear at work. Using Foot Petals to avoid the tendency for foot to slide forward.

These look so beautiful on your feet and still pretty comfortable. Size 7 fit perfect, although sometimes I need size 7 1/2. Definitely recommend, very elegant, can dress up or down!

Stretched out heel strap!
I bought these shoes online in early spring and could not wait until it got warm enough to wear them. What a combination of comfort and style! Unfortunately, after only a couple of weeks, the heel strap stretched out and now it just falls down, so it's like wearing slides, but with an annoying extra strap flopping around. I love, love, love Born shoes and am so disappointed about this!

These are nice shoes, fairly comfortable. The only issue is the back strap tends to slip off your heel as your foot slides forward. Even in the right size. They look beautiful and are worth a little annoyance for the fashion. They look great with a summer business suit. Substantial enough to be business appropriate.

Blini Bling!
Back in 1962 my Barbie doll had a pair of sandals like these and when I saw them in the Zappos lineup for Born, I just had to have them. In black. My heels are narrow and my toes are wide so the sling back is a little loose. Alas, the arch support does not have the typical substantive Born cushion. Still, they're the right size and I just couldn't give them up - especially after all the compliments I've received - so I asked my shoe repairman to fashion an extra arch cushion. He also tightened the slip back strap. Perfecto!

Best shoe ever!
The most comfortable shoe ever. I have foot problems, but not with these. If you have a real narrow foot, it may be too wide, but for everyone else, it is exceptional.

I love Zappos!! Absolutely the best place to buy shoes. This little shoe is adorable and I have always loved Born; however, this is the least comfortable one I have ever worn. It makes the bottom of my foot burn after I have walked in it just a little while. Get lots of compliments though.

Even cuter in real life! Comfortable--just got them as a surprise bday gift (we should all have husbands who pay attention to their wives!)--I got the black (but am ordering the brown, too)...they are really comfortable-and feel true to size. Kind of tall heel, but not uncomfortable on the ball of my feet (which always hurt unless I wear Borns or Danskos). Can't wait to wear these out!

Born Blini sandal -
Very cute! The long loopy strap fits a little loosely compared to the front strap, which is just right.

Great Sandal!
I absolutely LOVE, LOVE, LOVE Zappos! They have AMAZING customer service. They never disappoint! Not to mention that this shoe is very comfortable which is important to me because I have foot problems and find it hard to find stylish yet comfy shoes. I highly recommend it!

Great Shoe!
This shoe fits like a glove, is very flattering and comfortable. I like it so much that I bought it in brown and black. Zappos is very easy to order from and delivery is always so fast. They're the best.
