My new favorite shoe. I got the black and I'm in love with them. I'm ordering the orange now. I needed something to replace flip-flops because they started to hurt my feet and back as I get into my 40s. these are the answer. they feel secure on my feet, and stable. they are light too, and often wedges are heavy and clunky. they are cute too, not too hippie-ish, still girlie. I adore them. Get!

Zappos, again, was great with the service. I ordered this pair at 6:00 PM last night and they arrived today! Unfortunately, I have a high instep and I cannot get into them. I am stuck about halfway into the shoe. So they must go back. I am very disappointed. I do not usually have this problem with Born shoes, and I have very many pairs. I think if you have a lower instep or narrow feet these would work, but I have neither.

Add me to the list of people who don't like the new pointy toe. Other than that, they fit fine and were comfy. They just didn't look right in the toe area and my little toes felt squished. I'm normally an 8 1/2 in Clarks and a 8 in Born. The 8 fit fine except for the toes.

I'd also recommend: Pikolinos, Rieker, Clarks, Birkenstocks, Naot

I love these shoes. The only thing I would change about them is I wish they came in 7 1/2. I had to buy the 8 because they didn't come in half sizes.

I'd also recommend: Clark

This is an AWESOME shoe! It is so comfortable and very cool looking. I generally do not like the look of sandals, in part because I have large feet (size 11). These look great, and minimize the foot. Despite the platform height they are super comfortable to walk in. Very high quality construction! I want every BORN shoe now!
