I love my Plumeria shoes. I got the white and usually wear a size 8 1/2; but after reading the reviews I got a size 7 because I have very narrow feet. The smaller size makes up for the width. They fit great and I love the look.

This is a very comfortable sandal, even for me. I have wide feet, and it is difficult to find shoes/sandals that fit me. The sandal is very pretty. However, since the heel is non-existent, it is not very flattering to one\'s legs, especially when wearing a skirt.

Love this shoe. I normally wear a 6 1/2 in Born, but since this only comes in full sizes, I ordered a 6. It fit perfectly. The flower is so cute, it\'s a little large, but still looks great. The shoe is very comfortable.

A beautiful, beautiful sandal. I wear 8 1/2 and size 8 was perfect. I get wow! comments every time I wear them.

Very comforatble shoe ~ so much so I almost kept them. However, the plumeria flower was too overwhelming for my foot. This shoe on my foot lets only my big toe peek out. All the others where completely hidden beneath the flower. I\'d have kept it if it were a smaller flower. Love the soft floppy petals though. Such a big flower has a definate flare for only certain outfits.

I bought the teal; they are comfy and cute. Perfect with summer skirts or shorts. Just love them. All the joys of a flip-flop without the thongy thing between your toes.

What a fun summer shoe! They just make me feel slightly tropical and happy. I've gotten so many compliments on them. I ordered the lilac and then had to get the white. The lilac is a little hard to match to. I wanted to wear more purple things with it, but the lilac color has a lot of pink in it so I have to be careful. It's too bad this shoe doesn't come in black, brown, or hot pink. I think it's really cute though and very functional, especially for hot Texas weather. The shoes do take a little more breaking in than other Borns I own, but nothing unmanageable.

Saw these in O Magazine and just had to have them! I ordered one pair, received them the next day, and ordered two more in different colors. They are so comfortable and will never go out of style. I ordered my normal size and they fit perfectly. Whenever I see a shoe I like, I order it from Zappos (free shipping both ways) and their customer service is the best I've experienced. Don't hesitate to buy from them. Keep up the good work!

Love the shoe. I have arthritis so I need something flat, this is the perfect shoe. I wear a 7 1/2 but have always ordered an 8 in this brand, but the 8 in this shoe is too big. My foot slides forward off the end of the shoe. I bought inserts for them because I wore them outside before I noticed and they are great but a 7 would have been perfect!

Very pretty shoe, they did have a short break in period for me but now they are great. Not a whole lot of arch support so wouldn't wear when I have a lot of standing or walking to do but love them for casual dinner out, pool parties, etc. Bought the teal and received many compliments. Thinking about getting another color. Most Borns run large so bought a size down and they are perfect.

Talk about comfort, this is the sandal for that. Pretty and very well made too.Worth the money if you are a sandal lover. Oh, yes they also come with there very own little bags to be kept up in closet.

This is an awesome sandal. Cute, stylish, cushioned, slight heel so it's not so flat. Goes with everything! Can walk for hours in it. Flower is large so take that into consideration. Personally, I love the look of the big flower. Kinda hides your little toes so great for a person who has ugly baby toes. LOL. I was between sizes and went down a size to a size 6 and length was perfect. Not to tight across foot either.

I love my new Born Plumeria from Zappos. They are extremely comfortable. I have not seen shoes like these at the mall. I receive compliments about them whenever I wear them. My co-workers call them the “cute shoes”.

I love these shoes, they are incredibly comfortable for all day running around, which is rare. I have had knee, ankle, and back injuries and can get pretty achy and uncomfortable. Somehow Born put together a really cute shoe and still managed to keep it comfortable! I bought them in teal and get lots of compliments. *Note: it is a slide without the toe post.

Oh my gosh! I ordered these sandals yesterday before 4pm, and they are here already at 4pm the next day! I love Zappos!!! These sandals are so comfortable and VERY cute! I will be keeping them and recommending Zappos to everyone! I normally wear an 8 1/2 or 9 in a shoe, but an 8 in a sandal. I ordered an 8 in this sandal and they are perfect!

Shoe Size: Felt a full size smaller than marked Shoe Width: Felt wider than marked
Way too cute - I think these are just too cute for a summer sandal. I bought them to go with a couple of maxi dresses I have. Love the workmanship and quality. I had not purchased Born shoes before, so tried a similar pair on at a department store before ordering. I'm glad I did as I wore a full size smaller. I wish they came in half sizes though as it just feels a tiny bit smaller than I'm used to. But they are leather, so there will be some give. I usually wear a wide width shoe, but this one must run a bit wide anyway as it worked.

Love, love, love these shoes!! They are super comfortable on. They fit very true to size for me. I couldn't decide between the pink and the teal. So, I am getting both. The flower is structured enough to hold up, but soft enough for comfort and a floppy look. They are so cheerful and summery.

Beautiful sandal. Well made and good quality. I wear and 8.5 and ordered an 8. Length was good. I do have a wide foot and my little toe was almost off the side of the sandal. I chose to keep this size as other reviewers said that the next size up would be too long in the footbed although I might have gotten more width from a larger size. Love the sandal. Probably will order another pair in a different color.
