This sandal is both cute and super comfortable, which is hard to come by! I get so many compliments about these shoes. I walk a lot and have had no issues at all. Would highly recommend.

Do not hesitate! Buy these shoes! I have them in brown and wore them 3 days straight on a trip (lots of walking) and they are fabulous! Cute and well made, too. Of course they are Born; that's a given.

Shoe Size: Felt a half size larger than marked Shoe Arch: Excellent arch support Shoe Width: Felt wider than marked
Dorky Feet-Enlarger - I'm shocked! These shoes are so dorky they made my size 6 feet look like sailboats. All the straps are too loose...warning for those with small feet and ankles. The footbed was soft and cushy though, that's why I like Born shoes. These are my very first returned pair of shoes from Zappos. Sorry and thank you for the great service!

Absolutely love them! I have very sensitive ankles (having sprained them way too many times) and wanted a gladiator style sandal that would not rub against my ankle bones. This sandal is cushioned, has just the right amount of heel and will not rub against your ankle bones (it goes above the ankle bone at the slender point and looks fabulous).

Very comfortable shoe although for me the size 6 ran a bit large - their conversion to a European size was 36 1/2 which for me was larger than a US 6, but still comfortable.

Additional Brand Information

Born is a leading manufacturer of genuinely superior comfort footwear for men, women, and children. The line was created to fill a void in the footwear industry during a time when consumers demanded comfort, but had to sacrifice style in order to get it. The goal of Born footwear is to continue to focus on offering customers everywhere a brand that first and foremost provides comfort, but is also fashionable and fun to wear.

Why are Born shoes so comfortable? By using the art of "Opanka" hand-sewn construction combined with the finest quality materials, Born is able to craft shoes that are durable, lightweight and flexible, allowing the wearer to walk as if they were barefoot. In addition, soft supple leathers and shock-absorbing foam ensure the foot is wrapped in comfort.

Born shoes have been sold in premier retail stores since 1995 and their appeal to a variety of lifestyles continues to attract customers old and new. They offer a wide selection to men and women of style who have a young, free-spirited attitude about their footwear and lifestyle. Born shoes are “Works of Art” worn by all age groups, and their styles are as versatile as their customer base is diverse.

Reviewer: Kimmy from Albany, NY

The shoe is comfortable for extended wear like most Born shoes, but are a little more stylish than some of the older styles – it’s that hippie gladiator look. There are multiple adjustable straps to customize your fit, but the straps near the toes are not adjustable. Because of the set fit of the lower straps, I found the shoe to be tighter than most other Born shoes - which I think have a tendency to feel wider than other brands - making the width seem more like other brands.

I really love these shoes. Very fashionable, yet a lot of support so it doesn't feel like I'm walking on pavement, like most thin sandals. I especially like that there is an adjustable strap to adjust the tightness.

Did not like the look of this shoe! Maybe it's me... I tried this shoe in multi-colored leather and hated it right outta the box. Dorky shoe on my foot. Seems to fit but yet I feel like my foot is swimming in the style... not very flattering at all. Ecco makes a groove gladiator sandal that beats this one, hands down, in terms of look & comfort. Check it out...

Very pleased - These are really comfortable and work well with my summer skirts. We've had a few warm days and I've enjoyed wearing them.

Not wide enough - If Born would make different widths, they would be one of my favorite brands. Instead, I have to take a chance from time to time and see if the shoe fits. Sometimes, they are wide enough. In this case, it was not. Too bad, as it's a cute shoe that I imagine would be comfortable if it fit.
