Great sandal with dressy jeans. Really comfortable, especially considering the heel height. The sandal is substantial enough that I can wear it to work and fun enough to wear out at night too. Highly recommend.

I am so pleased that I purchased this shoe. I enjoy wearing beautiful, well made shoes and have grown so tired of purchasing shoes that don't last more than a season. This shoe is so well made, extremely comfortable and adorable. I get compliments each and every time I wear them, which is often. I am a runner and so am careful about what I wear to protect my feet, but refuse to wear frumpy unattractive footwear and know that there are shoes out there that don't require me to sacrifice style for comfort. This Born shoe is the perfect combination of both and looks great with jeans, shorts and casual dresses. They do not feel 3 inches high and I am able to wear them all day. I purchased the first pair in brown and thought that I'd like the black also. Unfortunately the black gives off a biker-chick vibe that I'm not going for! However, I'm sure I'll find something to wear them with.

Beautiful shoe. I got them about a month ago and I have worn them about 3 times since. What is likable about this shoe is the fact that there are adjustable buckles that adjust for days when your feet are swollen. That's the good part, but with that being said, the bad part is that the buckles kind of pinch the sides of your foot with prolonged wear. Other than that, the height of the heel and the size of the heel are great. It is a thicker heel which lets one wear them for a longer time without discomfort. So I guess if you were to add the pros and cons, you get a beautiful summer sandal that's great with long or short skirts or even shorts. Not pants, you really should show these shoes off.

I usually love the fit of Born shoes… so cushy and comfortable. These shoes look great, but are not very comfortable. They do not have the standard cushion inside and even with the buckle adjusted to the last hole, my toes feel like they do not have much room. They are okay if you are not doing much walking. I have worn them to work several times and by the end of the day, my feet are killing me! This is one Born style that I would not recommend, especially if you have wide feet.

These are really wonderful: sexy, comfy, perfect with skirts, slacks, jeans, capris... I wear them to work where I stand for 4 hours as a teacher. They did rub on one toe (the stitching as other reviewers have noted) the first time out. Frankly something on every shoe "rubs" if I stand or walk in it for 4 hours! These are ultimately very, very comfortable and so sexy and cute, what more can you want. Buy a bandaid and wear it for a day, then it’s fine!

Not as comfortable as other born sandals - These shoes are pretty hot with the three straps on the front. But I was surprised that they were not as softly cushioned as I would expect. As another reviewer mentioned, the stitching/cushioning on the footbed became painful after a while. And the toe buckle gave a blister. Not recommended for all day romping around the city, but still a hot shoe.

These shoes are super sexy! They are a great casual heel with a punch of WOW! They are comfortable. One minor complaint is the stitching on the sole, underneath the toes...a tiny rough on my sensitive toes. I'm a size 71/2 and I ordered the size 8, they fit great. I'm going to get a great pedicure just wear them the right way.

I can't wait to wear these out - These shoes are really hot! I can't wait for my husband to see them! :) Seems a teeny bit small length wise, but I think they'll be fine. Wish there was a 9.5. But really cute and seems comfy.

First day wearing these - really comfortable except for my 2 little toes are getting sore - put a band-aid on them - feels better - hope this gets better as they wear in. Really sharp shoes.

Great summer shoes for all occasions - These are perfect summer shoes. They are somewhat casual, cool and sexy. And very comfortable. They look great with skirts or jeans and I find them very good even if you are on your feet a lot. The size 9's were a tiny bit larger than I needed, but since they are open shoes, it didn't matter. Generally I order an 8.5 in Born shoes because they do run a little big. Overall, these are great!

Cute, comfy, and I love em! Even without the platform, this sandal is amazingly cute on the foot and comfortable! Fits great and I HIGHLY RECOMMEND this sandal for people with feet on the wide side...the buckles give you that extra room that feels so good. Get em, you'll love em. I do. Wish they had them in red!!

Casual yet classy - I was a bit put off by the heel. But after wearing them around the house (still too cold outside for sandals), I was surprised at how comfortable they are. They look good with jeans, slacks and casual skirts and dresses.
