So pretty and comfortable. I love it and I'm picky about sandals. I choose comfort over looks, but with this one really hits the spot.

These are not as comfortable as my other Borns - but they are more stylish. Great for dressing up jeans.

I normally wear a 8.5/9 so tried a 9. The length was a bit too long but more importantly it was a bit too wide. With a cute wedge this high, I want my foot firmly held in the shoe. Got it in an 8 and it's a perfect width and length. I'd recommend 1/2 to 1 size smaller than you normally wear. Went with Born brand because I have Born flat leather sandals that I've worn for years that are so comfortable and are so well made that they have lasted for many a summer.

I normally do not wear heels this high but with the platform and the instep padding this shoe is very comfortable. I have a high instep and wide foot and while I normally wear size 10 in Born clogs I found size 9 a great fit in this sandal. I liked it so much that I ordered it in the brown also and cannot wait to wear both this spring/summer.

Very comfy, nice looking shoe. Heel is short enough to be easy on the tootsies and high enough so that you feel a little dressy. Perfect.

I needed a comfortable black sandal with a heel for work and these fit the bill. Super comfortable all day the first time I wore them. Goes great with jeans or skirts. I highly recommend this style.

Love them - true to size wore them right out of the box all day long. Great and comfortable! My feet tend to be a little wider and they don't feel too high at all and very stable.

I love these shoes! They look like slides my mom wore in the '70s, but they're much more comfortable. I have another pair in black that I wear in concerts, and they feel great even when I'm on my feet for two hours.

These shoes are so comfy! I never even had to break them in! No new sandal blisters or rubbing... I love them! I wear a size 10 and after a few wearings, they feel slightly loose, which makes me wonder if I should have ordered a 9.5? Time will tell I guess...

Really had high hopes for this shoe, because I wanted one that I could walk in comfortably with a medium heel. They do fit very nicely, but sometimes I feel like my heel will slide off toward the instep-side of the shoe. I really thought this wouldn't be a problem due to the great coverage on the vamp, but it does feel like I'm going to twist my ankle if I'm not careful. I guess I need a chunkier heel at my age. Oddly enough I feel completely stable in the Born Frederique which seems to have a higher heel and the slingback on it isn't really super supportive -- it does the job.

Really good looking shoe but very narrow - even in the 9 Wide width, so caution if you have a wide foot. Sadly need to return these.

Great look but very narrow - the wide doesn't fit my wide foot - tight in the toe area. Disappointed that I need to return them.
