Customer Reviews Born Alcala II - Crown Collection

Fairly stylish for such a comfortable shoe. Only things I didn't like about this shoe - feels a little loose & I'm not a fan of leather covered heels - only because I tend to mark them on the black chair I use at work.

I love these shoes! I only have one small complaint. The foot does slide down into the shoe, but only on the right! Not sure why and if that would have stopped me from buying them, but I may end up taking them to shoe repair if it continues to keep bothering me.

I had these shoes for two years, and they were great for an average office work day or a weekend day. I'm disappointed to say that the strap broke of the base of one sandal, and it was unrepairable. Given that I live in Seattle (and we have short summers), I expected these shoes to last a lot longer.

The color is very different than the photo. In the photo the shoe appears pinkish but in real life the color is lightly mottled gold, really pretty. Unfortunately, the straps are all too loose and my feet kept slipping forward. I always thought Born was a 'comfort' shoe manufacturer so I was expecting to feel the way I do with some of the other comfort shoes I own: Sofft, Clarks, etc. They are not that comfortable, maybe because of the way my feet kept slipping forward (toes almost hanging off the front!), the balls of my feet began to feel it. I loved the look, loved the heel height, but I have to send them back. I'm bummed.

Really liked the look and feel of this shoe, so I was so disappointed that the strap broke off the base of the shoe the first day that I wore the these.

These are fabulous! I can wear them for 12 hours and my feet don't hurt!

I needed a pair of shoes to wear to a wedding and looked a long time for these. They are beautiful shoes, and look great with everything but most important, are very comfortable. If there is a drawback, it would be that they are, for me, difficult to buckle, but well worth the effort.

I love this shoe, it is super comfortable and not too high to wear all day. Looks great with my summer skirts. I didn't have to break them in at all.

Oh my heavens! I just received these today, put them on, and have been walking around the house for the past hour looking ridiculous in my sweats and these gorgeous sandals because they are that comfortable! I have medium-width feet with somewhat flat arches, and these fit me perfectly. (They'll be fine for people with higher arches too.) The strap across the toe is amazingly comfortable for something so narrow, and doesn't squish my toes or pinch anything. I got them in the Pinenuts Metallic, which is actually almost like a rose gold color - close to the color on this web site but almost just a shade pinkier - very pretty but still neutral so they'll match practically anything. I wanted something to wear to a wedding, and I bet I'll be able to dance the night away with these! My new favorite dressy summer sandals! Thanks, Born, and Zappos, of course, for your fast service.

I absolutely love this shoes. They are so comfortable. For me, it's all about the comfort from the beginning. I will probably order another pair in a different color. I wear a size 10 and it was just right.

Pretty, comfortable, and fit my foot. I am just shy of a size 9, with a narrow foot. I usually wear 9 medium because that is what is available and hope for the best. This shoe is not as dressy as the Born Dorian, but fit me better.

I love these shoes! I have them in two colors. They are the most comfortable, stylish sandal that fits well enough to walk for hours. I have a very narrow heel but tightening the strap keeps them on my feet. The foot-bed is nicely padded.

This shoe is very attractive on (looks cuter on than in the pictures). Heel isn't too high, and the footbed feels very comfortable. Looking forward to wearing these with my new dress. I normally wear a 7.5, so I ordered the 7. I also tried on the 8, but it was way too loose, although I liked the length of the 8 better.

I adore these shoes! The first day I wore them, I walked all day with no blisters and no rubbing. They\'re so comfortable and look perfect with my summer dresses. I normally wear a 7.5 and was unsure if the 7 would work for me, but it does. I also tend to be a little wide through the ball of the foot and many sandals pinch, but these didn\'t pinch at all. I\'m thinking of ordering a second pair in a different color!

I purchased these shoes for my youngest son's girlfriend. She wanted a heeled comfort sandal. These fit perfectly; both in size (9) and need. She looks great in them, too! Would definitely recommend!

I am very happy with these sandals, very comfortable, look pretty with summer dresses.

This is my second pair, I love them. They make your feet look great. They appear to be a "high heel" but aren't really. The first pair I bought was under the design name "Bolo" a few years ago, but they appear to be the same shoe. I can walk for hours in this shoe comfortably. I think they are timeless and well worth the money.

I love these shoes. They are so incredibly comfortable. After wearing them many times they have never rubbed me funny or cut into my foot in any places whatsoever, and that's not something I can say about 99% of my shoe collection. The leather is very soft and flexible and the ankle straps don't feel binding or annoying. I think I might have to buy a pair in another color. Lots of cushion to walk in.

Wore these right out of the box and have been comfortable ever since. Nice to wear to work but can also be worn with jeans. My foot is narrow and these are fine. My favorite summer work sandal!

I have wide feet which often makes finding cute shoes (especially heels) nearly impossible to find. Born is one brand that makes comfortable, stylish shoes. I got these in black, wore them out salsa dancing and was so impressed by the comfort I ordered brown as well. They are so comfortable, I just love them. Perfect to pair with summer dresses. Buy them!

Great shoe! Comfortable but very cute. I have them in gold and black and love to wear them because they can look a little dressy or casual. Also, the straps do not cut into my feet like some others and heels not too high or too low. these are my new go-to shoes for the summer. Just love Zappos for their incredible fast service!

Love these shoes. They are true to size, very comfortable and extremely cute. They can dress any outfit up. They look good with everything!

Comfy shoe, sizing accurate and I like the pattern because it's neutral without being boring. They look cute with jeans and skirts/dresses alike.

I needed a neutral sandal to go with a variety of spring and summer dresses, from casual to dressier. After looking everywhere, I couldn't seem to find the perfect pair. I ordered these sandals in the gold, as well as a couple other pairs from another site hoping, that one pair would be at least acceptable. This sandal was the perfect pair. I was pleasantly surprised with everything from looks to comfort. They are very cute on the foot. They will be terrific with everything except for very formal attire, and they fit well. I wore them all day on their first wearing - no blisters or tired feet. The sizing seemed just about right for me. My feet are medium width with a narrow heel (since this one adjusts, it was perfect). The gold color was not glitzy at all, more of a slightly metallic soft tan, which is almost a neutral color and goes with just about everything. Zappos does a great job delivering the shoes to your door, no shipping, no hassles, terrific selection!
