Customer Reviews Born Ithica

I really like these shoes, the sizing is awful. I usually wear an 8 1/2 wide. I ended up ordering an 8, 8 1/2, and a 9. The 9 was the winner. Very comfortable, the leather is nice and soft.

Super cute summer shoe when you don't want your heels to show (you know what I mean!). My regular shoe size is 7-1/2. I first ordered a 7 and it was way too tight. So I exchanged it (super easy process) for an 8 and it fits perfect. I'm hoping that it doesn't rub a blister anywhere, but just trying it on, they feel fine. I got the Teal color and it's a very pretty blue-green.

Really disappointed with the arch support. Older pairs of Born sandals that I own have terrific support, but these do not.

I ordered these in my normal size 10 but they were way too small, both tight in the width and not long enough. I took a chance and reordered in an 11 and they actually fit perfectly. I’ve never worn an 11 in anything by so I feel like the sizing is definitely a little off. They are beautiful shoes and really comfortable out of the box (if you have the right size ;-)

Love these Sandels! They're consistent with BORN comfortable and look great with shorts, jeans or dresses. I bought two; one pair in gold and one in black. They're a tad snug at first, but they're leather so they loosen up quickly for a perfect custom fit.

These shoes were so pretty and stylish...and I loved the color...but Zappos didn't have my size so my feet are wide so I ordered a size bigger...The shoes were too long ...I'm sad

Loved the teal color and style, but way too large.

They were too long for my narrow foot.

I loved this shoe but sadly had to return. It felt a bit narrower than usual so since it does not come in wide I wanted the 9 1/2 which they did not carry. I would order them in a minute if they did. They were comfy and as I am on my feet all day I would have loved if they worked out. I love Born products and always think they are a great value.

I ordered size 7, which is my usual size, and these fit perfectly. They slip on and off easily and yet the heel doesn’t slip when walking. The covered heel is so nice in the summer since other sandals can leave one’s heels looking rough. (Right?) I bought the black & the red sandals & really like the soft look to the leather. Both look great with dresses, capris or shorts. I also ordered, & returned, the cream color. I thought the pale color made the sandals look dated. As always, I really appreciate Zappo’s ordering, shipping and return policies.

Perfect fit - I wear a size 7, these were size 7. I haven’t worn them beyond trying on, but they feel very comfortable.

I love these sandals, they were comfortable from day 1! Beautiful teal blue color.

The 7 is a little tight until broken in! The 8 is always too large. I wish they made born shoes in half sizes!

I am 58, I ordered these as my first Born shoe. I also ordered a Sofft sandal. Both are fantastic. These are much more comfortable than I expected. I thought they might be a little weird since the look like a shoe and sandal but they are very cute. I recommend and will be buying more from Born. I am at a place in life where I am only interested in comfort.

Fit very well. Comfortable as Borns always are. the best Sandals! Love them!

I bought a size 9, 8 1/2 and 8. I usually wear a 8 1/2. The black 8 1/2 was okay but pinched my little toe a lot. The 8 was okay but I felt they were narrow. The 9 when putting them on I thought the heal was slipping but after wearing them it wasn’t and the most comfortable of the 3 sizes.

Felt comfortable right away

I love these sandals, but I had to return them. When I was contemplating the order and I had a size 7 and a size 8 in my cart, a message popped up that the 8 would fit me better. (I don’t remember the exact wording.) If sandals only come in whole sizes as this one does, I usually wear the smaller. On the advice of Zappos, I ordered the 8. Nope. Too long. Too wide across the arch of my foot. Maybe I’ll order the 7’s. I do love Zappos and the ease of ordering, the timeliness of receiving orders, the ease of returns.

The fit is a little on the narrow side for my wide foot, but I am keeping them.

These sandals are true to size and so comfortable. Love that my pretty pedicure shows, but the heel is covered. Such a classy look. Can't miss with Born!

Just didn't like the look of the sandal on my foot.

I usually wear a 39 or an eight and 1/2. These were just a little small and I had to return them. Great style tho

I ordered 7 after returning an 8 which were too long. The 7’s are too short. Cute style. Great color. Please make half sizes! The 7’s are going back, too.

Did not care for the mottles tone of the gold color.

The fit, size and look of these shoes are all terrific. I love the teal color. The only reason I'm not giving them 5 stars overall is because it would have been nice to have a back zipper. Getting them on would be easier if they had one.
