Very comfortable even on a long walk, they have a soft padding for the insole. True to fit and the color goes with almost everything. I have received many compliments already.

Very nice soft leather. The soles are extremely comfortable. Those sandals look good with a dress for work.

I finally found what I was looking for in a black 'strappy' sandal. Very comfortable right away - no breaking-in needed. Perfect for dresses/skirts, or for casual with shorts. Good fit. If Born made 1/2 sizes I would have gotten the 1/2 size larger, but the full size actually worked great. Very happy with these sandals.

I normally wear size 9½. Since this style does not come in half sizes, I ordered the size 10 which was much too big. I returned them for the size 9 and they fit fine. The footbed has cushioning which makes them more comfortable than normal flat sandals. The straps did not rub and felt comfortable the first time that I wore them. I wore them a few times, then took them on my two week trip to Australia where I walked for miles each day. They were very comfortable. I will be buying more from this brand.

Oh. My. God. Comfy! Soft! These are just what I was looking for. I'm 53 and am just beginning to get a bunion and REFUSE! I'm convinced it developed not from heels (which I've worn for centuries), but from excessive wearing of flip flops, causing my big toe to squeeze to keep the flip flop on. The toe strap gives plenty of support to keep my toes from gripping, allowing them to move naturally with ease and the straps are not too hard or inflexible at all. The ankle strap keeps it all in place without straining my foot movement. I don't think it's excessively wide, but it's probably good for a wide foot. PLUS, they're really cute. Yes, the "red" is more salmony, but the color in the photo is true to the actual color of the sandal. Definitely getting another pair (or two).

LOVE these! I'm usually not thrilled about the between-the-toe part of sandals like these, and usually end up sending them back. I liked the look of these so much I gave it another try and have to say these are SO comfortable! The best I ever had. Same as other reviews: comfortable right away, love the style, love the color (I got the blue ones), want to have them in another color. People ask me all the time where I got them. Wish they had them in green or grey. Anyway, highly recommend!!

Love these sandals! At first I thought they might be too snug on the top of my foot (no one wants bulgy-foot in sandals) but the ankle strap is very adjustable. These sandals are perfect! Super comfortable, very delicate looking, and I feel like I will probably wear them all summer long. I'm tempted to buy another color because I like them so much.

After a false start, I love these shoes. The first pair I ordered had a strap break from just walking around the first day I wore them. I was nervous about requesting a second pair, but they are super cute and comfy and Zappos customer service is so good I decided to take a chance. They are exactly what I wanted for walking around in the summer, and are cute enough to wear with a sundress or cutoffs.

I spent hours searching for a pair of sandals that is comfortable and somewhat stylish that I can travel with. This pair is it! When I opened the shoe box, I can smell genuine leather. The sandals are well constructed. They feel secured on my feet and soft to walk on. I took them to Vegas and walked for hours without any issues. They are comfortable and yet they will pair well with a skirt or dress. I think these are the perfect shoes to travel in style! They are compact and light weight and will not take up much luggage space. Of course, they are good for everyday wear as well.

Shoes are comfortable and cute. They have decent arch support for a sandal and are way more cushioned than the majority of flat sandals I find. I have pretty narrow feet and they fit well buckled on the last hole. The color is accurate to the picture...more of a dark pink or faded red. I am very satisfied...just wish they weren't so pricey or I'd buy more!

I've been a fan of Born sandals the past few years. This purchase makes my 3rd Born sandal in a basic black to round out my collection. The best feature is the cushy foot bed which wins out compared to other stylish yet hard leather foot bed sandals.

Such a squishy sole! Well made sandal. Beautiful leather. The buckle and keeper are small, so they are not the fastest sandal to get off and on, but that's not a huge deal.

These are so cute and quite comfortable as well. I had been looking for some flat sandals with the perfectly placed straps and I found them in these. From day one they fit great and had no break in period. Love them!

Love this sandal! Comfortable and very cute. I wore them a few hours on the first day and they fit well. The straps do not bother at all! Perfect for summer days.

Very cute shoe and very comfortable shoe. Alas, I had to return them. That strappy look I love so well, doesn't always love me back. The outer strap just barely covers the little toe and occasionally does not cover the toe. It's not a great look to have that little toe hanging out the side. Also, something about the straps and the uber flat style is very unflattering for me. I wear size 9.5 so it's probably great for those with smaller feet but does not flatter me.

A cute little sandal and have been looking for this type of sandal but the straps didn’t hit my little toes well. I love Born shoes and their support so I’ll continue my search and return this pair.

For me, there seemed to be a bump on the sole underneath the ball of my foot. It was really uncomfortable! The shoes were so adorable, I really liked the style.

Too small and the next size up in the same color isn't available. The heel strap was way too short.

I liked these a lot. They didn't look huge on my size 11 feet which was very nice. I'm not a huge fan of the small heel. I slipped off of the heel several times when walking around the house. I couldn't get the straps tight enough on my feet to avoid this. I do have more narrow and flatter feet so that may be the cause of that. Pretty comfortable though.

The fit is good. I bought the black a few years ago and the straps that go around the foot to the sides were stretchy and made getting them on and off very easy. You could stretch it around your heel. I just bought a brown and black pair. Those same straps are not stretchy anymore so it is a little more difficult to pull around your heel. But even with the difference I still love the shoes. Very comfortable and light weight. I would definitely buy them again.

Overall these go well with any casual outfit. I do feel self conscious that when I sweat in these shoes, it leaves a mark on the bottom of the shoe. I feel that I would not be able to get these wet and that limits when/where I would use them. They feel kind of wide at the ball of the foot, which allows my toes to splay. Comfortable but maybe not attractive. They do have a very nice cushioned sole.

Very comfy for standard daily use, would like a little more support for the level of walking you do on a vacation. Using them on my trip to Spain and they hold up for the day but my feet do still end up sore at the end of the day. Pretty solid for sandals though and these will be great around town back home. Easy to slip on and off too.
