Really cute sandals, but sadly they are going back. If you have narrow feet you will have a hard time snugging the straps up securely enough. Although I was able to tighten the side straps with the buckle, the middle straps remain loose and my foot feels like it's sloshing around. Otherwise, I think these would be comfortable and cute shoes...

I have at least two pairs of Born sandals. I ordered these in my usual size (7). They fit perfectly and were comfortable right out of the box, except that the heel strap was way too short and I could not fasten it. I liked them so much I tried going up a size. I still had trouble with the heel strap, and although I was able to get it fastened there was an inch or more of the sole that stuck out pin the back and looked ridiculous.

Beautiful shows but sadly had to return because they were too small. I have slender feet and these seemed too narrow

I own other Born sandals and love them! I bought the Mia sandal for this summer and wore them for a long day of walking on a warm day in Savannah. They were very comfortable at first, but the pattern on the insole was very irritating. I couldn't wait to take them off. For short wear, they are fine. If you plan to do a long day of sightseeing, the floral design on the insole may cause irritation as it imprints on the bottom of your foot!

I really wish the straps were more adjustable or were tighter overall. When I tried them on, I had to put them on the tightest setting already and I know they'll stretch out over time.
I don't think they would do a very good job at holding my foot in place, and that lack of security and stability is what lead me to return them.
It's a total shame, because they seem comfy (as far as the footbed goes) and are really cute!

I really wanted to like these but had to return them. The strap that goes over to the side of my foot just felt like it was going to be a problem. The footbed is really soft though and if it wasn't for where the straps fell, I would have loved to have kept them!

The straps do not appear to be high quality/durability.

super cute, great color but I have pretty skinny feet and they floated around and sort of fell out the front of the shoe when I walked.

Very stylish shoe, but too narrow for my medium-width feet.

Super cute and comfy but my foot kept sliding forward. Not sure why, which left my toes hanging over the front...weird. If you have short toes, it would not happen I don't think. My toes are long, but I have not had this problem before. Sort of felt like they were "loose" overall on my foot and it is rather not overly thin. If you have slender feet, this is probably not for you!

Super cute but my feet were squeezed by the straps. They are leather and most likely would have stretched out, but they weren't exactly what I was looking for.

Although have a tremendous amount of cushion the imprint on the sole makes it very uncomfortable to walk in these shoes for long distances.

For the price these feel incredibly cheap. They were quite comfortable but I just could not justify the cost.

These are every wide shoes. They are much too wide for me. They should work great for anyone with wide feet. The footbed was cushy, but it felt like my feet would roll off the edges. Not like Naots that hug the feet.

Really cute sandals, nice padding in the footbed, but they were way too loose and couldn't be adjusted any tighter. I think a smaller size would be too short. So I won't keep them.

These sandals hurt. The soles look like they should be cushy and comfy but they are rock hard. I wore them to Disneyland and it felt similar to wearing the cheap fashion sandals that cost $20 except these also gave me blisters on the bottoms of my feet. For the price, these are thoroughly disappointing. I mean really, I don't spend this money on a comfort shoe for it to hurt like a cheap shoe.

This is my second summer wearing these, and although I have narrow feet, they have loosened up a lot, such that they slide around with every step I take. They were comfy for a while but now they drive me nuts. If I didn't do a lot of walking they would be tolerable.

I got these in silver and the color is a little weird. I think the natural leather color would work better. Ultimately, my feet felt like they were sliding all over the place, so they just didn't seem comfortable enough for a lot of walk. The insoles were nice and squishy though - so if they fit your foot right, I think they could be comfortable.

First of all, the color is NOT silver. I knew it looked gold online, but trusted the color description. It has silver flecks UNDER all the gold. For all intents and purposes, these sandals are GOLD. Second, a reviewer commented that the straps going over the top of the foot were loose. They certainly are. For a sandal that fit otherwise (length and width), the foot just flops around in them because the straps over the top of the foot are completely loose with no way to tighten. Very disappointed in Born with this one!

Cute sandals but they are really wide. I don't have a narrow foot (just medium) but these can't tighten very much so my foot moves around too much.

I have tried on Born sandals previously and, disliking the feel of the heavily embossed insole, never purchased a pair. This cute style came in a color that I was looking for, so I decided to revisit the brand. My first impression stands. I find the insole uncomfortable and provides little support, and, as another reviewer notes, the straps are flimsy and loose, allowing the foot to move around too much.

These are cute shoes, but the fit was not right. I usually wear size 8.5 in a regular shoe, and 8 in sandals. I bought this one in an 8 and it is too small. The width is a tad wide, but would do if the length was okay. Debating on if I should try a size 9, but probably won't since the likelihood is that it will then be way too wide.

I found these at a store and they are adorable. They are definitely worth the price. I will disagree, however, with the reviewer who was relieved that they were not like those "lining the halls of assisted living" places. She did not know my Mom who had Farragamos outside her door! Be careful, missy, about labeling people and most of all making judgements about age and style.

I have had these less than a year and because I live in the Midwest, they have not gotten much wear. The elastic on the straps that go around the back of the foot are really stretched, so they shoes kind of slip around now when I wear them. It's a shame, because when the elastic was still in good condition, these shoes were super comfortable and my favorite sandals.

Disappointed in the fit and design of the straps. I wear a solid B-Medium, but even with the straps buckled on the tightest possible holes, these are too wide for me. One sandal is actually floppier than the other when they are buckled the same way, also, which is annoying.
