Love this shoe. I bought it in 3 different colors since it is so comfortable!

I have wide feet and I was hoping that this shoe would run a little wide. Unfortunately, it did not. Also, the length of the shoe seemed a little short for my foot. However, I loved the style of shoe.

These sandals have been fantastic. I bought them for a trip to Brazil and wore them almost the whole time. They are very comfortable and have more support and padding than most other sandals. I got the gold color and they go with casual clothes, but also look good with dresses. After a summer of hard wear, the straps have stretched a bit. I'm thinking of buying the same pair again!

I normally do not write reviews but these have been so worth the money that I am considering buying another pair in black and a backup pair in tan. I bought these right before going on a two week trip to Spain. I knew that we were going to be doing a lot of walking around but I still wanted to get to wear cute sandals. Like another reviewer mentioned, there is not a lot of option if you want a cushioned / substantial sole and style. These fit that perfectly. I wore them almost every day for two weeks, walking several miles a day, and never once felt the need to complain (side note: my husband loves these shoes too for exactly that reason.) One reviewer mentioned sloshing around in them - for reference I am a 6½, in 99.99 percent of cases I am a 6½ and if half sizes are not offered I typically cannot make it work. But I got these in a 6 and 7 just to see. The 6 was perfect. So I think they just run half a size larger than normal.

I bought these shoes for Hawaii and it was a great experience. They handled walking in the sand, the lava rock and the shopping well. My favorite part is that they went with almost anything (dresses, skirts, shorts) and never stuck to my feet when walking - even when I was sweaty.

I have two pairs of these, one in black and one in bronze. I have had the bronze for over a year and just purchased the black. These are excellent fitting and super comfortable.

I wear a 6.5 W, so I ordered a 7 in these and they fit well. They are much cuter than they appear. I got the gold metallic color and they are feminine and dainty and really cute. They are also incredibly comfortable!

Just got my sandals yesterday, very attractive. The flex easily and have a decent amount of cushioning for a comfortable walk. Haven't worn them yet so cannot speak to durability and comfort level.

I am so grateful for the other review on this product... it looks nice on the foot, not like an 'ortho' sandal... and the fit is true to size. I have bunions on both feet and this sandal completely hides them with the criss cross effect at the toe. I would buy it in more colors if it was available in my size.

I got these in my normal size, 8, in white. I love them. I was looking for more than a flip flop could give me. These do the trick. I have worn them all summer, walking around all day. The straps loosened up a little over time, which I didn't mind because then I was able to slip them off and on without having to undo them and it didn't change their ability to do what I needed them to do. Born always comes through for me!

Love them. So cute and comfortable. I'm usually a 9 1/2, but no half sizes available, so I tried both. 10 was a better fit. Little loose in the heel strap, but I just punched a new hole. They're still a tiny bit loose, but I like that I don't have to unbuckle them to put on/off.

I really like these. Comfy, cute, good quality. I agree with the other reviews that the back strap is too long. But it only cost me $3 to have the shoe shop add two more holes, and now they're perfect. Well worth it. I'll be buying another color (or two).

I have the silver and gold sandals. Extremely comfortable and very flattering. The metallic colors can go with any outfit. I am normally a 7 or 7 1/2. The size 6 fit me.

These were so comfortable and still cute! I have large bunions and these still fit great even though they don't come in a wide width. The leather is extremely soft.

This is a great sandal! All leather and as with all Born shoes, great quality! They are easy to slip on and off once you get the strap adjusted as the straps can slide forward a bit to make it easier getting on and off. Love than you can dress up and down!

This sandal is a great addition to my shoe closet. It was comfortable right out of the box on my wider than average feet. The straps adjust well to my feet and allowed me to wear them comfortably all day the first time I put them on. The narrow straps were comfy - not cutting. Cute shoe!

Love these, but hate that they don't have half sizes. I'm an 8 1/2, but can usually get away with the smaller size if needed in an open toe shoe. Not this one. I ordered the 8 and it rubbed slightly on my big toe and pinky toe, being a bit too narrow. Unfortunately the 9 is not currently available, because just slightly bigger and there would be perfect. I wanted them for walking around all day and wasn't going to risk the rubbing of the smaller size. The cushioning was soft on the bottom and the straps are soft. The topo color is a nice dark bronze, which is what I wanted.

I ordered a total of 5 pairs of these, but sent three back. The pink is pink. The red is also pink. I was hoping for red and might have settled for salmon, but it is pink. I ended up keeping sea foam and dark brown. I love them.

I absolutely love these sandals! I bought one pair a month ago and ended up buying this second pair because of how versatile and comfortable they are. they offer much more support than other strappy sandals and are so cute! they are still not ideal for standing on your feet all day. you would need much more cushioning for that. but as far as this type of sandal goes, it's pretty good. the straps do not rub anywhere. i am usually a size 7.5 with somewhat wide feet, and a 7 fits perfectly.

These are cute and comfortable. I have had such a hard time finding a dark brown sandal, and the fact that they're metallic adds a little more interest to their look. Also, o many sandals are completely flat which I find hard to walk in, but these have a slight heel and are comfort shoes disguised as stylish.

I am very happy with this shoe. It's comfortable and stylish. I'm usually an 8.5 and I ordered an 8. Fits great. The metallic color goes with everything.

I have been looking for good everyday sandals for quite awhile, and think I have found them. I am often either an 8½ or 9, but own size 8 Born boots, so I really debated whether to get an 8 or 9. I am very glad that I went with the 9. The sole is the exact length of my foot, but the straps are not too loose. These were extremely comfortable out of the box, and though there is not arch support, there is a lot of padding on the insole. All in all, these are great sandals.

I bought these primarily for the triangle shape of the top straps, which are more flattering on me than straight-across ankle straps. I love the design and how they look on my feet and I'm happy to have a simple sandal that fits well and can hold up to lots of walking.
Have only worn once but am loving these so far. The fit is perfect straight out of the box; I normally wear 10 in close-toed shoes and 9.5 in sandals, but I have had issues with Borns running small in the past. These are just wide enough to accommodate my borderline-wide feet and the straps are snug without pinching. I am on the shortest setting for the adjustable back strap, but if it stretches I can simply make a new hole.
Footbed is lightly cushioned and comfy, the stitching is a little rough for sensitive feet but will probably soften with use. The sole is grippy and in general the shoe just feels surprisingly stable for such a strappy design. I expect a minor break-in period for the thong part & side straps but had no blisters or irritation after the first day.

These sandals are really cute and comfortable. I bought them in brown and pink. I sent the brown ones back because they were a little too blah. But I really like the pink. I normally have a hard time with flats because they don't have any support, but I wore these running errands strait out of the box and They were really comfortable. I look forward to wearing them all summer.
