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.

These sandals are cute and comfortable. They're true to size and seem to be of good quality, just as I've come to expect from Born.

These are cute and extremely comfortable. I love that the sole is black as well (sometimes it looks bad when a sandal has a black upper and a tan sole).

These are VERY cute sandals! I always wear a size 9 in any shoe, but I had to exchange the Born Mai size 9 or a size 8 and they fit beautifully! I wish they had a velcro strap instead of the buckle closure, but still they are cute and fit like a glove. I got them in pink and taupe I like them that much!

Love these sandals. I was looking for something that could go with shorts or skirts, casual, or slightly dressier. It was not love at first sight, but they have grown on me and I wear them almost every day! They go with everything. They aren't as comfortable as tennis shoes for multi-mile walking, but they certainly beat all flip flops and cheaper sandals. I usually wear 8-1/2, got the 8s and there is plenty of room.

Very cute sandal! The sea green is slightly more blue than I expected, but I'm keeping them, because it's close enough to what I expected. They don't slide around on my feet. I'll be wearing them all summer! I usually wear a 7.5 but size up to the 8 in Borns.

I've been a faithful wearer of Rainbow sandals but decided to try for something a little dressier. These sandals are very comfortable and versatile. The straps feel great and keep everything in place. If your feet get a little sweaty, they might make a sticky noise as you walk. Regardless, I've had my pair for a couple months and they've become my go-to shoes. Highly recommend and would buy again in another color!

This is a great basic summer staple in my sandal collection. Pretty much goes with anything. Comfortable. I would call this a casual shoe, but in a pinch can be a bit dressier.

I love how these shoes felt it of the box but unfortunately they are very wide. Yes, I wear size 11 but why do big sizes have to be so wide? They are slip and sliding on me. Wish they had shorter straps.

Am glad I got these shoes. Very comfortable and causal cute. Got them before a big trip and walked all around cobblestoned streets with them with no pain.

I bought these because my favorite 3-point sandals from Keen are no longer made. They are comfortable and light weight. I probably need to punch another hole in the back strap adjust, though, because it is a bit too loose even on the shortest setting.

I purchased these sandals approximately 4 years ago at Dillards. I wore them out! I love the style and comfort. As one reviewer said, the straps do not cut into my feet, the bed is very soft and cushy. I'm looking forward to the new pairs (learned my lesson and ordered 2) to arrive.

I put these on the moment they arrived and have worn them almost exclusively since. I am a Type I diabetic and my shoes or sandals absolutely must fit and be comfortable. Born throws in great style, too! I highly recommend these!

These are super cute, comfortable, and have much more support than most other sandals. Definitely worth the extra $$ so far, and they're my new "everyday" shoe for summer!

Really cute and comfortable shoe. Nice padded sole makes for easy walking. Wish it came in half sizes, the 8 was snug and the 9 a bit loose but I kept the 9 and still love the shoes. I've gotten many compliments.

Loved the sandal but had to order another pair for two reasons (size and color). The red is more of a dark salmon color (not orange but more orangey than a red). I ordered the Mereia color in the same shoe, which they call a pink. I found it to be more of a light red. Love them!

I already had this shoe in black. I looked several places for a white sandal and couldn't find one. Finally, while vacationing in FL, I ordered this same shoe in white. It came overnight and I wore it that evening. Didn't need to break-in. Comfortable from the first time worn.

Cute and Comfortable!! I wanted a sandal that I can wear with casual sundresses - something a step up from my usual flip flops - and these sandals fit the bill! They are comfortable right out of the box. Born is one of the very few shoe brands that I can wear. I have flat feet which means that I cannot tolerate arch support in a shoe and my foot is slightly wider than average (but not officially a wide size). If you have hard-to-fit feet, give these a try!

This shoe runs wide. I couldn't adjust the strap any tighter. Nice looking shoe; wish I could have kept it!

I love these shoes. Have not taken them off since I received them today. Very 'in' with the strappy romanesque look that is so popular now. I love they don't flop when you walk. I love Vionic tide for summer but sometimes you need a bit dressier look in a sandal and don't want to hear the flip flopping. I am very pleased. Wish they were a bit cheaper as I would order one in EVERY color.
