Very comfy! Leather is so soft. My feet hurt in just about anything but I can wear these all day and have no pain or discomfort whatsoever. Love them!

I bought these as a dressier than flip flops option for my casual workplace. They have fit the bill perfectly! Comfortable enough for all-day wear, they go with everything and look smart with skirts, crop pants, or chinos. Love!

Perfect! I spent a long time looking at sandals, and am glad I found this one. This is the third Born shoe I have purchased and they never disappoint. I receive compliments every time I wear this cute and versatile sandal. The leather straps are soft and comfortable right out of the box. I presume they may naturally loosen a bit over time as leather does, so there are extra holes on the ankle strap to enable adjusting the buckle (looser or tighter). I purchased the metallic taupe color, which is beautiful and neutral enough that I have worn it with with black, navy, grey, and bright periwinkle blue slacks. The pretty leaf design on the lightly cushioned footbed provides barely-noticeable texture that I like. I love the non-slip sole (I won't buy a shoe that has a slippery one), and the tiny bit of rise that the little 3/8" molded heel provides takes it up a notch from a completely flat sandal. I'm 100% pleased with this purchase, and of course Zappos is the best!

These are cute...and almost just right. They are pretty comfortable but I slight a bit sideways, and the embossed print on the sole, although pretty...is a bit awkward...not making it super comfy. I exchanged for a pair of Chaco Mai's which are insanely comfy with a high arch that fits my high arched feet perfectly.

I am terribly picky, but this shoe is about to as close to perfect as I could find. The size was just right for me (a pretty solid size 6M). I have a slightly wider than average foot, so I tend to be wary of these types of straps. But again, the fit is great. It's proven to be a high quality, comfortable, super cute, versatile, better-for-your-feet sandal. I was looking for something that I could walk in, but didn't look like an orthopedic shoe. But something you could also dress up. My search was finally over. Hooray!

I was looking for a cute saddle with arch support and read all of the reviews and I agree 100%! These are the most comfortable, cute sandals I have ever worn. They're aren't at the top of my cute sandal list, but they never hurt, just slide them on and go. I have never owned Born shoes before, but I immediately a fan! I want this shoe in all the colors! I definitely recommend this sandal to anyone. I am usually an 8.5 and got a 9 and they fit perfect.

Oh, I love these sandals. Bought them in both black and gold. Not wild about the color of the gold, but adore the black. Great fit. Comfortable. Foot bed is leather (or fake leather). No rubbing or rough spots. Really, no complaints!

These shoes are very comfy and good looking. I recently wore them on a trip and they felt great. I usually order a 9.5, but I got a size 9 in these. They do stretch a little bit.

These shoes are AMAZING! I got them in the gold color and they are just the right amount of metallic - not too shiny. The leather is very soft, too, so it doesn't rub against my skin or cause any blisters. I intend to wear these on a daily basis because they'll go with everything! In fact, I recently took a trip to Mexico and these were the only shoes I packed. I highly recommend these shoes to anyone who wants a well-made, go-with-anything sandal for summer.

I love the Mai sandal. In fact, I have three pairs: black, white, and "Cuoio," which is much more of a tan than brown, making it a good neutral that can go with anything. The delicate straps on this sandal are very flattering and work equally well with jeans, skirts or sundresses. The sandal has a very low profile, but the padding is great, and you can walk comfortably around the city for miles. Sizing is consistent with other Born sandals. This one is a winner.

These are very beautiful sandals, but the gorgeous floral designs on the outsole and insole are not visible when the shoe is in use, and they detract from the comfort and wearability. The deeply embossed design on the insole would quickly leave me footsore. Also, a cupped footbed would have helped hold the foot in place. the Mai's convex footbed caused my foot to roll from side to side. The toe strap was too tight against one f my toes the same one that, as luck would have it, was also rubbed by a misaligned seam on the thong between the toes. I am very disappointed, as the Mais are beautiful shoes. But its utility is no match for its looks. I need sandals that will bed comfortable for hours of walking on cobblestone streets.

Like most Born shoes they are very comfy. The do run just a little large but adjustable with the straps. I know I'll be living in these most of the summer.

I am a big fan of Born because their shoes are stylish and comfortable. I got these sandals in black and love them. They look cute with shorts, and casual skirts and dresses. For other brands of shoe, I usually wear a 9.5, but I ordered a 9.0 in this sandal (no half sizes available) and they are perfect.

These sandals are AWESOME! They are so comfortable and cushy they can be worn for walking. They are also pretty. The gold is matte which I prefer. You can wear them with everything. I will buy in more colors.

These are super cute and comfortable. A lot of Born sandals are to tight and narrow but these were just right, good if you have a wider foot. Also the sole has a little cushion which makes them so much more comfortable than completely flat sandals.

Excellent shoes! These are so comfortable and so cute! I get compliments on them every time I wear them. They were more money than I originally intended on spending, but totally worth the extra dollars. Love these sandals.

I love wearing Born shoes and these are no exception. I have 3 in this style and have ordered another of the white (useful) and the black making a total of 5! They are stylish, well made and above all comfortable. At this price they are exceptional value.

I was looking for cute, stylish sandals that I could walk all over NYC and Chicago with this summer...and boy did I find them! These sandals are so comfortable, as all Born shoes are, and super-cute, as well! I'm very happy with my purchase and have walked over 20 miles in these two cities wearing these shoes, with no rubs, callouses, or strap marks on my feet whatsoever! Thank you Born and Zappos!

Delightfully comfortable, delicate sandal! It's feminine without sacrificing comfort. Feels as good as a Born should feel (ahhhh). It's not particularly supportive but the footbed is wonderfully soft. I've walked some miles in these, looking a bit dressy while I did it!

I just received these sandles, and was so pleased with them, I immediately ordered 2 additional pair in two different colors. Can't wait to use them on an upcoming trip to Italy. They are exactly what I have been looking for. They are the most comfortable and stylish sandles I have ever had.

Purchased these sandals for a 2 week tour of Europe. The trip was an active walking trip, miles each day through cobblestone streets, museums, parks, churches, up and down stairs. I was thrilled that these sandals were comfortable, had arch support, and looked good. I packed other shoes but this pair was my go-to choice.

I have been looking for these shoes for two years. I love them and have been wearing them all summer. This is a new model of a shoe offered in previous years, and thank goodness it's back! There is some padding in the shoe, but no built up arch. I can walk in them all day without a problem -- but I don't have any problems with my feet. They are real leather, and seem to be standing up well to the abuse I put them through (wet weather, regular wet/dry cycles, lots of wear, etc.). I've noticed a bit of stretch after an especially soggy trip to visit the kids at camp, but they still fit.

A bit more than I would normally pay for sandals but they are well worth the price! They are very comfortable and so much cuter than plain flip flops. They look cute with just about anything! As always shipping was extremely fast. I ordered these just after 4pm and they were at my door by 2pm the following day!

These are seriously comfortable shoes. I toured Singapore with these and they were both cute and comfortable. Plenty of cushion and even a little arch support.

LOVE!!! These sandals are so comfortable, and adorable. I want them in every color. They are more of a coral color but I actually prefer that.
