Customer Reviews Born Reta

I love this shoe and am so sorry that I have to return it. The shoe is light and with the double straps is very secure on the foot. However, the bed of the shoe is formed with a ridge around the outer edge. The ball of my toe rubs on one shoe. I think the bed of shoe is a little narrow. If it did not have that ridge around the shoe, I would definitely keep this pair. I really wanted navy sandals.

As a teacher I am on my feet or walking all day long and these sandals are so comfortable and supportive that my feet don't hurt at the end of the day. I loved these sandals so much I bought them in two different colors. The sides do curve up but my feet are narrow enough that it doesn't bother me.

God these are great. I don't think I've taken them off since I've bought them. I've showered in them, worn them to the gym, worn them to bed....I've also lied about how much I've worn them, but they're really great shoes. If you're seeking a comfy walking sandal that doesn't flop about in the breeze, these are great. The ankle/foot straps can be a little fussy, but once you find your setting, just slide in. Ain't no one looking. It's all good.

I love these shoes. I bought a pair at another online site which said to order up a size if you were a half size. They were too big and they did not have the next size down when I returned them I was so happy to find them on Zappos. This shoe is incredibly comfortable and my friends all thought they were very stylish. They did not even need a bit of breaking in. I am going to purchase other colores, I like them so much. Worth every penny. I used to have shoes for every outfit but can no longer wear heels and I find it hard to find comfortable shoes that look cute. These are those shoes.

These sandals are comfortable, supportive, and stylish. I'm so pleased with this purchase and have been a big fan of the Born brand for years.

My mom bought these for me for my birthday. I have very narrow feet, narrow heels, and thinner ankles. A medium-width shoe rarely fits me. My mom read the reviews stating that this style runs narrow and took a chance. Well, it paid off! The Reta does run narrow and it fits my foot, heel, and ankles beautifully! I was very pleasantly surprised. I wear a 9 1/2 to a 10 narrow. My sandals are a 10 and the length is spot on. The sole of the shoes is comfortable as well. The way the sandal is constructed, you don't really feel the piece between your toes and the sandal feels very stable while walking. I also like that I can adjust the sandal if my ankles swell. I'm ordering another pair in black. I would've given the sandal 5 stars for comfort, but the arch support is moderate - comfortable, but moderate.

Love these shoes, although I did need to buy a size bigger than I usually wear. They are cute and have great reach support, not always an easy combination.

I was looking for a sandal with support that wouldn't rub on my bunion, this fits the bill and is super cute to boot!

Love them! Comfortable the very first day, even between my toes. The cork footbed is molding into shape very nicely. Good support for a sandal and well made. Also super cute, lots of compliments!

These cute sandals are great. They are very comfortable and I get so many compliments on them. They are definitely narrow. Since I have narrow feet it's ok, but they would not work for wider feet.

Love these sandals. I have a very narrow foot so the highly adjustable ankle straps are great! They are very comfortable. No pain between the toes. Thank you Born for realizing that not everyone with a double digit size has a wide foot!! I am size 10, I ordered a 10 and it fit perfectly. I own several pair of Born boots and sandals because of the quality, sizing and style. If you have a wide foot you may want to order a size up. Thank Zappos for allowing me to never, ever have to go to a mall! You are the best!

I really like this shoe, and wanted to keep it. But...the the heel area was loose-ish and the toe are was loose too. So, sadly no-keepie. The footbed was good, and felt comfy.

These are beautiful sandals with a comfortable footbed, but the toe post was painful! It is too thick, has a seam, and is rough between the toes. The leather is soft and the straps were actually comfortable, which does not always happen with my feet. The mango (orange) is a great color. The footbed is exactly what my problem feet were looking for and I am disappointed to have to return these.

Cons: As some other reviews mentioned, these shoes have a raised edge on the footbed, and I found that it rubbed the outer edge of my big toe uncomfortably. I also found that the upper toe strap was a little uncomfortable, and didn't do much at all to shop the shoe from wiggling as I lifted my feet to walk. Pro: Good footbed support, while still being cute. The orange ones are a great fun but mellow color.

Nice shoe. The cupped edges of the foot bed take from the width that I need. That made the shoe uncomfortable for me. Hate to send it back because I really like everything else.

Loved the sandal but I agree with the other reviews. The top portion is too narrow and my big toe rubs against the side. I am disappointed as I love the style but sadly I will have to return.

Cute sandals, but I found them to be more narrow than a standard B width. The cork may wear well as far as arch support, but what happened to the beautiful cushioning that Born is know for? Please don't tell me it is traded for style. I have been wearing Born brand sandals, shoes and boots for many many years and would hate to see that great comfortable insole disappear.

Just received these yesterday. Cute sandal, trendy, fun style and gold color. Usually wear a 6.5 - 7. Ordered these in 7, and the length is perfect. Not sure the width of the toe area will work for me. My feet are slim, the sandal is buckled on the smallest eyelets, and yet the toe width is narrow for my big toe, as another reviewer mentioned. The arch support is very good compared to most sandals...not quite as supportive as Birkenstocks. Additionally, the loops at the strap buckle are flimsy and may not hold up to repeated buckling and unbuckling of straps (also hassle factor!) However, the style is very cute, and the gold color will be versatile with spring into summer clothing. I am trying them out in the house to see if the issue with the toe width will require a return...hope not, as from a style perspective, these should be keepers!

Cute but not for me. I have trouble with the strap around the top of my heel with all shoes. These were not bad but not exactly right.

Felt true to size but toe area seemed very narrow for the big toe. Everything else was perfect except the big toe kept rubbing the curved edge of the sandal. Sadly going back.

Super cute but....it seemed small, even for Born. I felt much cuter than the Birkenstock version that is very popular but ultimately returned as I felt it was just a tad too short with the toe piece.

I was frustrated to see all the positive reviews on here. I ordered these shoes with the mindset that Borns are always super comfortable. Not the case for me and these shoes. I have a long narrow foot. Usually and 8 1/2. I occasionally will go for a 9 in a flat sandal just for length. Got these in a 9 and its a good thing I did. They are almost to small and my narrow foot fits just right. I don't see how anyone with a normal sized 9 foot could fit in these. Although the fit worked out thats where it stopped for me. The cork insole is incredibly uncomfortable. I'm a professional dancer so my feet take a beating and are pretty calloused up. I thought I could push through the blisters it creates on the bottom(??) of my heel but I've had it. The cork has rubbed my calloused turbo dancer feet raw for the last time. I wish I could return them but I ordered them from another store and I'm certain they won't take them back as I worn them too many times. Just wanted to give my fellow Zappos gals a heads up. These were NOT comfortable to me.

So cute, but too narrow at toes. My big toe hangs over the edge a bit. Enough to be annoying. Seems this a problem a lot of people had. Unless you have a very narrow foot, this shoe, as cute as it is, won't work. Really wish they came in half sizes.

I wanted to love these so much! I was trying to find a cute shoe to take to Europe for two months. I tried them for three days to break them in, I range from a normal to wide foot and they were a little tight and really cut into your feet. Also, the cork really picks up odor.. I never have had problems with feet odor, but for some reason these shoes add something to it.

I have a couple of Born sandals so I trust their brand for support and know my size, but like other reviews said, these are for narrow feet! I do not have wide feet or any wide shoes, but my feet seem to spill out of these around the arch, my pinky toes, and my (minor) bunions. The straps are good, and these shoes are great quality and very stylish! They do not look like comfort sandals which is what I have been hunting for. But why did they have to make them so narrow? I could probably tolerate them cutting into my foot and continue to wear them but I would rather not, especially for this price. Please fix the next time around, Born!
