Customer Reviews Born Du Jour

These shoes are really cute! But they definitely run small-ish. The toe of the shoe is tapered to a narrow point, so it's a bit weird. Any larger, and they would be too large, but your toes do hang off a little. They also feel a little narrow. I think they would be great shoes for women with narrow feet. I am hoping that since the strap on the toes is leather, they will stretch to fit my foot.

Across the top is too narrow and the bottom of my big toe set right on the stiched seam. Very uncomfortable and I do not have wide feet at all.

I normally like Born shoes, but the shape of the footbed on these is odd; the toe is very pointy. Also the strap pinched the side of my toe because of the odd angle of the toe part.

Wish I hadn't bought these shoes for one strange reason -- when I wear them, the leather in the buckle area pops up and makes a bump between the two metal pieces of the buckle. I didn't really notice when I first tried them on, so I kept the shoes and wore them out. It was then that I noticed this weird bump thing. Don't know if this is a defect in my particular pair or not. Warning, be sure to walk around in your shoes for a few minutes and see if your pair does the same thing. It is really annoying. Other than that, the shoes are great...lightweight, cushiony feeling, really soft leather, pretty pale grey, off white color. Just make sure your shoes don't do what mine do. I have to stop every few minutes to push the bump down and it comes back right away as soon as I walk anywhere. Annoying.

When first wearing these sandals, my feet slid forward when walking, so my toes ended up hanging over the edge. Fortunately I had a pair of Petals foot pads on hand, and once I put them on the footbed, that took care of the issue. Now they are perfectly comfortable and my feet do not slide.

These shoes are so cute, but they were too narrow for me. My feet are a little wide. If you have narrow feet, especially if your feet are narrow in the toe, these are the shoes for you.

I was so excited to get these in the mail and so disappointed when I opened the box. I had ordered the cherry red, and I don't know what color these really are, but they are not red. They're almost a salmon color, actually; it's hideous. It's as though they were once cherry red but then someone left them in the back window of a car parked in the desert for a year and they faded to this indescribable color that will never be Pantone's color of the year. Even if they'd been the cherry red I was expecting, I'd have sent them back because the footbed is deeply textured and the texture was rubbing uncomfortably on my foot in just the two minutes I walked around in them. Not good. Born.
