These are great looking sandals and they fit perfectly. But what happened to the famous Born cushion in the foot pad? These are very hard soled sandals so I cannot keep them as they are too jarring to walk in. Born has been my go to shoe for many many years, and I hope they have not traded style for comfort in their new lines.

I ordered these in brown and had to size up to fit, though the shoe seemed too long at the toes then, but they were very comfortable and I wore them often. After maybe three months the toe strap came loose from the sole, I kept wearing them for quick dashes to the garden, and a few weeks later the second toe string popped out. Also the sole stitching got rubbed off from walking in it (it goes through the liner) so now the bottoms are starting to fall apart. For the price I would expect these to last for years! Now I also ordered a blue pair, in my regular size since the brown ones leather did seem to stretch over time and make them loose on my feet. They are still tight and rub and are bothering my feet, especially the tight toe ring. I hope they will stretch out a bit and become as comfortable as my brown ones were before they broke. They are so cute, but I will not buy them again, as there are too many issues...

These shoes are the best. I cannot always wear Born because sometimes they are too narrow. These fit my wide front foot perfectly.

Please save your money! I have purchased many many pair of Born shoes. These fell apart within 2 weeks. The support was nonexistant and the toe strap broke. The leather on these and other newer Born sandals dont have the same quality workmanship that made them famous. The leather is no longer finished in the double sided manner. I replaced this new purchase with a pair of Merrells. At the end of the day I spent two times the money for one pair of shoes.

These sandals are so cushy, loved them! Fit around my big toe was a little tight but I am assuming the leather will stretch out. I wouldn't wear them on a long walk from Day 1 but I think with time they'll be great.

I love Born sandals. Unfortunately one of these arrived with a broken strap. I returned them and ordered another pair right away.

Love the look and overall feel of the shoe - just too narrow for my feet (toe bed area).

I ordered both the Sorja and Sorja II. I'm keeping Sorja II because the piece that fits between the toes is narrower and more comfortable. This piece in Sorja is thick.

Quality of the shoe is great but toe piece is very tight and uncomfortable. Could not wear them.

I liked the look of these sandals very much but the fit was too big. The toe ring was comfortable, the foot bed was also comfortable for a casual sandal. I am returning because of the fit of the leather bands that cross the foot. I am a 7.5 usually but ordered an 8 after reading reviews. I feel that the sandal fit my foot length but was a little too "flip floppy" and loose. I feel like if the toe ring wasn't so snugly fit the sandal would not have stayed on my foot at all- comfortably at least. I have never worn anything other than a m width shoe but maybe these run wide?

I had bought a pair of these Sorja in a beige suede and they were very comfortable until after 3 wearings the left thong broke away from the inside of the footbed. These Sorjas that I purchased from Zappos are the brown leather and are not nearly as comfortable as the suede ones were. The thongs for the toes are so tight I cannot wear them. I have been a believer of Born Shoes for years and now I do not think their workmanship is up to any standards. Neither one of these sandals were inexpensive. I buy Teva now.

Comfy sandal but the first pair I had the toe thong came out after wearing less than a month. Returned and reordered, same thing happened less than 2 months later. Obviously wasn’t a fluke, a quality problem. I expect more from born. These were not inexpensive.

The leather is really stiff on this sandle. Not at all like most Born sandles. Additionally, the sole is very clunky. I'm surprised and yes, it is going back!

These are really cute, well made and quality leather. Unfortunately they do not come in half sizes. Having a wider foot, I needed to order up and not down. I agree with a previous reviewer that the toe loop is thick. I returned these for the sorja II in a larger size and that worked for me.

These shoes are so comfortable! I was worried that the leather upper was a little too stiff so I wore them around the house all evening to try to break them in. I expected to need moleskin, bandaids, and to be dealing with some blisters and pain. I was so wrong. They softened up so quickly and I didn't even get a red spot let alone a blister. The soles are really supportive and they look super cute. Love these shoes!

I love these for their immense comfort and great style. I had an earlier version and wore them down finally after 3 years. I don't like a thong style and you don't feel the toe bed at all. I wear with dresses, shorts and pants. Super versatile!

As expected with Born Shoes this is a very comfortable shoe. Can be worn with a summer dress or casual. I have wide feet so I wore around the house for a few hours and the next day they fit perfect. I Highly recommend Born Shoes!

Good walking sandal that is more stylish than others in the same category. Comfortable right out of the box.
