Customer Reviews Born Niel

I ordered a 10 and an 11 as I often wear one or the other. Usually I’m an 11 but have a narrow foot and often 11s are too big as was the case with this shoe. Although the 10 is a teensy small (my toes come right up to the end) I’m gonna keep these shoes because the gold color is magnificent and the comfort superior. If only it was a 10 1/2!

Love these sandals! I bought them and wore them walking 8-9 miles a day in Europe the next day! We got poured on one day and they held up amazingly! Another win for Born!

These sandals are comfy right out of the box. They are true to size and medium width. Since they aren't slipons, I have to buckle them every time I wear them, which is a lot. Not a tine saver, but nice.

I love these sandals. I bought them in black & nude. They are consistent in size. Normally wear an 8 1/2-9 & purchased the 9 in these. I have slightly wider feet and they feel great. There was not breaking-in period for either pair, the leather is comfy & soft right out of the box. Good for walking unless you need moderate-full arch support. The footbed is nice and soft though.They look good too. Paired with jeans, dresses & have dressed them up as well. Love them.

I life in Birkenstocks and flip flops and was looking for a little dressier sandal. These are comfortable and cute!!

Lovely sandal! Supple, high quality leather. Gold tone is just right - - not too shiny and the perfect neutral to match many outfits. Amazingly comfortable! I wore these brand new for several days of a two week trip along the California coast where we did a ton of walking and they required zero break-in time. The footbed has the perfect amount of padding and straps are comfortable as well. My only complaint is the logo on the lower toe strap. Otherwise, these are stylish, versatile and a dream to walk in!!

These were perfect: comfortable and cute. fit perfectly! finally a win!!

I have been purchasing Born shoes for years. So I am rarely disappointed. But these sandals go way beyond fantastic! As another reviewer said, comfortable, walk a mile shoes right out of the box. No break in time needed. There isn’t a lot of support, if you want to compare them to Vionic, I suppose. HOWEVER, the soles are more padded and cushiony than others I’ve tried. Also, I wish the color had been a bit less gray and maybe more off-white. But they are still white enough to go with everything. To be honest with y’all, these are 99% perfect. I love them, love them, love them. I may need to move to Arizona so I can wear them year around!

Love these sandals, they look great and are very comfortable. I wore them to an all day outdoor music festival the first time I wore them l, and they were super comfortable all day standing and walking around. No time needed to break them in and no blisters! I usually wear an 8.5 in heels and closed-toe shoes and a 9 in tennis shoes and sandals. I got these in a 9 and they fit perfectly.

Loved these sandals. Been on the lookout for great semi casual sandals. The raw leather looks great and I have been wearing them all day with out discomfort. Taking them on a 2 week overseas trip next month. Definitely recommend

Like all the Born shoes I’ve purchased, these were great right out of the box. Very comfortable, especially the footbed. Nice, soft leather straps. And they look great with all my summer dresses, shorts and capris. I bought them in black but I’m looking at the gold ones. A little pricey for me but worth every penny.

Love the gold, can be dressed up or down. secure on foot, soft straps, supportive and comfy sole for a sandal like this.

Gorgeous shoe. Unfortunately it only comes in whole sizes and I'm a 6 1/2. I've tried a few different Born sandals looking for a fun metallic sandal for spring & summer but it seems they all come in whole sizes. Annoying. I got this sandal in a size 7 and it's a bit too big in the length which I could maybe be okay with but the straps feel like they're made for a wider foot. The one across the toes is already very loose and I know that because the leather is super soft it will stretch with wear. Such a bummer because they are so comfy and cute but they are just not made for my foot. I'm not even going to bother trying the size 6 because my previous attempts these last few weeks have taught me that it will be too short in the footbed. Back they go. The search continues!

I LOVE these sandals so much! They are very comfortable as well as stylish. The fit is perfect! I bought them in black and loved them so much I bought them in white and a backup pair in black for future use. They are my favorite sandals in a long while.

I ordered the tan leather. They are cute and comfortable shoes; however, they were too narrow for my wide forefoot.

Too narrow...most women have feet that are wider in the toe area. What's happening to born. I used to be able to wear them...last fall.

Wow, I admittedly didn’t think these would be so comfortable! I dislike the label stamp but otherwise it’s a very pretty shoe and the stamp stands out a little less in the white. I actually think I could walk in these. They are cute, nice staple.

These shoes are just so stylish, comfortable, and made of buttery soft leather. If you are on the fence, do not hesitate to get them, I know they will be my go to for the summer! Also, I bought my normal size 9 and they fit perfectly.

Walked all over Europe in these cute sandals and they were great. I do have to say, the embossed leather soles rubbed a bit, I didn’t think it would be an issue, eventually they did cause a blister on the ball of my foot. Still love them though!

LOVE THIS SANDAL! I almost feel like I should order another pair for when these wear out. I always receive compliments when I wear them - look great with jeans, shorts or skirts. Super comfortable! LOVE!

I really enjoyed this style - comfort and chic in one sandal. For me, it was cuter in person than online. Leather is soft and of good quality and there is good cushioning. The footbed is flat with no arch support and is slight inflexible if those are some of your concerns. They are comfortable for walking, I have a wider foot and no blisters so far.

I have a slightly wide foot and "large" ankles although I am tall and slender. These are gorgeous. They are a great gold - not too bright but not dull either. I intend to wear this sandal with a dressy maxi dress or with jeans.

I typically wear a 9.5 but the 9 did work for me. I loved the color and the style and can wear them all day comfortably. They go with everything and don't look frumpy! The leather is super soft and they were comfortable right out of the box. Very flat though with little arch support but some padding.

I am usually a big fan of Born shoes, particularly for walking many miles. This sandal ruins slightly narrower than usual. Additionally, I find these sandals less comfortable than other Born shoes that I have owned. I can't quite figure out what the issue is--and it hasn't stopped me from wearing the shoes--but my feet feel less supported and more fatigued when wearing this model compared to other shoes from this brand. I live in a city and walk a lot, so my need for comfortable shoes is probably higher than what the average wearer is looking for in a sandal. On a vain note, I have received compliments on them. :)

I love these sandals! I ordered a size 7 because so many reviews said they run large, but I found them to be small. I'm going to try the 8 and see what happens.
