Customer Reviews Born Niel

I love wearing sandals and flip flops in the summer. These sandals are comfortable and the style is super cute. Made well.

Cute and comfy but unfortunately a bit too narrow.

Nice sandals but wasn't too impressed with the leather ....it was thinner than I expect .

I lik te way the strapes felt but then the footbed was a little to short. I ordered a 8.5 and a 9 because of other reviews and i usually wear a 9. I kept the nine, it was the closest to the fit I wanted.

I wanted to love this cute shoe but the extra strap at the top front of my ankle was not comfortable.

I love this shoe! It's a long story, but I ended up with 2 pairs of the same size. One pair had a few scuffs and the leather over the toe left a bit of a gap over my toes. The second pair fit great (they seemed a hair smaller over all-it's like the first pair had been stretched out...) So I kept the smaller/tighter fitting pair. THEY ARE SO COMFORTABLE! I have kind of narrow feet and other BORN shoes (like the clogs) are too big for me, but these are great! The buckle sits on my ankle bone but I wear them every day and they've never worn a blister or been uncomfortable. I usually wear a 7.5 or 8. I bought an 8 and they fit perfectly. There's no break-in time on these shoes-they feel good right off the bat. The light brown leather is soft but still has structure and I love that they are kind of "hippy" feeling. If they get scuffed-who cares? They will be sandals I will wear out and then cry when I can't get another pair. As far as the logo goes-I hate logos and this one is super subtle. It's simply a small embossed logo at the toe. LESSON LEARNED: TRY ON TWO PAIRS OF THE SAME SHOES.

Had to return sadly. Cute sandal but the ankle strap kit my ankle bone and was rubbing so knew I would get a blister. Also color is more light tan than white.

This is a pretty shoe for a comfort style. The footbed is really soft - soft leather and very cushioned. No arch support other than the overall cushion. The buckle felt a little flimsy. There is elastic right by it that seemed already ready to give up. And I don't like the logo on the top strap. Looks cheap. These were too deep for my foot. I had thenright length but lots of space on top so my foot was sliding around. This aspect is not adjustable

Runs large. If you wear a half size, size down for sure.

Comfortable right out of the box. Love them!

These sandals are really cute, but were too narrow for my feet. Returned them.

Nice, comfortable sandal for shorts and adventure pants.

Nice shoe for kicking around this summer in shorts and comfort pants. Very comfortable.

Overall great. I need the strap that buckles longer.

I love these sandals-- the color, the style, the comfort. But they are not for wide feet, so they won't work for me. I have many pairs of Borns but these sandals just don't work-- the strap is too narrow and not at all forgiving. Sending them back :(

I really wanted to love these. But the buckle hit my ankle right on ankle bone and was very uncomfortable. Also the stitching on the soles would have been a challenge to my sensitive feet.

I received this shoe today. The left fits perfectly...I can tell that it is brand new; however, the right shoe shows evidence that it's been worn and is scratched and stretched. The shoes were not packaged with supportive inserts either.

I really wanted to like these sandals. Unfortunately, the 7 was much too small and the 8 was much too big. 7.5 would have been perfect. Had to return

I want to love these so bad. I love the color and feel of the leather. The strap that buckles is too long for my narrow ankle so I would have to take these to a shoe repair to have the strap shortened. The bigger, unfixable issue, is the meek support in the sole. 1/2 inch of cushion would have been a game changer. At 6' tall, I need more shock absorption. These sandals are so close but I couldn't walk that much comfortably in them.

The leather was soft and I liked the style. The bed of the shoe was true to size and padded enough to make me happy. However, the straps were so loose they mostly didn't touch the tops of my feet, just floated above them. I had to send them back. Not sure why they are mostly reviewed as true to size. I have an average age 50+ foot, not narrow. The straps seem extra wide to me.

This sandal looks comfy but it’s not. There is no arch support and they made me walk in an awkward fashion to keep them on my feet. Unfortunately, they did not work for me.

Cute and comfortable but too wide for my moderately narrow foot. I was sliding around in these shoes.

Fit was strange and not adjustable - the straps were too tall. Also as another reviewer noted, the logo on the strap across the toes on one of the shoes is really ugly. It is a giant embossed acorn.

I bought this shoe in the black and I ordered the 7 even though I typically wear an 8 due to the reviews of others. So I thought I would order the tan/brown. The tan shoe seems a bit smaller in the size 7 and feels like it is pushing my foot forward so my toes hang off. This doesn't happen with the black pair. I typically really always think Born is my go-to for extremely comfortable shoes, but I have ordered a few other styles now and they all have a few issues this season. Hope they get it together. I would say if you would like to try this shoe, go down one size and order a few because they fit differently per pair in my experience.

These just looked cheap to me in the light brown. The soles were a weird rubber color, and the leather looked scratched upon arrival. They were moderately comfortable on, but I didn’t like how they looked enough to keep them.
