Customer Reviews Born Lovely

Very nice sandal it is comfortable but I need a more supportive and cushioned footbed. It is cute, but I opted for a Born with more padding.

These looked so nice. However, the sizing was very odd. I have Born sandals in size 8, but size 8 on these was way too short and it felt like my foot was being pushed forward so that my toes hung off the edge. They were also on the wider side and there is nothing besides the back strap that can be tightened.

I bought these in Cognac and love them! I needed a comfortable, attractive sandal for an out of country trip that will include a lot of walking. These have flexible soles and should be great for walking. I have wide feet and these work great for me but I could see them being too wide or loose for those with a narrow foot.

My unicorn!!! Perfect color, wide enough for my wider than average feet, and flattering even though there are a lot of straps. I’m thrilled!

These are not white, actually gray!

I purchased these in white, only they are really a light gray in some light and a buff colored off-white in other. I had originally bought another pair of Born (Mai) which are more feminine and a thin strappy sandal, which I LOVED but they were also light gray and I really needed a true white. I sent them back thinking they had sent me the wrong color but it appears that this summer this IS Born's version of white. Had I known that I would have kept the Mai (which I also bought in black) but by the time I realized this, they were out of stock... so I ordered the Born Lovely. I keep reading about how they don't have any arch support but are like going barefoot. That is actually a GOOD thing since all these supportive shoes we are wearing are weakening our feet and our muscles atrophy. It's kind of like having one's foot in a cast. Going barefoot strengthens our feet and from that aspect I absolutely LOVE this sandal! I DO wish it were a true white and a little more feminine but it is without a doubt one of the most comfortable sandals I have ever worn!

I bought these sandals because I wanted something flat, in bone, taupe or natural leather. These totally fit the bill and are super cute. The neutral shade means I can wear them with almost anything! I have large bunions on my feet and these were comfy right out of the box. They do have an adjustable buckle but also have some elastic built in to the heel strap so, by golly, one doesn't have to mess around with the buckle each and every time. You can slip them off AND on! I wouldn't say the footbed is very supportive for a high-arch foot, but they aren't uncomfortable to walk in. Wish they had a bit more cushioning, though.

These are very attractive with the way the straps wrap around my feet and they are the perfect summer black sandal for work outfits that need a black shoe. The only thing I’d change, would be to add slightly more heal (only maybe 1”-1.5”) and more cushion in the sole and I’d get them in every color. These are completely flat with very little support and I find it similar to wearing flip flop soles all day. Because these are so flat, the heal strap is key, otherwise it’d be very hard to keep these on. I kept them for style for work, but I have to change out of them to do the dog walk when I get home. Hoping Born comes out with a slightly higher healed version of this strappy style down the road.

This shoe was incredibly comfortable straight out of the box. I wear a size 7 and the shoe definitely felt true to size. The leather is so smooth and there was no breaking-in period needed.

I bought these for a Europe trip and the leather is possibly the softest leather I have ever felt in a shoe. It is amazing. No need to break these in at all (at least not in the black that I ordered). However, I should have opted for sandals with a little softer footbed and/or more arch support. I had a full itinerary and walked a ton, though. If you were just wearing these around town, I think you'd be very happy with them.

I ordered an 8 because I have a bunion on my right foot so I needed the shoe to be a little larger and it appears to have worked out for me. The material is soft, very comfortable, good padding. I like the way the sandal looks with shorts and skirts.

This shoe seemed to fit true to size. I ordered the shoe in my regular size and it fit well. However, the shoe is wider than I expected, which makes it look less fashionable than what I would like. Still, the shoe is comfortable and easily paired with my daily teacher attire.

Super comfortable but more casual than I was looking for and made my feet look very wide

Super cute. Very comfortable. Unfortunately the straps were all way too wide. My foot slid around & slipped forward. I may try a size down, but think it’ll be too short. Bummer!

They did not have enough support for me.

This is a very cute shoe but it has no support at all. It's like you're walking barefooted. I will have to keep them since I did wear them but it will for when I do very little walking. Born disappointed me on this one.

I am 71/2, I have to return the 8 for a size 7. I also changed the color from cognac to black. Hope they fit

These are nice shoes, but I'm not going to keep them. One of the straps hits my little toe and somewhat hurts it. I'm choosing a Kork Ease style over this one. Be warned, there is minimal arch support. I'm just sensitive to that as I generally wear Birkenstocks.

I like the style and comfort, but heel closure is too short, and in a difficult position to close.

Seemed way too big around the back of my heel, to make them fit I would have had to poke another hole in the leather strap. Very comfortable though.

I wanted to love these sandals but they felt very wide and just wearing them around the house my foot was sliding forward constantly. Sadly going back.

I bought them in an 8 had to return them they were big also no support

I exchanged the 8 for a 7 and have to return them. My fourth toe hung off the toe box:(

These sandals were too small for my size 11 feet. Unfortunately at that size, I can’t size up to accommodate. Had to return.

Yep, as with the other reviewer this definitely grey, not white
