I have issues with my feet and only Born and Earth shoes typically provide enough arch support. Often, because of a bunion, I am unhappy with how shoes feel around the toe box. Not so with these. The second I put them on they felt like slippers. The leather upper is extremely soft and the footbed is cushioned and squishy with great arch support. The only negative I have is that these are not the most stylish of shoes but I am happy to sacrifice some style for a lot of comfort!

These shoes are WONDERFUL!! I wish I had purchased them first. They are soft, comfortible, and they dont bother my hammer toe. I have a wide foot but I ordered a med width and the fit is awesome. A wide would have been too big. Looks good on my foot, nice and neat. Wish there were more colors.

I saw this shoe in a very lovely local store and it was on sale! However, my size was not available but I found it here. I think the shoe is very nice looking and a good transition from summer to fall. I wore them today for the first time and love the feel of the footbed. The only problem was that they feel very tight over the top of the instep and caused some bruise marks on my foot. The leather is very soft so I think they will stretch a bit. Love the shoe!

The fit of the shoe is accurate for a sandal type with open toe and shoe fits like a glove. Super comfortable as are all Born shoes I have purchased. i originally purchased these in color Blush and was so impressed i also ordered them in black! Doesn't everyone need a pair of black shoes especially with that comfort level?One review was that these lacked fashion! Not so! I am not quite 5 ft tall and these have some elevation in sole which creates an eye catching, classy look while being an everyday shoe! Leather is soft and beautiful! tempted to order in another color at sale price!

These are very comfortable and cute. True to size. Returning because the blush color blended in with my feet and they looked weird. I returned and got in the gray color. True to size.

These are super cute and comfortable. They will be good in the transition from summer to fall. The grey color is very pretty and neutral. Fit true to size - I am a 7/7.5 and the 7 fit well.

Love this shoe and the ease of walking, my foot seems to just flow along as I wisk down the halls at work, it's as though I'm in sneakers. There that comfortable! In fact, I loved the first pair, black, I hurried and bought the light blush, too! Both go well with everything in my wardrobe for the office. Yes, the front open toe area took a day or so to give a bit. I could feel my 2nd toe making contact at the front opening but after a day no more contact. Besides, the beauty of leather shoes with leather lining means it'll 'give' just where your foot will need it. And that's why I love Born shoes!

Love this shoe! Comfortable right out of the box. Børn is a brand that usually fits me well. I order a 10 for Børn when I usually order 10.5 or 11 in others. The materials here are lighter than in some styles, making a substantial but light sole. The style looks a bit old lady-ish in the picture but it looks better on. All but the little toe show, which I like.

I normally order a Wide, but it was not available in this style. I ordered anyway because I really like it. Turns out I really Love it! So much so that I ordered in both grey and black. The grey is just a lovely, pale nude-ish kind of grey, have received compliments and only worn twice. Looks and feels great, you will not be disappointed.

These sandals are very comfortable & cushy. Good support and my feet feel secure while walking in these sandals. I like the wedge heel as it adds a little height. Sandals from Born never disappoint me.

I was hoping the 6 would fit, it sometimes does in Born. But these were too wide. Very cute though.

Hopefully one of these days, Born will make shoes with wide widths available. I bought 1/2 size up because of toe issues and it helped. They were a bit tight across the toes and front top part of sandal but other than that they were quite comfortable and I was complimented on them several times at my son’s wedding. The blush color is neutral enough so it goes with just about everything. They were even easygoing on my hammer toes on both feet. That was very nice! I wore them the whole afternoon! Ankle strap is a bit awkward and hard to find adjustment so it lies flat. Could be a bit more spacious around that front part of the shoe for those of us who’s feet swell in the summer heat.

I really wanted to love this shoe - it's SUPER cushy and comfortable, like little pockets of clouds under my feet. However, I couldn't get the strap quite tight enough around my narrow heel and so it didn't fit as well as I had hoped and it looked a little odd. Also, I had high hopes for the gray color but it was more bone colored than gray and I didn't love it. Also, disappointingly, the strap showed some signs of fraying right out of the box. My shoe size is between a 6 and a 5.5, and the size 6 was fine for me.

I’m very happy with these. The color is perfect to wear with just about anything. Minimal time to break in. I’m not happy with Zappos tho. The pair I received had clearly been worn before, soles dirty,etc. I would have returned them but they were a good price and I really needed them.

I can't keep these shoes because the ankle strap won't go tight enough, and I don't think there's any way to get them modified. I have such a hard time finding shoes, that I would actually consider taking a new pair of shoes to the shoe repair shop if it meant I could have a comfortable and stylish pair of shoes. The footbed felt great, the toe opening didn't rub, and the heel height was just right. But regarding style, something about the perforated leather looks old lady-ish.

This shoe was pretty large on me (could not cinch strap any tighter around ankle + strap over arch was loose). I ordered the 7 and it seems to fit pretty well.

Just arrived and I love the look of this shoe. I ordered the Navy with the white-ish footbed, didn't think I would like it but it is rather nice looking. Needed a dressy navy shoe for church. Very comfortable out of the box, but I haven't yet spent the day in them. Seems cushy enough and i love the slight heel. I gave it a 4 star only b/c the heel strap can only tighten so far but I have a narrow heel. I feel the size 8 for me may be just slightly too small but not enough to return as the 9 would be too big. I will update later after some wear has been put to this sandal.

I often wear a 7.5 US, and the size 7 worked for me, no extra length, though. I bought it because the sole is extremely soft and supportive, like walking on a marshmallow with support, and I liked the adjustable velcro ankle strap for a personalized fit (the velcro is unnoticeable) and the leather looks rich. The only comfort issue I had with this style was that the front edge line of the wide band cuts into my foot/toes. I am wearing invisible blister band-aids along the front where that edge hits until it softens up.

I was really hoping this shoe would fit, but it was just too wide for my foot which runs on the narrow side. It is difficult to find good, comfortable, attractive shoes for the narrow foot. Unfortunately, manufacturers don't realize that they are missing a lot of money by ignoring customers with narrow feet.
