These are cute, comfortable, very light weight sandals. The front straps are a little loose on my medium width foot. I’m hoping the back strap adds security to compensate for the loose front straps. I really like the style.

The Born Pawnee sandal fits great-true to size, looks fabulous-love the height of the heel and color of the soft leather, cushiony-like walking on a cloud and is probably the lightest shoe I have ever owned. Imagine my bewilderment after only a few hours of wearing them at work, walking on mostly carpeted floors-definitely not pounding the pavement, to glance down and see the heel had crinkled, and was visiably creased. I'm guessing the structure that gives the shoe it's cushiony step can't support my weight of a 160 lb without being crushed. Really, really disappointed because there was so much to love about this shoe.

Love Born shoes; they are my favorite for pain free feet all day. I bought these to walk in for exercise and for an upcoming trip where I'll be doing a lot of walking in a city. These ones have some padding in the foot bed.

I am so disappointed in these! I was looking to upgrade from my FAVORITE pair of Born sandals called “Bastille” from a few years ago, and these looked similar...but they are sooo narrow and uncomfortable for me. They might work for you if you have a narrow foot. Born, please bring back wider shoes! ?

Incredibly comfortable shoe, and a really great basic style that will go with a lot of different kinds of outfits. I "normally" wear a size 9, although I have needed to order at 9 1/2 on a lot of the Zappo's brands I've purchased. This shoe was WAY too small at a size 9, with my toes hanging over the edge. Since Born doesn't do half sizes, I decided to try a 10, which would typically be far too large, but it fit perfectly. The strapping near the front of the shoe is a tad wide (my foot is an average B width), but I am able to keep the adjustable ankle strap tight enough to keep the shoe secure.

Love this sandal. The light beige color matches everything. The sandal has a little height but it's a wedge so very comfortable. I wore these new to a wedding and stood all day in them and they were great. Highly recommend.

Best summer shoe yet! So comfortable, Ive worm them to work for an 8 hour workday and my feet felt great. I usually wear a 10 but in Born, I seem to wear an 11. Fits perfectly. Love!!

Love these shoes. They are comfortable and stylish. I have an arthritic knee and I can wear these shoes. Bought two colors and thinking of getting the black.

When I buy new shoes, I look first at Born. I have a closetful that will probably outlive me because they are so well made. I will always pay more for quality and Born is quality. I buy them for comfort and style and I am rarely disappointed. These sandals are wonderful. Cute, comfortable and stylish, but I was pleasantly surprised by the weight of them. Sometimes Born shoes can feel heavy and even a little clunky, but these are lightweight and they bend when you walk which is how shoes are supposed to be. The nude color is perfect and they are not too big in the toe straps. I was a little concerned that the ankle strap's velcro was not adjustable because it was loose on me, but that was not an issue. In fact, I think it made them more comfortable because it didn't rub anywhere or cause issues with stability. I wore them out of the box for hours and had no problems whatsoever. I am thrilled with this purchase and will probably get another color to add to my collection.

After trying 5 different pairs of black sandals (thanks for your patience, Zappos!), I found the one that is comfortable out of the box and should be perfect for a walk-intensive summer trip. Feels great on my wide hard-to-fit feet, has nothing that pokes, scratches, or chafes, and a comfy, bouncy Born footbed.

This is my new favorite shoe. They're SO comfortable! I'm short so I love how they make me feel a bit taller without a high heel. Even though the sole is thick, they're super light.

I’m on my feet all day for my job and I am obsessed with these. I can start my day at 7am and come home at 5pm with no pain. So comfortable. I need the other colors! Pretty true to size.

I wish the sole on these wasn’t quite so light colored, but I’m keeping them because they are extremely comfortable on my hard-to-please feet. Also impressed yet again by Zappos’ quick delivery!

Lightweight and comfortable for extended walking, while giving some height. The two front straps are positioned wide enough for a lovely bunion on one foot and they obscure it. The velcro on the ankle straps doesn't tighten enough for me because of the way the leather is folded, but it's a small issue. I usually wear 8 /8.5 wide in pumps; I got these in 9 and they work. The light sole cleaned up easily after I walked through muddy grass after a rain, too.

Really liked the look of these. Don’t have half sizes so couldn’t order larger. Leather was very soft.

This Born shoe is fine. Slightly higher than I would like but still a 1.x inch height difference between heel and toe. Earlier Borns were more comfortable.

LOVE these sandals. I ordered a size up (I'm usually a solid 9 in all sandals, but I've had experience with Born running small before). They give me some height and so comfortable. I always feel like I have a little spring in my step wearing these. Cute with summer dresses. My feet never get sore or tired in these sandals. I ordered the Brown and it's a beautiful color - goes great with a ton of things. You know you like a shoe when you're coming up with outfits to wear with them!

I am 58 years old and realize my feet are tired ... these shoes are pretty amazing! I work at a university and walk around campus often, so finding shoes that are comfortable and fashionable is a real treat. My feet truly don't hurt like they were when I was wearing less supportive shoes. Now I want to find more Born brand shoes b/c of the support and padding. I also have a bunion on my right foot that fortunately falls between the two top straps, so no pain! I'm a fan!

Love, love, love these shoes! I injured my left foot two years ago and these are the first heels I have been able to wear since then. They are so comfortable and supportive. These shoes are engineered to distribute the weight in a way that my forefoot does not hurt at all. I loved the brown one and then decided to buy the black too.

I love these sandals. They fit perfectly and are so comfortable. It is rare that I can wear a new pair of shoes and they don't hurt my feet.
