Customer Reviews Born Santiam

Love love loooooooooove! Exactly what I expected from Born. Super squishy sole and buttery soft leather. These sandals are so cute and comfy! I normally wear a 9 in Born sandals and most other brands and this size 9 fits perfectly. I do wear an 8 1/2 in all other Born shoes and boots which is weird, I don’t know why the sizing is different across the brand. Anyway would highly recommend these shoes!

The shoe is very lightweight, which I truly liked. The material over the instep does not allow for a hight insteap. The fit was very tight causing my foot to not go entirely into the shoe. This left my heel falling off the back of the shoe and my toes not at the front of the shoe. Quality is great as expected with a Born shoe. The navy blue color was spot on.

Very near perfect sandal; extremely padded foot bed with pretty good arch support. The only thing I didn't like about them [and this is me] is my toes stuck out further than I like ... kind of an 'all toes' look. Otherwise they were exactly what I'd wanted: I did send them back though.

Beautiful leather but uncomfortable and too big. I am between 7.5 and 8, I ordered the 7.5 and it was way to big and wide.

The sole felt great, the shoe was small as far as length goes but the most off part was how loose the weaved leather was on the foot. I felt unstable when I took steps in these. They wouldn’t have worked for walking around and i do not have a slender foot. I prefer wide with for comfort but this was too much.

Super soft and comfortable. The leather doesn’t rub, first day in extreme heat, too!

Cute sandals!! But too loose on top of the foot. I know I have skinny feet, but I wish there was a way to tighten them. I had to return them unfortunately.

These are so comfy. There is a good amount of space in them though, they are not tight-fitting but super cute. The cushioned footbed doesn't provide much arch support but compared to other sandals, these are great. Can't wait to actually get to wear them somewhere.

Fit is perfect.

I have had so many compliments on these sandals. They go with everything. I like the soft leather. Might buy again.

I am a teacher in my late 30’s and bought these for work. I have been wearing a lot of navy lately, and the navy sandals look great with everything. They are easy to put on and take off without having to unhinge the buckle each time, just by sliding the strap over the heel. The leather does not feel cheap. Great style. I would buy these again.

Great

These sandals are extremely comfortable. They have a nice cushion and feel good on the feet. The leather is quite soft and I am very happy with how they look. I usually wear a 9.5 but it seemed slightly long so I ordered a 9 instead and it's perfect. I really like these sandals!

Very comfortable. I really like this shoe and it is comfortable.

This show is great. I bought for myself now my 15 yr old daughter wants a pair.

Nice shoe - cute and comfy! I have other Born shoes, boots, sandals - all in size 9. The 9 in this sandal was too short - returning it for a half size up.

This is the MOST COMFORTABLE sandal I have ever tried on!! The leather is buttery soft and the cushioning is amazing. The sandal completely forms to your foot. There's a little piece of elastic on the heel strap behind the buckle, which makes it even more comfortable and will prevent the leather strap from stretching out. The quality is just amazing and best of all, they're super cute!! I usually wear a 9.5, but I returned these for a 9 and they fit perfectly. I'm planning to buy another pair because I will be living in these all summer.

I highly recommend these sandals. Stepping into these is like stepping into a well broke in shoe. They’re soft as butter and can be worn with jeans to a dress. Coming from someone that has had and continues to have several issues with my rt foot and ankle these are incredibly comfortable right off the bat. It’s hard for me to find shoes or sandals that work for me and these are a find. I’m so happy I gave them a try.

These have been great summer sandals. The navy goes with so much. They have proven great for work and walking the city streets as a tourist. My last Born sandals lasted forever, so expecting the same for these.

LOVE these sandals. I have a wide toe-front and a narrow heel. The foot bed is “super squishy” as one previous reviewer mentioned. They flex very well. I rarely wear heels anymore, so finding a flat that is somewhat sexy is rewarding. I wear them for feeling “pretty”, not for serious walking. I keep another pair of walking sandals in my car for after-work shopping. I love their look so well, I’m considering another pair.

These sandals fit well, very comfortable out of the box. The leather is super soft and looks really nice. My only wish it that it had a better footbed - I don't think I'll be able to wear these all day or trek all over the city sightseeing. They have more support than many sandals but not as much as Taos, Naot, etc. They look great with just about anything.

Bought these for a trip to NYC and was so happy with how comfortable they are. Walked all day and they did not rub anywhere and the sole has great padding. I wear an 8 medium but my foot is more on the narrow side. Purchased an 8 med. Straps might have been a little loose but not enough for my foot to slip or rub. This is the second pair of Born sandals I have purchased and have been very pleased with both pair. The other pair was a wedge.

Pretty comfortable shoe. Thought the top part of shoe might be too loose but did fine after foot adjusted up and buckle tightened.

I love Born shoes because they are comfortable to walk in for long periods but still stylish. These did not disappoint in that regard. They do feel loose tho (wide?) and before long I will have to put an insole in the sandals. Overall tho a great neutral sandal that will go with anything. Grateful Born keeps making wearable styles!

cute shoe. I usually wear 8 -8 1/2, I have a fairly wide foot with a high instep. Ordered the 8.5 fit perfect but a bit too long. I returned for the 8, the length was great but much too tight across the instep. They may give with wear but decided not to take a chance.
