This issue with these sandals is the back strap. If you put your foot in the shoe so that the toe is properly aligned, the back strap falls off. The only way to keep the back strap from falling down is to slide your foot back so that the heel is off the shoe bed and there is about 2 inches of footbed showing in front of your toes.

first, the leather is beautiful and soft. Love the style. My problem is the shoe is too wide. My foot slips forward and toes go over the front of the sandal. I usually wear a 9.5 and ordered size nine. If it were narrower, I think the size was right.

i ordered my regular size + they felt very small. i do not have wide feet at all and the width was very tight + uncomfortable. i love the padding + sole so i’m hoping a size up will work. also the colors from shoe to shoe were completely mis-matched. one was much more brown than the other, almost felt like an entirely different material which was disappointing as well. hoping round two goes much better!

I usually wear 8.5 in BORN driving moccasins - which I live in - bought these in 8 and they are perfect! The previous reviews really helped with my size choice. Was afraid they'd be too short but they fit beautifully and feel so comfortable and soft. Almost like they were made just for me.d

Like walking on clouds! These sandals are super comfortable and stylish. I got them in blue. I’m a 6.5 but I went with a 6 and they are perfect.

I have these in 3 colours. They are comfy out of the box and look good with dresses, pants, casual and semi casual. Get them.

These are really cute, but like many others, I had a problem with the heel strap slipping, but only on one foot. I compared both shoes and the strap on the slipping heel is set about a 1/4” lower. I contacted customer service to exchange my pair and unfortunately the issue was the same with the replacement pair. It didn’t slip immediately but after trying to really walk in them around the house with my normal gait. It may have been easily fixed with some non-slip stickies on the strap, but for $95 bucks, I didn’t want to go through the hassel. Very cute shoes though, and soft sole. I’m still thinking about them and may try a different color to see if the issue is with the style.

I normally buy sandals with a bit more arch support, but these were so comfortable right out of the box that I decided to keep them. The leather is like butter! I could walk all day and my feet never feel tired. I normally wear an 8.5 medium width so I ordered an 8 and they are simply perfect!

Nice, soft leather right out of the box and more cushion in the sole than your average flat sandal. I normally would wear a 10.5 but can rarely find that size, so usually end up with an 11. After reading reviews saying they stretch a bit after wearing I sized down to a 10. I was a little worried they would be too short and my toes would be too close to the top, but it was an good call. They fit fine and do not look like they are too small. I have not worn them other than around the house a bit, so I cannot speak to whether they stretch.

i love these!! i would say they run 1 to 1.5 size bigger then i wear. i have a super narrow foot and usually by 9.5 to 10 and the 10 was to big a baggie (narrow feet) but the 9 was perfect a bit roomy but totally doable. so comfy got lots of compliments!

Although a bit snug on my very wide feet, the leather will stretch and these will be my go-to casual shoe choice until cold weather arrives! I know I can always rely on Born for quality and consistency. Plus in these days of slow shipping, Zappos was very speedy and the shoes were on sale! Yay!

Wonderful. Almost like barefoot but better. The yellow is more of a golden color and blends nice with my tan skin tone so I’ll wear these for every day. The other colors (black and brushed gold), I wear with a sundress or capris. Not really dressy, they are nearly invisible and they don’t take away from whatever I’m wearing.

These are the most comfortable shoes out of the box. They are well made and the leather is so soft.

I loved them so much that I ordered a second pair. I had a similar pair a few years ago and I literally wore out the bottoms

I have very picky feet and live in running shoes because of foot issues. But I needed something that would be comfortable for a wedding. The leather on these is so soft, smooth, and comfortable, with no scratchy seams and no rough edges. I was afraid they wouldn’t fit, because they’re not adjustable; but the 6M actually fits perfectly. My size runs anywhere from a 6M to a 7W and tends to be more wide in the front and more narrow at the heel. It’s possible that these sandals may stretch to the point that the heel doesn’t fit well, but these fit perfectly right out of the box and were very comfortable for wearing several hours. The sole part may not necessarily be dressy enough for ‘cocktail attire,’ but they are soft and pretty. I got these in both the beautiful soft aqua color and black. Very pleasantly pleased with my purchase!

Love these shoes very comfortable! Only flaw they do stretch out a bit with back strap sliding down.

I love these shoes. Had a pair just like these 3 years ago and wore them out! I wore them almost every day. So glad you still have that style!

Loved the shoe but I had to choose between these and a Dansko sandal. The Dansko won this time, but I might order them in black.

Zappos' size recommendation ( 1/2 size down) was perfect! This sandal is extremely comfortable while looking very stylish-- a difficult combination to find! The leather is soft and the footbed is well supported.
