Fit was great, and I have pretty wide feet. Love that they are hefty leather! So worth every penny! Great colors too!

These shoes are gorgeous and SO very comfortable! I am very happy with my purchase! I may even have to buy them in another color.

I love these shoes so much, I’m ordering in another color. The soles are very comfortable and because the straps are so wide, they’re a nice hug for my foot and don’t cut in at all. Perfect shoe/sandal hybrid for spring-fall.

Bought these in bronze in 2020 and I've enjoyed wearing them over the last two summers. Just bought them in navy - as with most navy shoes, "navy" is a little subjective - these are a lighter navy, almost more of a dark smoky blue. I have a slightly wider foot, and am a dependable 10.5 in Cole Haan, but range between 10, 10.5 and 11 in other brands, including Born and B.O.C. I bought these in 11 and they're perfect.

These are fashionable, comfortable , soft leather shoes with a great foot bed. I returned them because I was afraid the leather would stretch (as did another Born shoe)and make them too wide for me. Wish I could have kept them.

This is the second pair I buy but now a different color. I love them. They're comfy, they look great in pants, shorts, skirts and dresses!

These shoes are comfortable and fit just right. I have had my eye on them for over a year, and I am not disappointed. Thinking about ordering another pair in a different color.

I absolutely love these sandals! The leather is smooth and supple, the fit is super comfortable with the shoe hugging the foot, and the color is beautiful. I like them so much I'm thinking about getting the black ones too. I find them to be true to size. If you're between sizes I'd size up.

I love these shoes. They are so comfortable out of the box. The yellow is beautiful and the red 1 is red. I have the original red that is more orange. As you can tell I adore these shoes. Thanks Born.

When I first tried on these sandals, I was disappointed. The left foot was perfect, the right felt - not quite right. I thought I'm going to have to return. The size was great, width as expected. I put them back in the box to deal with the next morning. Before sending them back I thought I'll try one more time. If you TAKE OUT the thin cardboard support the right foot fits perfectly! So don't get tripped up like I did -- it's thin, it's the same color as the leather inside the shoe and apparently you can put your foot in while it's in place. Glad I tried again - nice shoe :-)

I absolutely love these sandals. From the time I tried them on in the store I knew I had to purchase them. They are super comfortable and very stylish. I love the rich color of the dark tan. I may need to have these in black too!

I usually go for a wide width if available but these were fine. My usual size is 8.5 W. I purchased these in an 8 since they are suede, I thought they might give enough as usually born in 9 is too long for my foot. The 8 in this was too small all around. Overall recommend but I need to size up to the 9.

Born sz 9 is sometimes long for me as I am sz 8.5 slightly Wide so I tried the 8 thinking the suede would stretch enough to fit but, no, this Iwa style both woven and regular, both leather and suede fit me better in a 9; at least out of the box.

I am usually a 9.5 but ordered 10 since these do not come in 1/2 sizes. My feet are a little on the wider side and these fit perfect and are so comfortable. Haven’t worn them outside yet (it’s still winter here in MN) but have worn them around the house, partly to try them out and party cause I think they are so cute!!

- As I read in other reviews, this shoe was perfect for my slightly wider foot. - Very nice style. Soft leather, but I'm a little concerned about durability. Only time will tell. - Lack of arch support is OK at the moment, because the wrapped-style leather holds my foot in place. I wonder if this will be problematic once the leather stretches a bit.

Love the color leather I got! It's hard to find Vachetta leather. Haven't really worn them yet (still snowing), but felt pretty comfortable at first try-on. A little concerned about quality of back zipper. I'll wear in house to make sure. Style is great!!
I'd also recommend:
Birkenstock; Doc Martens; Haflinger and Fly London.

These were super comfy and fit perfect. I only returned because I was worried about keeping the light color clean. Ended up buying the bronze on another site because they weren't available here.

This was the exact style I was looking for in a spring shoe. Most often the Born brand doesn't fit me well but this one does. They appear to be very comfortable although my use has been limited so far

A little tight around the toes but I’m sure that will be more comfortable as I wear them. Soft shiny leather. Cushy sole. I love Born shoes !
I'd also recommend:

I already have the brown version of this sandal and now I have the blue suede ones too. I love them and so does everyone else according to the compliments I am getting.
