Love the style, but the leather was a bit baggy around the ankle so I returned them. No arch support, but I knew that when I ordered them.

I have other Born shoes and this sandal was great. My only issue was the color as it was not white like i expected more off white. Otherwise fit was true and quality excellant

These are different and the leather is pretty and soft, but sturdy. The foot bed is sturdy and padded. There is a nice strip of leather that goes between your heel and the zipper, to protect. Unfortunately I am returning size 9 (too large) and also size 8 (too small) and these do not come in half sizes.

I loved the look of this shoe online and couldn't resist it. The leather was luxe, soft and silky smooth. I am hoping that it is a 'loosen after wearing' shoe as I found the forefoot and midfoot (top of foot) to be fairly tight on me. If that part of your foot is lower, you'll be fine, my midfoot is high.

I purchased the suede and they were soft, flexible , true to size, nicely designed and comfortable on my wide feet. However there was a very noticeable scratch on the front of the shoe so I sent them back. If they were in perfect condition, I would have kept them. Instead I purchased a different pair. Took a star off my review for that reason.

I love these candles. I first had them in black and then bought the brown ones (more like a tan color, but it was just what I wanted). Unfortunately, they don't seem to be made as well as the black ones and are coming apart. It's a shame because I do love them and they're comfy.

Nice shoe, but a little short. Wish they came in half sizes. Will be returning.

They are a very comfortable and stylish shoe. My only concern is that the zipper is sometimes hard to use.

I've had two foot surgeries in the last 6 months, and finding any shoes that don't hurt is almost impossible. But these come pretty close! I do with this color wasn't metallic, because I like the suede finish. But as I said - they don't hurt, so it's all good!

The leather is gorgeous but so soft that the sandal lacks some structure. I decided to keep them because I like the style, they're comfortable enough and they fill a hole in my shoe wardrobe.

The design is unique and can be dressed up or down. I only gave 4 stars as it doesn't have any arch support, but no one said it had any. I was able to wear it for hours of casual walking and I felt the lack of arch support but it didn't cause any pain. Perfect for summer! I'm usually size 6.5 and I got a 7. Definitely recommendable.

I think they are awesome and very comfortable. My husband doesn't understand them. He thinks they are strange looking. I'm keeping them and loving them

These felt super narrow to me. Pitched my toes in the front. Not a good look! Had to return. Leather felt very soft and is probably a comfortable shoe for people with a narrow foot.

I wear a 9.5 size shoe. I bought the 9 because I knew that Borns run large. Didn’t work. Had to return it the leather is soft and with an arch insert this shoe would be incredible!

I usually go for a wide width if available but these were fine. My usual size is 8.5 W I purchased these in a 9 and they were great. 8 was too small all around. I tried both the black leather and the more flexible green suade and need a 9 in both. Overall recommend but the black leather gapes a little at the crossover on the upper.

I don't understand it but Born used to be one of the best shoes for arch support. These shoes provided no arch support or sole comfort (to knees). They looked great but didn't offer what I needed!

Incredibly comfy, love the look and the color. Only downside is the way the open toe is cut makes toes look bit long

If you have high arches be careful. I thought these would work, I even tried them at home they seemed great. I took them on vacation and while wearing them at my mom’s home, the sandal felt like a vice grip. I packed them up and brought them home to return them.

This is a nice shoe but my foot is tricky and it did not fit me well. I need a shoe with a snug upper or my foot slides forward - that is why I am returning this pair. The leather is lovely.
