Customer Reviews Born Iwa

I enjoy these shoes… once I get them on. I’m a wheelchair user and I have a lot of bruising on the tops of my feet, so these are both cute and functional for me. I have to wiggle quite a bit to get my foot in and get the back zipped. It’s not that they’re small or tight, they just don’t slide right into place, if that makes sense. Once on, they are very, very comfortable.I suspect that this is more a problem with the leather as opposed to the suede. I also wish that the back zipper came up slightly higher. It seems to top out at a strange spot. I’d really like to see this style with black suede or dark gray suede and brown soles. Or even a top with perforated patterns.

I would prefer an 8 1/2 as the shoe, although comfortable, looks short. I knew the 9 would be too large and decided to keep them. The leather is very soft and I love the style. Born is a good shoe and their leather and style are great but I do wish they would make half sizes.

These shoes were butter-soft and comfortable. They run a tad bit large. The higher sides on the shoes did not flatter my short legs so I returned them. Love the look, just not on me!

the natural color was off so I returned them. wish it was more natural.

This is a classic look these days and this sandal does a great job of being an everyday shoe. I can wear them with leggings, short, and dresses. They aren't the best choice for a touring shoe but offer moderate support for errands and urban dog walking. The quality is very good. Slightly wide for a narrow foot.

Love these so much that I bought them in denim blue. The reason for the four stars is that there is slight discoloring where the two straps meet and rub but it’s hard to see. They are sublimely comfortable and great looking.

They are very comfortable and stylish. The suede is soft and the sole is flexible but not flimsy. I wanted a sandal with an enclosed heel and the zipper works well without being obtrusive. The color is orange red, very pretty and different. Just wish they had arch support.

Only wore them briefly a couple of turns on carpet. They were lovely in every way except the fit. Going to try the step down size.

I wish it came in 6 1/2. 6 was too small. I will wear them more when my feet are a bit bigger from summer heat so that they fit properly.

I loved these shoes. Like loved! The leather is so soft. Unfortunately, I am a true 9.5M and I couldn’t get the 9 or the 10 to work. I weigh Born would make half sizes.

These are so beautiful- my dream shoe! However, no luck on a wide foot at all, even though I ordered a half a size up. Sent back, disappointed. I wish they had this in a wide.

I absolutely loved these but they are too narrow, so I am returning them.

I am a true 8.5 so the 9s are a loose.

Was great looking in tan. It was quite comfortable. I had to return however as there were strange gaps where the upper shoe crossed. It was probably just my feet, but they just didn't look like a great fit.

These are pretty nice sandals, but I'm going to return them. I like them, don't love them: they cover just a bit too much of my foot -- I wish more skin showed somewhere, on the sides, probably. They're almost completely flat, with a small bit of arch support, very soft suede in the tan color, and in my usual Born size, 9 (I wear a 9.5 in everything else). They're a bit wide for me so there's some space all around my foot, but not so they look funny. Toes peek out nicely, the 3/4 length zipper in back is a cute touch. If they had more arch support and/or about a 1/2 - 1 inch heel, I'd probably keep them. Just not quite what I hoped.

Super cute, but I feel I could go a half size, possibly full size smaller. There’s about an inch of room from the top of the shoe to my big toe, but it’s not the end of the world - theyre still walkable. My usual size is 7, medium width. Pretty sure 6.5 would fit and look better.

The leather feels like butter! I'm a 9 in Born shoes but these feel wide. I'm hoping they don't stretch so that my foot slides forward!!

The shoe style is exactly what I was looking for. The color, not so much. The description and image of the shoe is for navy shoes, not a light blue/light denim color. Since what I wanted is true navy shoes, as shown on the image, I returned.

Fit ok, not enough cushion in foot. Leather is nice but a little stiff around the ankle.

I got these in the all black and I love them but they are indeed true to size and I'm a half size so the shoe is too small. I'd probably keep it as the leather is soft and I think it would conform to my foot with time. My toes just overhang the front seam a bit and they felt a little squished. The main problem is the zipper on the left shoe won't zip up. I tried for 10 minutes and gave up. I wish it came in half sizes and I wish the zipper wasn't faulty.

Too tight across the top

These sandals were beautiful, but they didn't work for me. I normally wear 10.5 so I tried 10 and 11. In both sizes my feet slid forward, such that my toes extended out of the hole and over the footbed in the front. My feet are narrow, so these might work for someone else with wider feet.

Felt great and fit perfectly. Returned only because I wanted true red. These look orangey-red in person but deeper red to me online.

These are beautiful leather sandals that are just too flat even another 1/8 inch at the heel area would have helped they look cute UNTIL they are on your feet I have a smaller foot size 6 1/2. Purchase the seven they just look very unattractive on. Such a waste of beautiful leather also comfort not there for me due to flatness offers no support
