Customer Reviews Born San Isabel

Love these. They are soft, comfy and stay on my feet. Very nice cushion for an espadrille style I expect i'll be able to wear them all day and still be comfortable.

The leather is oh so soft! I fell in love with these comfy cute shoes but unfortunately they were too wide. My feet are very slightly narrow/regular width and there was no way I could make these work. A smaller size would be too short and these were wide on my feet. I sadly have to return them.

Very nice shoe with usual Born support and comfort. The backstrap on this shoe keeps it secure; as much as I like to wear slides having a strap adds stability. Nice red color, not overly bright. My size 7 fit as usual. A few years ago I bought some Born sandals that were disappointing, the quality was not there; in this case the quality has returned.

Love this style...I'm especially happy to have the back strap support. The cushy insole is so comfortable...I can walk all day...no issues. Multiple color choices too, I almost got the blue. And thanks to ZAPPOS I didn't have exorbitant shipping fees!

These are comfortable, lightweight but sturdy sandals. I will probably order another pair or two in other colors.

I have this style sandal in the coral red color and love them. In Ocra, not so much. The color is in style, but it doesn't look good against my pale feet (no pedicure this summer). I'll return and maybe get the light navy blue. I do like the soft wide leather band and the elastic heel strap. They fit in my usual Born shoe size, 9, while I typically wear a 9.5 shoe in all other brands. They're a little bit wide for my medium to narrow feet, but they stay on nicely and only "flap" when I walk a little bit. Not for hiking, but great when lots of walking isn't required. Very little arch support, but well padded in general. A bit flat for me.

I wear lots of Born boots but find their shoes and sandals don't fit as well -- they're almost always too wide for my medium to narrow feet with narrow heels. These are okay in my usual Born size , 9 (I wear a 9.5 in every other company's shoes). I bought the red, which is actually coral, I think, and beautiful. The heel strap holds them on nicely, the leather is very soft, and there's minimal padding or arch support. I won't wear them to walk long distances, because they're too flat and unpadded for me (think Naot for what I consider great padding/support) but I will wear them because it's summer and I love the wide leather panel across my bony feet. Wish they had another 1/2" of heel height. That would help support my feet.

Although these are very nice shoes and the yellow color leather is great, they do not come in size 10.5 and the size 11 suggested by Zappos is to big. I suspect 10 would be too small. The back strap is elastic and there is no buckle or way to adjust it which would make it even harder to get a good fit. Shoe looks well made so I’m sorry that I need to return it.

These sandals have the softest leather and the support is generous and supple. I have tried support shoes and sandals before, such as Birkenstock, and they are actually painful because they are so stiff and hard. I don't know why people wear them. The styling of the Born San Isabel is classic and understated, but also feminine. The width is appropriate for my feet, but if you are a real "B" or medium, you may find them too wide. I highly recommend these lovely sandals. Mine are black, but I may buy other colors for next year.

These are super comfortable. The footbed is pillowy and provides enough support for me. The fit is snug enough to walk without slipping. I’m very happy with this addition to my wardrobe. I’m a little worried about how long these will last with the elastic in the back (I like to keep things as long as possible), but haven’t seen any evidence that they’ll fall apart any time soon.

So comfortable. It's a wider shoe and not very snug around my narrow size 12 foot, but I'm keeping them anyway because they are sooooo cute and comfortable!

This shoe is amazing! I have a small bunion on my right big toe which makes finding sandals that fit correctly challenging. These shoes fit perfectly and are so comfortable!

I really wanted to like these shoes. The leather is very soft and the sole is cushiony. But they are a tad too small and Borns don’t come in half sizes. The strap connection hits me on a bone on the side of my foot and is not comfortable.

With no arch support, these were not comfortable. Also, the insole on the heel of the right sandal has a gap or something that clicks when stepping. It's a defect, I'm sure. So these go back. It seems like Born has currently lost the quality of shoes from years ago.

The shoes are very comfortable EXCEPT that the back strap was way too long, so these shoes wouldn’t stay on. Unfortunately there was no way to adjust the strap. I’m going to exchange them for a smaller size. I hope this works!
