Customer Reviews Born Marlowe

These cute sandals were comfortable right out of the box. My shoe size is 7.5 and these come in full sizes. After comparing the fit of the recommended size 8 to a size 7, I chose the size 7. My feet are slightly wide and I have bunions, so these fit nicely.

Born sandals are hit or miss for me because I wear an 8.5M and they are only offered in full sizes. The size 8 in this sandal is the right length for me but the shoe itself is much too wide. They are beautifully made so, if you have wider feet, you will probably love them.

This shoe is made of very thin and very soft, buttery leather. The buckle area would probably break if I wore them a lot. The straps were difficult to fasten because they are on the opposite sides of my ankles and hard to reach without contorting myself. Also, the shoe is wider in the front toe area, so when I adjusted the ankle strap to fit, the front of my foot was moving around inside the shoe which caused my toes to grip on like they would slide off (like flip flops). This made it difficult to walk comfortably. Zero arch support, but the foot bed is padded. Did not feel like they would stay on, even though they were buckled. Cute style but I will return these because they are so expensive for sandals.

These sandals were comfortable right out of the box. I have worn them several times and each time women comment on how cute they are. I have a narrow foot but need a wide toe box. The padding in the foot bed makes walking comfortable. Very happy!!!

Love the shoe, very soft leather true to Born. Just not a good fit for me.

Loved the look of the shoe, and it wasn't too wide for me, but it just felt like it was flopping all over the place when I walked. The leather was too soft or something to hold the shoe on my foot comfortably.

Description said leather upper, lining, and insole. Not true. The insole is vinyl and feels hot to walk on, even indoors on a cool day. What is the point of spending more for a leather sandal if the part which touches your sole is hot, sticky and likely to split after a season or two? Born used to have leather insoles. Now you spend more than $100 to walk on something that feels like plastic.

Gorgeous. Makes the foot look smaller. Very comfortable.

I ordered my normal size -nine, but they were very loose on me so I went down to an eight and they worked great.

Fun and unusual design that goes well with both pants and skirts/dresses...so versatile and the Born comfort can't be beat...especially in a flat sandal! Love them!

True to size. These sandals are so comfy and beautiful. I have them in black as well.

Love these! So comfortable and can wear all day from the first time wearing them!!

Comfortable right out of the box. Not a ton of padding on the footbed, but just enough.

Great shoe for many different outfits.

These sandals are amazingly comfortable. The leather is super soft, I wore them all day with no break in needed. They have a boho feel, super cute with jeans, shorts, casual dresses. I’ll be wearing these all summer!

Cute and true to size but I need more arch support

These fit a little big. They were just OK. Nothing to write home about. For 100 bucks it definitely was not worth it.

A bit loose feeling. Was a shade or so lighter than pictured.

Sandals are WAY too wide. I wear sz 11 Medium width. The leather straps that go over the front of my foot didn't touch the top of my foot. Can't imagine how they'd be after the leather stretched after wearing. I REALLY wanted these to fit because they are exactly what I was hunting multiple websites for. These should be relabeled as "Wide" to sell and be enjoyed. Really beautiful leather but just too wide. :(

The size is true but the construction is not perfect. The middle strap that goes over the top of the foot digs into the bone just under the pinky toe. Its looks nice but not good enough

I love the look but the leather is too stiff and unfortunately will have to return!

Not nearly as cushioned as my many other pairs of Born.

These sandles had some style, but the unbacked leather would have become too limp and the arch support did not exist.

I've had these for a year and I'm the last month they've started to fall apart. The glue holding the straps together is failing so there outer leather and the lining are completely separated. Such a bummer too, I love the style and the feel of these sandals.

Leather was buttery soft, but looks like these had been worn. Bottoms were dirty and there was a bit of wear/stress in the buckle area. The front of the shoe was extremely narrow, so I was unable to get my foot all the way into the shoe and zip it. They are attractive, but not for wider feet. I wear 8M and these were too narrow.
