What a disappointment. Born shoes and sandals used to be of a high quality. The leather outer and suede lining of these sandals are of very poor quality, and the sizing is way off. I have a wide foot yet my feet were swimming in the B width.

If I wanted used shoes, I wouldn’t pay $100 dollars for them. Bottom of shoes were dirty, water stains on sandals. Straps were already broken in. Disappointed Zappos.

My new favorite shoes! I have wide feet and unhappy bunions and these are comfortable. Look cute too!

I love born sandals, these are wider than normal and feel like I'm almost wearing a Birkenstock with a wider footbead than normal. Basically, they felt more clunky than what I was looking for. The brown and tan are beautiful in this shoe though.

Love these shoes. I have bad feet and bunions. I have returned many shoes but these were perfect. I usually wear a 7 or 7&1/2 and the 7 fit perfectly.
Great for a wide foot.

I absolutely love these sandals! Thank you to all of the reviewers to help me make sure I knew what I was getting. They are definitely a little wider than some sandals, but they are not technically a wide size. Definitely think Birkenstock, but a little more stylish. The cork footbed is almost bouncy, so it's like walking on air! The soles are like a solid wedge / Birk, so they aren't going to flex. But the leather is super soft. If you are in for this kind of style, they are amazing!

These shoes are great. I love the color and the straps fit in all the right places. Reading the reviews before ordering was very helpful. These shoes do
run 1/2 to a full size larger. I usually wear a 9.5 and purchased a 9 in this style, based on the comments. I have a bunion on my left foot that makes finding comfortable, well fitting shoes almost impossible but these work. They are cute and stylish as well.

I'm debating whether to keep these sandals. Born sizing never fits me quite right, always a little too big. This shoe is wide and loose, although I ordered my equivalent U.S. size. My feet slide around a little in them. But I love the cork insole, which is very helpful for sweaty feet, and the style is beautiful. I ordered the "neutral" light tan color, which is great for light color summer clothes. So maybe I'll keep them.

These sandals fit me well and seemed comfortable. BUT they have a very strong chemical smell - very different from the smell of genuine leather. I have several other pairs of Born sandals and shoes and I've never had this issue with them. I don't believe these sandals are made of genuine leather.

These are my favorite shoes, ever!! They give me a bit of height and go with everything from jeans to dresses. I’ve worn them for two summers now and I will cry when they are no longer good to wear. But some very hard wear especially this summer and they are still great!!

I love these shoes!! I don’t think I’ve had any other shoe on my feet since the weather turned warm. They are darker than they look on my screen. If they come back I’m buying more! They are comfortable and though I was worried about the “cork” platform in the rain, they still look brand new!!

Wearing these immediately because they are so comfortable! I'm a solid 10 and these fit perfectly; snug and secure, but no irritation so far. I bought these to match a specific pair of pants (orange) and the color matches the pictures pretty well. The style doesn't do much for my feet, but they work for what I bought them for and the comfort truly outweighs how they look. I'm eyeing all the other Born sandals with cork footbeds now! Great for every day casual use!

Love these shoes. Needed the extra height to match boot height after foot surgery.

I love these shoes! They are so comfortable. I have worn them twice now and both times I didn't want to take them off! The are lightweight, supportive and very cute. I actually just checked to see if they came in black because I wanted another pair but sadly they are not available in black.

True fit and very comfortable. Rubbed a bit on both little toes at first,but resolved with a few wearings.

Beautiful sandals, but I had trouble buckling the buckles in the back. Too tough for me.

I absolutely love these sandals. They did come a little loose in the width. My feet are wider than they are narrow - but I always wear an M width. I have been wearing these sandals for 2 weeks & they haven’t stretched out at all. The straps on the top of the shoe are reinforced (maybe to prevent stretching?)
My favorite Born shoes so far!

I love these shoes! They are so comfortable, right out of the box and they look great. The platform gives me a little height but there is no strain on any part of my foot. I can slip them on and off easily. I wear them almost daily. Tempted to buy another pair for when these wear out.

Nice comfortable shoe but was too big. Also the color was a little more drab than in the photo. For the price point it wasn’t quite up to par so I returned it.

This sandal has a huge toe box and not enough holes in the back strap to make it tight enough. Very disappointing.

This sandal does not have a way to adjust the fit across the foot, only around the ankle area. This pair were too loose around the foot so I had to return them. I like other Born shoes and boots I have purchased, but not this one.
