I purchased these sandals for a Europe trip. I had been stressing about shoes for some time and am so glad I chose these! They were great! Very comfortable, zero break in time, and super cute!!

My quest to find comfortable, stylish and 'supported' sandals was proving difficult. But then I found these bad boys - the leather is incredibly soft, the cushioning is AMAZING and the color/style is wonderful! I walk to work and wanted a sandal I could wear all day without hurting my knees. Problem solved. I very much recommend these shoes; they are worth the price.

Had to return a 10M for a 9M because they were so large. Even the 9M is starting to loosen up with a few weeks of wear. The leather is super smooth and soft. They are comfortable and supportive with a great sole.

Loving these sandals right out of the box! Super soft leather, the always cushy Born sole and adjustable straps for a perfect fit. My foot is just a tad wide and I always end up with straps digging in, but these have plenty of room without being too wide. I wore them right out of the box with a blue linen dress I had on and got lots of compliments. Very comfy, versatile and super cute! They check all the boxes.

True to size! I ordered this in a 9M/tan after ordering the 9M/black and having them fit well. However, the 9M/tan is much truer to size and significantly more snug than the black leather version! I am usually a 10M, but the 10M/black was much too big. I am going to see if the leather will stretch a bit and hang on to the 9M/tan for a few weeks. Difference seems to be in the leather. The tan leather is more stiff. Either way, the shoes are comfortable right out of the box.

Really cute sandal! The leather is buttery soft. Seems true to size. The embossing on the footbed is cute, but irritates the skin on the bottom of my feet. I'd forgotten about this from a previous pair of Born sandals. Wish they'd stop doing this! LOL Have to send them back.

Love this stylish shoe from Born. Comfortable out of the box, striking style which works as well with jeans as it does with casual skirts & dresses. Can walk long distances in comfort. This pushed aside my selection of Ecco sandals for urban vacations in which I tend to walk a lot and stand for hours in museums. Comfortable and cute.

I ordered these last week and oh my, the pictures do not do it justice. They are beautiful, and comfortable. I have wide feet and I was worried from other reviews the ankle strap would be a problem, but they are not. They fit great and I'm sure they're going to be my go to sandal this summer (and I will probably buy the gold too!)

I bought these sandals for a vacation to Paris. Style-wise, they worked well with every outfit I brought along, from dressy pants, to jeans, capris and skirts. They were the only shoes I wore for the entire vacation and never gave me any trouble. In fact, they were so comfortable that I wore them while walking over 75 miles of Paris’ cobblestone streets. I highly recommend them, for the price they are well worth it!

So comfy and went with everything. They were my favorite new summer sandals. Sadly, they were also my dog's favorite summer sandals. Thus, I am ordering another pair.

I love these Sandals. The leather is super soft around your feet. I am a size 8 & needed to add gel inserts for a ‘perfect fit’ that made them even more comfy thou so no biggie. The leather DOES stretch after awhile & im funding after a few years I know they’ll stretch too much eventually. Still the favorite sandals I’ve ever owned. :) Good daily walkers. Longer distances even ok in these.

When I first tried these on I loved them, till I started trying on more shoes, then these didn't seem as stylish. They didn't hide my bunion as well as some of the others I tried. They also rubbed a little bit on my wide toe box. Returned.

LOVE LOVE LOVE ! I usually wear an 8.5 to 9 - after reading reviews I settled on an 8 - they are perfect. Leather is beautiful and soft - no break in time needed - they fit like a glove.......for your feet. Very casual and comfortable.

I bought these prior to a vacation when I knew I would be walking a lot. They were a great buy. They are stylish but I also offer arch support. The color makes them easy to pair with a lot of outfits. They still remain in great condition even after walking multiple miles a day. I am usually in between an 8 and an 8 1/2. I went with the eight and they fit very well.

I’m a size 8.5 and ordered size 8 and they were too small. May try ordering the 9 at some point but they’ll probably be too big...so bummed because these feel so comfortable except that the back of my foot is hanging off the back a little. So I’d say these are true to what size 8.

I thought the straps were going to be too thick for the sandal to be cute, but they are not and the sandal is VERY cute! Very comfortable sole. I bought them for an event where I will be standing for 8 hours and I do not think they will disappoint.

These shoes are wonderful! So comfortable right out of the box and no break in time. The leather is buttery soft and does not cut in at all. I am a true 9 1/2 and the 9 was too small but the 10 fit perfectly. Definitely recommend!

Loved these sandals so much that I got another pair in a different color. Comfortable right out of the box. Look cute with pants, crops, capris, shorts and dresses. The arch support could be a little more but still really comfortable all day long. The ankle straps are very comfortable. The white isn’t a bright white but still a pretty and neutral color. I also bought the tan ones - love both!

Shoes are cute but are too flat for my needs. I need more arch support and cushioning as I planned to wear these on a trip to Europe that would involve a lot of walking. Also, I thought the top straps were not flattering on my short legs. I think a lighter color might have been okay but not the black color against my fair skin. Size wise, I am between a 6 and 5 1/2, with the 5 1/2 generally being a better size in sandals but these did not seem like they would have been too big.

Bought the shoes for Portugal travel. Love the shoe, neutral color and leather is so soft. Usually wear a 9.5, but ordered a 9 because my size was unavailable: Ultimately had to send back because my toes hung over the front slightly. Bummed. 9.5 would’ve been perfect!

If between sizes, go smaller! I didn’t and they’re a bit floppy, but very comfy and cute!
