Love these shoes, very comfortable. Two things though, the ankle strap is very short. I had to poke an additional hole in the strap. Second, the top stitching on the insole took a little bit to get use to. I could feel it on the bottom of my feet and it was a little weird. I do though plan to purchase the sea green color.

I love Born shoes. I bought these in more than one color. They are very comfortable, and I wear them all day long, frequently. My only disappointment with them is the white aren't really white. They are more of a grayish, off white color -- okay, but not my preference.

These are very comfortable. I have a hard time wearing heels, even platforms sometimes, but not these. True to size. I'm an 8 1/2 and they fit great. I got the nude an although I love the color, they are a bit harder to match with clothes than I thought. I wish these came in black! I've gotten lots of compliments on them.

Bought these shoes to wear on a daily basis with jeans. They are very comfortable! Easy to get on and off and they are very good looking. I highly recommend them!

Holy cats! These shoes feel amazing, right out of the box. No breaking in, no ouchy-ness, nothing. The footbed has just the right amount of cushioning too. I do see what some other reviewers said about the front straps fitting loose. Fortunately for me, on my feet they are just a tiny bit loose & it's not any sort of problem at all. These look fantastic & are very well constructed as one would expect from Born. Thumbs up!

Beautiful caramel color, soft leather and very comfy for hubby. He wears 10.5 in shoes, and 11 in sneakers, typically. We ordered 10, because I've heard that Born tends to run slightly large. The 10 was too large on him. Sent back and re-ordered 9 and fit perfectly. Bottom line, shoe runs 1 - 1.5 too big. Also, the top part of shoe kept slipping to either side of his feet. We solved that problem by using a little bit of leather glue to glue the part nearest his toes. All worth it.

I bought a pair of the shoes loved them, I work on my feet all day. They look great with all dress pants and jeans. I was very disapointed when I found that the sole split all the way across the sole of both shoes. I will purchase the shoe again because of the comfort and style.

I'm loving these shoes. They're my second pair of Borns, the first being the Born Davey's, which I wore for at least a year almost every day. Very comfortable to walk in, and I love to walk. The fit was perfect. I get lots of compliments on the cool look.

This is an AWESOME shoe! It is so comfortable and very cool looking. I generally do not like the look of sandals, in part because I have large feet (size 11). These look great, and minimize the foot. Despite the platform height they are super comfortable to walk in. Very high quality construction! I want every BORN shoe now!

I'm really picky about shoes and these are unbelievably comfortable. Perfect summer shoe. They are sort of an off-white color that just seems to go with everything. I went away for a long weekend and these were literally the only shoes I brought (besides flip flops for the beach). Pricey, but worth every penny.

These are so comfortable and quite cute on. They give you height without looking like you're trying too hard. Really like them. Have them in black too.

Why, oh why can't these come in half sizes? Size 6 too small, size 7 too big. They are so cute, but alas...

These shoes are adorable but they were just too wide for me. My foot was sliding around all over the place. So bummed but have to return them. Thank you Zappos for the hassle free returns and outstanding customer service!

I bought the dark brown. They were so comfortable and cute that I went back for the natural. Surprisingly the stripe heel is really subtle and goes with more than you think it would. Both pairs were worn straight out of the box. I love Born wedges!

Like all Born shoes that I have gotten, these are super comfortable straight out of the box. The only complaint I have is that the strap slides into a very thin piece of leather after you buckle it. I am hoping that eventually it will not rip, but I would have liked a full metal buckle instead.

These shoes are extremely comfortable - I did not have to break them in at all. I got them in a 7 since that is what all my Born shoes are, but these seem just a bit smaller. If they were made in a 7½ I would have exchanged them just so I do not feel like my toes are peeking over the edge.

I bought the off white shoes. And while the color on the website appeared to be off white, in actuality, they have a decided grey tint to them. So despite being a cute style and pretty comfortable, they are going back.

Love, love, love. These are my favorite sandals ever. A couple of years ago, after having stress fractures in both feet from doing martial arts and always wearing flats with no support, my doctor recommended I wear shoes with good support that aren't too bendy. I bought several pairs of Danskos--two pairs of sandals, some mary janes, and some boots. The Danskos did a fine job of protecting my feet, and were great to wear after my feet healed up, but the heels were troublesome--I had the problem where I'd nearly fall over. As the weather started warming up this spring, I put on my Dansko sandals, but kept having that issue with the heels, and it was getting annoying. I'd heard good things about Born's sandals, and was happy to find the Timia. The shoe is even cuter in person. I've worn them the past two days, and I don't want to take them off! They were comfortable right out of the box. They offer nice support for my feet, and have the added bonus of feeling cushiony. I am going to buy a pair in another color, as well as a pair of the Belindas. Bye bye, Dansko; hello, Born!

I am over 50 years old, and finding very comfortable shoes with a slight heel is getting more difficult these days. As such, for my feet, I would rate these shoes 4.5. For young agile feet, they probably would have been a perfect 5 in comfort.

This is the second pair of this shoe that I own. I bought this shoe, first of all for comfort-a tennis shoe with an arch support and secondly because it goes with everything and the goldish silver wears very well. I bought the first pair almost 2 years ago.

These are very cute sandals and very comfortable. I ordered a 7 which is my normal size. But they were too big. I have a pretty wide toe area. But the shoes were very loose in that area. Born does not do half sizes and my heels would hang over in a 6. I am sorry to send them back because I really loved them (I bought the Jeans color).
