These are fabulous sandals. I ordered them because I love platform sandals a la the 60s. I have been a Dansko fan for many years, so buying Born shoes was a first for me. The craftsmanship on these shoes is excellent, the styling is so cool, and the color a perfect, yummy caramel. They were comfortable the first day I wore them, and I walked all day at a street faire - in the heat. The foot beds feel like walking on a cloud, I did not get blisters anywhere, and ankles did not hurt at all. I would say to be careful stepping off a curb, but that goes for any shoe. These shoes go well with bell bottom jeans and even skirts. Comfortable, well-made, pretty. Who could ask for more? Maybe some new colors like sage, tangerine, turquoise, eggplant... Love, love, love them!
