At first I was reluctant to buy these due to the price but they are worth every penny.  The footbed is pillowy soft and light.  The overall design, heel shape and heel size are feminine and elegant making them compatible with nicer skirts and dresses yet I can still walk all day in them.  I think these are the magical one pair of shoes for all occasions that I can take on vacation.  Born sandals run large.  I normally wear 6.5 and got a 6 which fits perfectly and will probably stretch over time.  I also initially really liked the ivory color when I saw it in person but got the brown instead because I thought the ivory would get dirty very quickly (and the brown was also about $15 cheaper).
