BORN Women's, Inlet Sandal

I have pretty extensive arthritis in my feet and toes and have been struggling to find a black, leather, summer slip-on sandal that is attractive and comfortable and does not have a toe post or much of a heel. While I finally found an older Birkenstock style that worked for me, I still wanted something that was a bit more flexible in style, i.e. not so chunky and could be more dressed-up. After months of looking, review-reading, buying and returning I finally tried the Born Inlet Sandal and found The One.Pros: The style is perfect for me. Simple, classic, and moves from casual to dressy very easily. The quality is excellent; soft, attractive leather, comfortable padded sole and well-made overall. The strap fits my foot well whereas many of the sandals I tried that had non-adjustable straps across the forward part of the foot were far too large. I would be able to fit at least 2 fingers between the strap and my foot in many of them. I have long toes and was afraid the strap might not look well on me but I like where the top strap crosses my foot, just at the lower part of my toes but not below. Most important to me, because the leather is soft, even in areas where I have enlarged joints from arthritis, there is still no painful squeezing or rubbing. The sole is soft and padded and I do think this is the most comfortable pair of shoes of any type that I own.Cons: So far I have none. Leather stretches of course but after a couple of weeks of constant wear, including travel and long walks (these really are more comfortable than my slippers) I don't see anything to worry about yet. I don't have concerns about arch support so not sure if that might be an issue for some people.

These are great sandals - they look classy but work as well for everyday wear as for more dressy occasions. They’re comfortable but are not for intensive, long walks or hikes. I’m enjoying them, even when I’m just hanging out around the house.

Love these sandals! They are so cute. My only issue is with sizing. I’m an 8 and had to go down to a 7. The right foot of the 7 was perfect and comfortable, but the left foot (which tends to be a tiny bit smaller than my right) was very tight and gave blisters on my baby toe. 🤷🏻‍♀️

I usually wear a size 7.5 but ordered a size 8. Glad I did fit is perfect. The leather is soft and the foot bed has some cushion to it which I like. No buckels or elastic stretch. Just the soft leather l, which overtime I imagine will only get more loose and conform to my feet. Very nice quality leather open toed sandals. I wanted something comfortable that could be worn with capris or a sundress, these are just right for summer. I would buy in black too.

I've never written a review for Amazon before, but I have to now, because these sandals are AMAZING! Buttery soft leather, great fit, and cushy footbeds make them so comfortable I want to wear them all the time. Plus they look great. I only wish they came in a true blue; that's what I was looking for, but settled for the turquoise (which is beautiful by the way). I also tried the BORN Christa sandal because it did come in blue, but not the same AT ALL--I returned the Christa.

I have 3 other pairs and the soles were so cushy! These were a bit flatter no so cushy/ comfy!!! But I did pay a few dollar less. I do wear them anyway!!!

I love them. Color is gorgeous and very comfortable! Hard to find Born and boc in stores.

I love Borne shoes. These are true to size and such great quality. Highly recommend
