I love these mules. Born doesn\'t make a size 5.5, but the 6 work pretty well with socks. They are comfortable and lightweight.

Just wore these for the first time today and they felt great. I normally wear a 10, but the 9 1/2 fit fine. I\'m home wearing slippers now, but could have left these on all evening.

This is a great shoe and is now my favorite (I bought it in both colors). The leather is beautiful and good quality, and they are the most comfortable shoes I own, right out of the box. I think they best fit feet that are more narrow than wide. For instance, I love Keen shoes, but I find them wide and short in the toebox, which doesn't suit me. This fits more like a Merrell. I wear a 6 1/2 Merrell, but a 6 Born.

I bought these shoes two months ago. I wear them almost every day. These shoes are incredible. Nice and soft and completely comfortable from the get-go. They look like brown boots when wearing jeans. They have creases on the top of the shoe already, so they do look worn pretty quickly. But with the soft leather it has to happen. The shoe was a little big for my foot so I put a pad in the heels to make them a little tighter.

I am quite happy with these boots. I\'ve been looking for a pair for several years and am very pleased to have found these. A thin/silky pair of socks helps them slide on without too much effort. They add a more put-together look to pants/jeans. The heel is similar to that of cowboy boots so if you don\'t like that look, you may want to rethink this. Since I don\'t usually wear a heel it does take a little getting used to, but overall I am very pleased with them.

These are the most comfortable boots I\'ve ever worn. I needed 1/2 size smaller than I normally wear. I loved them so much, that I ordered them in black too!

Overall:

I have the brown Lewisa boots and find them to be a stylish yet not too trendy boot. I have worn them with a sweater dress and cord pants. Though I do have thin ankles and calves I felt the boot ran a bit big in those areas especially compared to past boot purchases. But, the Lewisa are so comfortable I decided to keep them. Additionally, thanks for the great service Zappos!

Overall:

Pretty, but... I ordered these in the brown suede, and they are very pretty boots. They seem to be narrow in the foot, which is fine for me because my feet are on the narrow side, but it's something to think about when you order. Also, I wear a 9.5, and I have to say these boots make my feet look really long! I think it's the combination of a slightly narrower looking foot and the lower heel. So if you're sensitive about the way your feet look, it's something to consider. I've worn them with jeans, and they look very nice (but long!).

First the pros: these shoes are very cute and feel like slippers. I have the olive green color which goes with just about everything. I bought them to wear to work with dress slacks and they are great for that purpose. They accommodate my bunion without discomfort. Now the cons: there is very little arch support. The sole is very flexible and on the thin side. They feel a little flimsy compared to my Merrells. So I would not use these as walking shoes, there is just not enough support there. For the same reason, these may not be for you if you spend a lot of time on your feet. But for office wear they are great.

Overall:

These boots are absolutely gorgeous in person, but the leather is too stiff for comfortable walking. I have muscular calves, but these were way too lose in the shaft. It would be a good look with skinny jeans, perhaps, but certainly not with skirts. The look of the leather is to die for, but I can't see how they will break in enough to actually walk in them.

I love Born shoes. These boots are of beautiful quality. From the first step into these they are comfortable and require no breaking in, like any Born shoes. These are lovely, stylish, hip, and comfortable. What more do you want? The sizing is true to 7.5 and the width is perfect. I consider these an investment and a style that will last for many years to come.

This was my second pair of Born shoes. This brand has superior construction and I anticipate it will last for many years. This style delivers perfect support for my feet. The velcro straps allow for perfect adjustment and fit. The Mary Jane sporty style fits my lifestyle. Goes with skirts, shorts and jeans. It is my go to shoe. Give it a try. Zappos' free shipping and free return policy are the best online! What have you got to lose? And happy feet to gain!

I've been looking for super comfortable boots that look great, and I'm in love with these! I've gotten so many compliments on them, and yet they are so comfy! They are a little wide for my narrow foot, but I wear two pairs of socks and they're great.

The look is fantastic but the shoe runs at least 1 size too big. In addition, the shoe is very narrow. They were very painful to wear due to the narrowness of the shoe. I have never considered my feet to be wide! I wish they were the ones. The style is great!

My most comfortable boot. My only complaint is the finish on the leather. I love the dulled look but they seem to show a lot of wear. Great for a casual look, though.

These shoes are very cool looking in person and they're are very comfortable, except I have a high instep and the elastic under the top flap (where the tongue of the shoe would be if there was one) bothers my right foot. The shoes run bigger than I expected.

Overall:

I cannot walk across a room in heels, but I can run in Born's heeled boots. I have a pair with 3-inch heels and a pair with 2 3/4 inch heels. Comfy as sneakers, but so pretty. Therefore, when I needed a pair of flat boots, I looked to Born to see what they could do. Ordered the Margy boots at 3:00 on a Tuesday, and by 7 a.m. the next day, they were on the local UPS truck on their way to my door. KY to CA in that time is amazing! The boots were gorgeous. I love the rich finish on them, not glossy, more of a waxed, vintage look. The dark brown is a wonderful color and just neutral and low key enough to make the red plaid pop without being obnoxious. For fit, no disappointment. These are the comfiest, squishiest, bendiest (it's a technical term!) boots ever. I didn't expect the cushioning inside and really liked it. My calves are not slender, by any means, but I can pull these on and off with no problems with the buckles in default position, and there's even a hole with which to loosen them, should I want to. Unfortunately, although I wear a 9 in all my other Born shoes/boots, these nines bumped my toes. Guess this style runs a little smaller. I called Zappos at 8 p.m. when I got home for the day, and they shipped me my replacement pair right away, overnight again. No further charge. And the person I talked to on the phone was so relaxed, thorough, and friendly. I wish Zappos sold everything: cars, houses, groceries. Overall, very happy with the boots and Zappos. Can't wait to get the pair of Margy boots that fits. I marked feels true to size, but that is in terms of all the other shoe brands out there. For Born, this seems to run about half a size smaller than usual.

Born makes the best boots out there. High quality leather, nice lining, comfortable heels to walk in. These boots are the only comfortable boots I\'ve found with a higher heel. They look great too!

Overall:

I ordered these in Nubuck and they're very cool. The fit was great and there was virtually no break in period. They are a bit of a hassle to pull on due to the small loop on the back, but worth the extra bit of trouble (because of the cool look). They are not a good choice to wear when you're on your feet for long periods as there is a bit of a heel. I like the cool hint of western style.

I like Born shoes because it has a lot of cushion support, which I need because I am heavy set and enjoy the feel of the cushion on my feet as I walk.

This is an extremely comfortable casual shoe. There is absolutely no breaking in period needed. As always, thanks to Zappos, the delivery was at record speed. Something worth noting; the color description. I ordered the Truffle (Grey) Nubuck. It is nowhere near a grey color. It\'s definitely a brown tone. I love them though, and am glad I have them!

Overall:

The Ophelia boot is very stylin' and works great with both jeans and trousers, and could even be worn with a skirt. I love the high but stable heel. The leather is beautiful quality, although the boot was little tight for my size (size 10) when I got them. They have softened considerably and are now quite comfortable. I am very pleased! As always, Zappos ROCKS!
