Born Reviews
These shoes are pretty comfortable, I like the look with jeans and casual slacks. The fit is a little different and it seems like the left toe box is a little more shallow than the right, I'm hoping it will be better when they soften up a bit. The leather wears well, and is rather stiff right now. It seems like the leather that will become wonderfully soft after more wear. Not much arch support - I have to wear orthotics in them, and only my slimmest orthotics fit well because the top comes up so high the foot. I've always liked Born shoes.
I am a long time fan of Born products for their comfort and high quality. The Tembi is great fun to wear for a casual and very contemporary look. They look wonderful with rolled up skinny jeans so you can show off the styling and buckles. You are able to ease into this boot and feel like you are wearing your favorite pair of comfy slippers. Excellent for walking long distances and not giving your feet a second thought. Now for the downside: They are not the same quality that I have come to expect of Born. The leather feels less luxurious. I anticipate that they will have a short lifespan and not the longevity of my other Born boots and shoes. With that said, I have made peace with this fact and plan to just enjoy their good looks and feel. I think they are overpriced and would encourage savvy shoppers to wait until they are on sale. Hopefully here soon!
I was a bit disappointed with the look and also the quality of this boot. Very round toe which I think is really unfashionable. The quality is not what I am used to in a Born boot and for this price; I am sending them back. They were comfortable enough and good heel height to walk in.
I love Born boots! These are super cute and sexy! (And comfortable.) I want more Born boots...
I ordered a size 8 and it was a perfect fit. It's very comfortable and stylish. I am very please.
Love these boots, but they didn't fit. I got two sizes, even bigger than I usually wear and neither fit. They were too tight across the forefoot. very disappointing since the boots are so cool looking and the calf was nice and wide. My other Born boots fit great. sad to see them go.
I can't say enough about this boot and Zappos! Ordered in the evening and still got them the next day! I will always check here first for any order. As for the boot, they are very nice looking and very comfortable. Will be perfect with my work slacks and then with my designer jeans. I wear a 7 in open toe shoes and 7.5 in boots. I ordered the 7.5 and they fit perfect if I wear a thin sock. I have no complaints with the arch as in other reviews. I have a pretty good arch. I walk comfortably in these. Love them so much I got both brown and black.
These shoes are exactly what I was looking for. I'm sort of grateful for the first bad review because my size didn't sell out as a result (as it usually does), but I have to disagree with the first review. Granted, the shoe is slim and not good for wide feet, but if that is not the case they will fit great (I don't have particularly narrow feet either). They are super comfortable and the leather is very nice. They look beautiful with tights and a skirt or leggings and no socks. Born also added detail to the lightly padded insole with a nice plaid fabric. Just all around awesome.
I very much agree with some of the other reviewers. This is a beautiful boot, but there is no way it would ever fit a wide calf. I own some Frye Veronica Slouch extended calf boots which fit perfectly, and Zappos has these listed as larger in the calf than the Fryes, yet these won't even think about zipping up on my leg. Yes, my calves are large but 16" should fit if 15.75" fits. Too bad because they are lovely.
This is one fantastic boot for my narrow foot. I absolutely love everything about it -- the look, the fit, the quality and the comfort. I ordered it in brown, and then in black. It is nearly impossible for me to find a comfortable shoe, but I've found one with the Born Tembi; and Zappos, you are #1 in customer service. Thanks!
I always buy Born shoes for my daughter. We are not rich (by any stretch of the imagination), but they are a good investment. They last until she outgrows them and they are amazingly comfortable -- we're both very happy with these shoes as we always are with Born (and Zappos!). They are perfect for school -- because they are sensible, sturdy and comfy. She can run and kick the ball with these as easily as with tennis shoes.
I love these boots! Comfy and fun. I'm mom and I can ware them around without feel over dressed but still stylish. They about a size big. I where a 7.5-8 and I got a 7 in these.
My boots arrived in no time at all. From the first they felt very comfortable. I like the rounded toe as my feet are often pinched in other shoes. I ended up ordering this boot in the black.
I normally wear a 8.5/9 so tried a 9. The length was a bit too long but more importantly it was a bit too wide. With a cute wedge this high, I want my foot firmly held in the shoe. Got it in an 8 and it's a perfect width and length. I'd recommend 1/2 to 1 size smaller than you normally wear. Went with Born brand because I have Born flat leather sandals that I've worn for years that are so comfortable and are so well made that they have lasted for many a summer.
I bought this shoe as a gift for my daughter. She is completely satisfied with the color,fit and style. I'm thinking about getting a pair for myself.
Hubby said they were totally comfortable right out of box. He has wide foot - no problem.
I have two pairs of Born boots with the Leawood wrapped heel. This material is terrible and I will stop buying Born boots. It chips off the heel if you rub the heel against the stairs accidentally and you can't really repair it. It looks like a stacked heel but it's a cheap substitute. Otherwise this boot is beautiful and the construction of the heel is unfortunate.
Love 'em. These shoes are so cute and super comfortable. I have a pair of Born flats in an 8 1/2, but based on previous reviews, I ordered a 9 and they fit perfectly.
Looks like this will be my perfect ballet flat. Great fit, and looks like it's going to have that great Born comfort. Just need it to stop being so rainy and cold in Seattle so I can wear them. I'm going to be watching for more colors!
I love Born shoes and was finally looking to replace my current pair. Fell in love with the style of this shoe immediately. I listened to the other reviews and ordered a half size larger. I have a narrow foot and even with the half size larger they were extremely too narrow. I returned these shoes the next day....very disappointed b/c I loved the style of the shoe. :(
